| Remarks | So about 5:30 in the morning, on the way to work i had seen the craziest Looking fireball meteor ,with a huge long tail if i could imagine it being about the size of a jet, It was really low, maybe 20-30 feet over the tree line, shortly after it had looked like it stopped in mid air, i could hear and see it crackling in the air and 100s of fragments just raining down in the vineyard area in the town of sebastopol. needless to say i had front row seats to something very wonderful, but scary at the same time as i didnt know if it was going to explode and break anything around me or potentially hurt me if it had landed near me,i cannot stress how close i was to something this extraordinary and beautiful and mesmerizing |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | it had kind of felt like it was it was a firework that you would see on the 4th of july, but much much bigger, the way it crackled and fragmented off,this fiery explosion, awesome and scary but to close for my own comfort |
