| Remarks | I was driving west on Sir Francis Drake Blvd, heading towards Inverness, CA. I had my radio on, but all of sudden I was disoriented because I thought an earthquake was happening (later I heard it was a sonic boom) since we are on the San Andreas...but the sky flashed like three or four times, so I stopped and looked out my driver\'s window and saw a massive fireball, probably as big asas the \"Science on Sphere\" globe and it has a a glowing tail. The mass seemed to be breaking up. I stopped the car, but wasn\'t fast enough to see where it was going. I drove to Inverness (4 miles) and was telling some folks at a coffee shop when the cops rolled in and I asked them if they saw it and they said no. But as I was telling them they started getting 911 calls about it from Stinson Beach 15 miles away! |
