Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | This probably sounds totally whacky, but the fireball appeared at almost the exact time that the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland, CA occurred. Right after I saw the fireball, I told my wife "That DEFINITELY landed in Oakland somewhere." I understand that most fireballs are cool when they hit, but this one was extremely large, bright. Prob no relation, but a crazy coincidence nonetheless. I've combed the internet a bunch since I saw it, and it seems that I'm the only person who saw this fireball above Oakland. |
