| Name | Victoria B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared suddenly, heading towards the earth and disappeared above the horizon. The "fire ball" was BRIGHT and blue to green. It had a bright yellowish color train. Looked like a movie and happened so fast there was no time to get my phone to take pics or video. IF it was a meteor and still intact, it should have hit ground north of Sacramento. I did not hear a boom and could not see it hit ground. AMAZING!! |
