It would be very helpful if you could provide the time as near as possible.
We have a radio meteor scatter system with a directional antenna pointed
somewhat east of Bakersfield.  Nevertheless, it is possible we might have
picked this up in one of the side lobes of the antenna.

Thanks for your help.
