| Name | Geoff S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It arced from the northwest to southwest, far too low for a plane or satellite, bright and had a long bright streak … it was moving really fast. Thought it was either a fireball or meteor, size wise was pretty big considering the circularish shape and distance, but had a clear view … it was over Bodega Bay. I’ve seen plenty of meteor showers. But none this bright, close, or low in the sky. |
