Chris,
Using the rough elevation & azimuth data(West & 45 deg.) of the Oregon
observers Sept. 28th posting on AMS, and my accurate azimuth only,
disregarding my visual horizon estimate....it appears that the detonation
point is ~250 miles off
of the coast of lower Oregon and ~425 miles from Yuba City on a bearing of
314 degrees True North.
I believe the Oregon observer is likely near Medford(from my past memory),
and I have done a rough pictorial triangulation which is shown on my
temporary website
as:

Given the great distance and the brightness from the two observation
points....Is it likely that this event is not a meteor, but rather a
small asteroid which detonated?
"Tungustita" of sorts....????
