A detonating Fireball brighter than -11 occured North of Yuba City at 
20081117_1144:10  UT.  One of many fireballs in the early morning hours.

This particular one seems to be de-accelerating quickly on a fairly steep 
angle downwards and there is some evidence of a breakup into two parts from 
some of the three camera  programs that were recording.

Based on a single photograph(tongue-in-cheek), I place the detonation 
occurring over a the low foothill area just to the West & a point between 
Paradise & Cherokee, California.

This area is 35 to 42 miles North of Yuba City.

Anyone see or record this event?
