| Observer | |

| Name | Stacey R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Thought this was a significant event. Other reports same day on news from Sacramento all the way to Los Angeles, CA. I don't feel what I saw is a common experience due to the timing, 5:30 am and looking toward the sky. Curious what other reports have been made and if there has been confirmation as the the origin, asteroid particle by any local observatories. |
