Observer
Name Craig E
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The time is approximate, it was between 8 pm - 8:30 pm. The fireball/meteor disappeared behind the hill that I was facing towards (East towards downtown San Diego). Three people with me saw it from the beginning and their reaction made me turn around to see the end of it. The actual time was 1 or 2 seconds.
