Reports Report 736a (Event 736-2008)

Observer
Name Jason B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving North on San Francisquito Cyn. Rd. I saw it briefly as it disappeared behind a mountain range. There were many witnesses. The L.A. times had an article about it. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jul/02/local/me-fireball2 I am surprised to see that it wasn't reported on your site. I was very exited about it at the time and I spent the next couple of days online, finding other witness reports. I read that an airline pilot over Nevada saw it as well.
