| Name | Jean R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I though it was ashooting star and then I looked at the end and I saw a fireball. I thought it was plane that was going to crash becasue it was so big in the sky. I waited at the stoplight for a crash and a fireball on the ground ,but nothing happened. When I got to work, I metioned it to a few employees and they thought it could have been a meterorite. I happened to come across this website looking into any infomation I could find and saw that we could report it, so i did. I hope this helps. It looked to me that the spot would have been over the Folsom Lake area in Ca. |
