 sighting, #8), because it was travelling north, but did this go over the
 horizon, or is this your sighting in which you witnessed "dark flight"
 prior to the sonic boom, in which case you would be correct, it would be
 closer to Palomar than Barstow.

Bo,
This was my sighting that I witnessed "dark flight" for a few degrees  and 2 
minutes and 43 seconds prior to the sonic boom. No it did not go over the 
horizon. I think I would be stretching it if I were to say that it might have 
dropped a meteorite in Barstow. I wasn't too sure where you said you found 
yours, so I threw anything in that was remotely possible for you to weed out 
at your leisure.  I'm curious as to what kind of meteorite you have? I don't 
recall your mentioning? I wonder if it could be related to the Old Woman 
Meteorite found in the Mojave desert? That was an iron.
