Observer
Name Sauls E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was traveling southbound on the CA-241 and saw the meteorite fall directly from the sky to earth. It was very close and very bright. I was driving directly south and the meteorite fell southeast before dissapearing over the hill. It was so close that it may have fallen in the Cleveland National Forest.
