This is really cool. Fireballs are magnificent to see because they travel
so fast in near earth orbit and whiz on by like a striker in the night.
I saw one just by chance in West Hollywood one night. FM and I were
leaving a nightclub and just as we were getting into the car, I happened to
look up in the sky and see a fireball whiz on by. It was astonishingly
beautiful. The tail was long and red, blue, orange. I called the Los
Angeles Planarian the next day and reported it. Some people in San Diego
saw it also and apparently it landed somewhere off of Mexico in the Pacific
Ocean.
I will never forget it.
