(meteorobs) Anything unusual over Indiana tonight?

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

At almost precisely 2000 hrs Pacific Standard Time,  In Yuba City, 
California near Sacramento, I was re-adjusting a Sentinel system and was 
checking the sky with a second B/W monitor.

I saw a small white(B/W monitor) object streak across the entire sky horizon 
to horizon from East to West and only 10 degrees or slightly less North of 
True East & West in a straight line.

Its velocity was faster than a Satellite as the apprx. viewing period was 
about 2 seconds.

It did not have any luminescence or teardrop shape like a fireball. It was 
more of a bright point of light. I saw no persistant tail on my monitor. 
Just a fast streak as it moved across the center area of the screen .

The camera was not active at that moment due to adjustments. Sorry.
