Standing at my window facing southwest in Crestone, Colorado 81131 on April 28th, 2009 at approximately 8:30pm I witnessed what appeared to be the largest star in the sky diving straight into the horizon. The object had a very wide and pronounced tail, this dive lasted about 10 seconds. The night was clear except for the leading edge of a front about 80 miles away moving in across the San Luis Valley, the object went behind or into the weather system
