Meteor showers reported over parts of north and
central California
The Associated Press
July 10, 2003
LOS ANGELES -- Four separate meteor showers were
visible over parts of
northern and central California with reports of white,
blue and red
streaks in the sky, authorities said.
The meteor showers occurred at around 10 p.m.
Wednesday, said Greg Renick,
a spokesman for the state Office of Emergency
Services.
Renick said the odd-colored streaks were visible from
"several counties" -
as far north as Calaveras and Santa Barbara in the
south. He said he didn't
know why there would be red streaks in a meteor
shower.
A spokesman said the Federal Emergency Management
Agency had no information
about Wednesday's sightings but said meteor showers
were expected over the
next several days.

Meteors seen over SLO County
Ryan Huff
The Tribune (San Luis Obispo, California)
July 10, 2003
Several San Luis Obispo County residents said they saw
flaming objects in the sky
late Wednesday, as the Federal Emergency Management
Agency reported that four
meteor showers fell over California.
Multiple callers and a few deputies saw a bright
object falling through the sky
around 10 p.m., said Sheriff's Sgt. Tony Perry.
The California Office of Emergency Services received
reports from nearly every
county in the state. But no one, as of 11 p.m.,
reported that any meteors landed,
according to an agency spokesman.
Perry said the Sheriff's Department received an
unconfirmed report of a fallen object
in Pozo.
Meanwhile, a Cambria resident told The Tribune that an
object she believed fell in
her area was so bright it lit up her house through
pulled drapes. She first thought a
plane had crashed, she said.
No more information was available at as of 11 p.m
