| Name | Susan R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was amazing to see, can only guess after reading it was a fireball it looked different than meters going across the sky or hitting the ground. Very bright light !! because our first thought was an airplane was crashing. It went right into the Sierra mountains. We expected to see a fire when it went down, we kept driving towards the area we think it went down in and never saw flames. We would love to know if others reported this and if it truly was a fireball. Thanks, |
