| Name | MJ J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It could not possibly have fallen in Martinez, which is east of me. Folks in San Pablo (west of me) looked straight up to see it breaking apart (they thought it was a jet also). When I saw it, it was west of me moving almost due north and down. I would estimate pieces would have fallen from San Pablo to Mare Island. |
