(meteorobs) Aug 11 bolide in N. California

[seismomom]

Hello,

I'd like to post a correction to a typo in this message. The 
estimated time that I saw this fireball was just after 12:00 am PDT 
on Aug 11, 2007. 

I see that there have been others who observed this bolide and have 
posted here. Has a location been determined so that a search for 
fragments might be conducted? Is there an agency or organization that 
would do this -- or just curious amateurs?

Thanks in advance for any info.
