Details:
Taken in the morning of 11 DEC 13, the two brightest meteors were probably Geminids. The fainter green one near bottom was a sporadic. The fireball in the top right was bright enough to cast shadows. While I failed to see it directly, I saw my house walls light up. The fireball occurred around 2:11AM MST. I'd estimate the magnitude to be -10. Sure wish my camera was aimed a bit higher up. This composite was from 10x60s, iso 5000, 16mm @ f/2.8. 2nd brightest object is Jupiter.
