CALIFORNIA FIREBALL
« on: December 28, 2008, 08:59:41 am »
CALIFORNIA FIREBALL: A remarkable fireball blazed across Califonia on Dec. 27th around 1:50 am PST. Its brilliant blue-green light caught the attention of onlookers (some inside their homes) all the way from San Francisco Bay in the north to the Los Angeles metropolitan area in the south--a range of more than 340 miles. According to one account, the object exploded with a thunderous boom, producing a spray of golden-colored fragments. Readers, if you witnessed or photographed this fireball, please submit a report.

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.

Could not see it due to thick fog..... Heard the sonic boom though. Thought that was from some Air Force jet  :o
