I heard a lot of buzz on late night television news stations,
and again this morning on what was probably a very bright
meteor off the southern California coast last night. Many
people called in to police and radio stations reporting a
downed aircraft in the vicinity of Long Beach Harbor, but
no wreckage was found nor were any aircraft reporting
missing. They concluded that it had to have been a meteor.
It was observed from as far north as San Luis Obispo. Did
anyone else see it (I did not)?

I am waiting for two reports from people I spoke with (via email). Both
seems to be reporting the same fireball, one from Corona and the other from
Huntington Beach, Ca. Will advise when I get their report.
