Hi Cinde,

It was actually on Monday, March 26th.

You probably mean 19:30 PST (4:30 UT on the 27th).  If so,
I reported a relatively dim (magnitude 2) fast-moving
meteor at that time.  It was nothing special, lasting
less than 0.4 seconds and covering about 10 degrees of
arc.  Definitely unrelated to the 8:20pm PST bolide.

Best,
Rob
