To all
This is what was captured on my AllSky cam.
Watch the lower left corner of the screen,
which reflects the area above Los Angeles .

Hi Jim,
 
I believe the Riverside cam caught it in movie mode 
or???  We checked with a couple of cams and Richard claimed he caught it 
but had to leave town.  He should be back today and may will give more 
information.
 
Cheers!
 
Jim

>Hello All,
>

>This morning wile driving NE on the 10 at N. Soto Street in Los Angeles,  my father and I noticed a spectacular brightening of the pre-dawn sky (through  moderately dense fog!) that illuminated all surroundings for 1-2 seconds --  long enough for me to look around and left towards USC's Keck Medical Center,  which was illuminated to the point of being colorless/white (brighter than  midday).  I saw it as a running succession of 2-3 flashes, but my father  stated that he observed a single continuous brightening.

>I believe what we saw was the terminal burst of a large bolide, but was  unable to gather any additional observations due to the fog.  Does anyone  know if it might be worthwhile to look at radar for the area?  I looked  at my cellphone moments after the burst (Verizon is my carrier) and the clock  read 6:29am.  
>
>
>I have no further information as to the direction/location of the burst;  the fog lit up, as did everything else in sight.  Since the face of the  hospital was well-lit by the event, I think it unlikely that the burst  occurred to the northwest of our location, but I do not know how fog might  diffuse light from such an event.

>Any help/advice would be appreciated.  I've been trolling the  internet for the past several hours, to no avail.
