| Name | Theresa L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second time, in all my years of living in California, seeing a bright fireball in Danville California. The first one was last August 21 around 8:20 and this one was around 9:20 on April 26th. The one in August looked like the size of a basketball this one was not as large as that but larger than a softball with a beautiful long tail each time. Pretty amazing. |
