I was working around Grand Junction, Colorado at 6:15am when my co-workers and myself saw a bunch of falling, burning objects in the skies. It looked like when the shuttle came down over Texas not to long ago. I was woundering if anyone else saw something in the Colorado morning skies?

You probably saw some space junk burning up on reentry. During any given week, there's usually something we put up there coming down but it usually happens over uninhabited regions like the oceans etc.

It was an old Russian rocket that just happened to fall out of orbit over the United States and it came down over Colorado

Hey did anyone know that there is a meteor shower called Quadrantids producing 50 to 120 meteors per hour,with the peak on jan 3-4.
that probably what you saw. usually ppl in northern hemisphere don't see it since shower peaks in early January when northern skies are cold and cloudy.

I was in Western Nebraska and saw a fireball travel across the sky from North to south and break up. It appeared to be an aircraft but yet it didn't look like one.

You saw a fireball, cool!
Oh, it's a manmade fireball, a Russian satellite re-entered.
