Remarks this meteor looked like a shooting star except much bigger, much brighter, much slower, and very low to ground! i thought it was interesting that within a couple minutes after i saw fireball, i saw 3 helicopters headed in the general direction. they were coming from north orange county headed south . the fireball was south of mission viejo, it could of been over sandiego. but the helicopters, probably were nothing, but was weird to me
