Remarks
The train or trail from the meteor broke up into about 10-15 visible pieces as it disintegrated. The meteor was extremely low to the ground compared meteors I have seen in the past. It was heading East to West at a 45degree angle. very impressive. I was looking south from my house and saw it over the lagoon towards Solana Beach.
Terminal flash
Observation
No
Remarks
Again, the meteor left a large amount of fragmentation. More fragmentation and clearer fragmentation than I have ever seen.
