| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Antoinette D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very large (seemed similar to the size of an airplane) and was flying from East to West, the way the planes sometimes come into LAX, I was driving South on Pacific Coast Highway and saw this huge explosion and it broke up and had a trail of light trailing behind it...I pulled over to see if I could see where this would have crashed into the ocean, but couldn't see anything, so I thought it was a meteor and it was confirmed by the other media reported sightings at that same time...WOW!!! I have seen many shooting stars in my life and this was by far BIGGER than anything I have ever seen! |
