Hi All,
Bright white daytime fireball just observed from Seal
Beach, CA at 7:15:30pm PDT, starting about 18 degrees
above the north-northwest horizon and terminating
about 10 degrees above the horizon. Direction of
travel was roughly toward 7 o'clock in horizon
coordinates (6 o'clock being straight down toward the
horizon). No fragmentation was observed. Magnitude
approximately -8, and angular velocity was pretty
slow. Exact azimuth can be reconstructed (once it
gets dark enough for stellar references). Did anyone
else in the southern California area observe it?
