NOT Meteor Fireball Event ~9:30 pm PDT 14APR2011
Goleta California 9:25 pm 4-14-2011
Hi, I just came across your blog searching the web just wondering if anyone had seen what I just had. My husband and I saw a bright burning flame ease its way across the sky. It looked like there were flames trailing it it was a bright amber color in the beginning and then as it faded became more white even blue/greenish until it seemingly burnt out leaving our sight with two bright flashes. It did not shoot fast across the sky like most other "Shooting Stars" but rather glided through the air for about 2 whole minutes spanning almost a 180 degree eyeshot. Anyways, it was magical and amazing and I've never seen anything like it, and thought that you people/experts might know more about what it was. viewed in Goleta California 4-14-2011 9:25 pm Thanks!
-Meagan F Thank you Meagan for the first report!
Studio City, CA 19604. Saw it around 9:45pm PDT from Studio City, CA 19604.
Sitting on condo porch looking southward. Watched object travel from West to East. Color appeared to be orangish. Small spherical object in center with a halo of same color favoring the leading edge. No trail otherwise. Watched object for 5 to 7 seconds, then it disappeared in the clouds, but reappeared for 1 or 2 seconds before vanishing entirely.

Port Hueneme, California event 9:30 PM, 14 APRIL 2011
Did not see the event, but my home In Port Hueneme was rock by a sonic boom like explosion. The whole neighborhood came out to the streets to investigate with no visual result. John S.

Bakersfield, CA
I think it was around 9:30pm as I was walking out to my car facing south. I looked up into the sky, and from the West I saw a huge red "star" at first glance. At second glance, it appeared to be MOVING and became a more deep red color. Then it grew a tail that became a little longer over the long seconds. It was slow moving and glided across the sky just south of the moon. My boyfriend and I watched in amazement and tried to record it but our phones were unable to capture it clearly. It was slow moving and began to fade, as did the tail, then disappeared into a cloud. Then there were a few bright glares and it was gone. We thought it was a comet, but we're still not sure. Amazing to witness! -Raianna
Coronado, California 9:25 pm 4/14/11
I was walking around town when i saw an orange object going across the sky with an extremely wide amber/peachish colored trail behind it going from west to east, i only saw it for a brief period of time, it was gone by the time i hit the camera function on my phone, and when it disappeared, a few seconds later it reappeared for a second without the trail and disapeared completely. - Dan Smith

Santa Barbara, CA
Tonight, I witnessed something beautiful.
In the southern sky off the coast of Santa Barbara, CA, an orange ball of light began descending. It was large. So large my body reacted in fear, while my mind reacted in wonder.
It lasted no more than fifteen seconds. Or maybe slighty more, I don't remember.
This thing existed, from the point of view of at least one observer. Confirmation would be nice.

Los Angles, CA
Yes, my fiancee and I were driving into los angeles and I saw a red streak across the sky, i t looked like darth vaders light saber, it was bright, then it looked like plane lights for a second, the the tail came back fatter and cloudier, then it dissaperred and reappered and then finally it was gone, one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the night sky!!!! -Keyonne
Palm Desert, CA
Glad to see I'm not the only one who witnessed this incredible event! I observed what I would describe as a bright orangish red shooting star travel from west to east in the southern sky viewing from my location in Palm Desert, CA the time was 9:28 PM PDST. The object seemed to be moving slower than any meteor I have ever seen, and it seemed to have a plume or glowing field around it. Its trajectory was very horizontal and it dissipated and seemed to reappear a few seconds later in a few red flashes and that was it. - N.T
Santa Barbara, CA
I was walking toward my house north, when I look up over my roof, and I said to myself that a bright colored street light, I took maybe one more step, and came back outside, and I said thats a comet, first one I ever saw. It was a wonderful orange color and it was moving maybe southwest, I called my soon to brother in law, and we watch it together, I wanna say for a minute, but it felt like 10 minutes. It had a long trail, we cross the street, because my street has big trees, and finally it got dimmer and dimmer and disappered. Maybe a half hour ago. Awesome! -Gregory M.

Descanso, Ca
Hello, I came across this site and saw exactly what was described already. I live in Descanso, Ca (San Diego East County). My girlfriend and I both saw a slow moving, amber/redish object with a fading tail behind it. after watching it travel nearly 180 degrees across the sky it disappeared and then seemed to burst into red before disappearing completely. The entire event took nearly two minutes and had no sound. it was nothing like any falling star we have ever seen before! -Ethan

Carlsbad, CA
I live in Carlsbad, around 9:30 pm while walking my dog I saw a bright red and black ball in the sky, to the right of the moon and starting around the middle of the skyline, looked like it was traveling southwest. The red and black ball was surrounded by red/orange/white "flames" (for a lack of a better of describing it) that made a cone line shape around the ball. The ball itself was much larger than a standard airplane in the sky (maybe 5-6 combined) and the flames were incredibly long, I can't accurately describe how long, but it felt like you could play connect the dots with the stars. It lasted maybe 10-15 seconds, seemed to extinguish, then reappeared farther along it's path. The ball was a deeper red, and the flames a darker orange and much shorter in length. It then extinguished completely after maybe 3-5 seconds.
I've read some reports of a boom and shaking thereafter, but didn't hear or feel either. However, it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. -Sasja Tse

Hello, we witnessed the large fireball. We did not see it until it was between the horizon and regulus( around Hyrda). It had 3 trails. In the beginning while it was moving it had no trail, stopped moving when it developed more trails blew up into white flames and disappeared. After it disappeared we thought we saw a red color re-appear then disappear again. If you find the meteorite would you let us look at it? Good luck! -Amanda and Nick

castle park high
Hey, i was looking for pictures of what i witness to one of a lifetime event
after doing my running exercise at castle park high on my way home
something caught my eye on the sky, i did not know what to think at first because i had never seen anything like it my first thought that it was a UFO after i just stood in shook to see that a bright C shaped amber burned the sky across my very eyes after a long 10 second going north to south, i was fasing westward what looked to be a supersonic blast, it dissapeared for two whole seconds reapeared smaller burning then dissapeared on the very sky im glad i could witness what i did not know what was going to happen this very day - Chris F.
Santa Barbara, CA.
Time was from about 9:24 to 9:29 pm. Viewed from Hwy 101N just north of Santa Barbara, CA. Saw large yellow/orange light moving from approximate NNE to SSW. Largish fireball with a large profile and tail turned to bright white with a much smaller profile and thinning white tail to tail-less smaller object then towards the end of the event a white plume/halo appeared to the forefront of the object. Moments later it was all but gone. It left a large, (assuming high altitude) scattered con trail to the NNE as well...

Hello, around 9:25 PM I saw a large fireball heading south/south east.
It was visible for over a minute. It was slow moving and at first I thought it was an airplane that was taking the turn east like other planes just taking off from LAX. Except that it was bright orange. It then headed southeast over land and finally appeared to burn out over the South Bay/Palos Verdes area. Very bright and beautiful. -Jack
Disneyland, CA
Was south in sky. 3/8inch to the eye. Traveled right to left in sky
Had a "C" shape. With the center of the back of the c the head end
Saw orange and red only on the edges of the c. Center was void of colors. Moved very slow. Came in and out of being visible. Glad others saw it. We thought it was a.plane flying backwards.

Creston, CA Not sure how to use your site. Saw the same bright lights described by Megan F in Goleta. My location is in Creston in northern San Luis Obispo County. It moved and brightened/dimmed exactly as she reported. Seemed to be in the sky for at least 1 minute perhaps 2. At first it seemed to be stationery but then, on further looking I think it was always moving from west to east at a slow speed. Appeared to be approximately 20 to 30 degrees above our horizon (we see hills to south so this may not be an accurate measure of its actual angle from our position.) Interesting phenomenon. -Jim M.

935 pst object was south of Disneyland ca, heading SE. Spent a long time as a dimm red object that grew a long orange tail for about 35 secs then slowly grew to a wide white tail that grew pretty bright then popped with a two flashed then dark. Didn't seem to be losing losing velocity nor did it change in path. seemed to cross about 3 inches of sky per 15 seconds.
sometime between 9:20pm-9:25pm (San Diego) I saw what I first thought was a plane because it was moving too slow to be a shooting star.. but then I realized it was totally on fire and looked like it was almost going up from where I was standing. It was brighter than any star in the sky! It seemed like it was there for 10 seconds then it burned out, and re-appeared 2 seconds later. My friend saw it too!
thanks for comments. Meaghan from Goleta CA who posted at 9:25pm April 14 2011, did you hear any sounds, or did anyone else? We live nearby and we turned off the tube because we heard what sounded like fireworks in the distance; they popped rapidly and erratically for a few minutes with some irregular gaps in between. Could it have been naval weapons maneuvers offshore? No one else who saw the event in the sky mentioned that they heard any sounds, but there is no listing online for any fireworks scheduled for tonight locally. thanks
I was traveling on my bike to the Huntington Beach pier when I happened to look up and I saw what looked like an orange light/fireball travelling across the sky. It faded out then shone again before disappearing. I noticed it was about 9:30 p.m., maybe a minute or two earlier than that. I have never seen anything like it! Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed this....Would like to find out more information!
I'm not sure exactly how to use this site, but I found this comment box. I didn't see a meteor, however, I did see two HUGE streaks across the sky just a bit ago that the only thing I can think they may have been caused by is something skimming our atmosphere or something. I can't find any info about it yet though, and I stumbled on this site looking for something about it. Has anyone seen or reported anything? This was maybe 20-30 minutes ago that I saw this.
