California Meteor 16APR2011

Squaw (Olympic valley), CA Blue Meteor 9:41 pm 16APR2011
Bright Blue round object fell from the sky at Squaw (Olympic valley), CA. The time was 9:41 pm. The object was falling very controlled and slow, but I only saw it for about 3 seconds when it went behind a mountain. It was a vibrant blue, had no tail, flames, or smoke. It was round in shape, and was falling like a leaf floats down from a tree. Thanks -Jenn P.

I was in Berkeley, CA and driving east. It fell from the sky, looked like it was above the hills in the east. -Jacinda

I am fairly certain I witnessed this event from Fairfield,CA. It was bright blue, though from my perspective in Fairfield I can't say it was round, rather it was just a qucik streak of blue light falling and apeared to last less than three seconds. I saw it near the east horizon at roughly 9:41 which is what compels me to think this is the same event.

We saw it as we were driving South into Reno on HWY 395. We had an unobstructed view for about 6 seconds as it crossed the sky from West to East. I had searched the RGJ for any news, nothing to be found. It was large, bright, bluish, and moving VERY quickly across the horizon.

We saw it in Palmdale, Ca. My bf pulled over - he saw the tail, I caught the end of it (before it went behind a mountain?) kind of a slow blue to orange light like it was passing between clouds. He saw it for several seconds - maybe 10-15. Thanks for confirming all - we were wondering with the air force base so close to us what it was.

I live in Visalia, CA @ about 9:45 in the North-Eastern sky I saw it from right to left - changing colors from yellow - red - green and then blue - it was moving at a steady rate - I know it was travelling fast but when you see it live in looks like it is in slow motion - sky was clear - best one I've seen to date

april 16, 2011 about 830pm,I saw a fireball in the sky, I thought it was a helicopter on fire, as it crossed the sky, flames were falling down, then, it was like it just burnt out..I am in Long Beach, ca. It was so bright,so close, I saw our local police helicopter flying to it, I assume they saw it also.
