| Remarks | My wife and I walk up this road almost every day. On Sunday, April 22, 2012, at approximately 7:50 AM my wife shouted \"Bob look\" and we saw a red fireball that was moving at incredible speed. It was moving right to left...we were walking up the hill. It was all very quick. Best description is a red ball with a tail moving faster than anything I have ever seen at almost 8 in the morning.We saw no explosion and we felt no impact. We live in the South Bay Area of Northern California. |
