21FEB2013 Jasmine Brown los angeles, ca, U.S 2235 7 secs WEST Went from Orange to bright Blue heading straight down, couldn't har sound Bright Blue The piece itself looked as though it was off of something It went so fast, I was pulling out of the parallel driving spot to head for work, I turned and went the other way in case it hit the ground.  I've seen a few fly across but this was heading straight to the ground without disappearing in mid-air

21FEB2013 Nick Bishop Sacrament, California, United Stated Approx 2250 2 Seconds Was looking south in a vehicle. Meteor started at approx 165 degrees and moved nearly directly vertically downwards. Maybe 5 degrees of horizontal movement to the west. Green (Exact color of burning copper)  with orange/red debris trailing behind that rapidly (<1/4 second) burnt out Brighter then Sun less then moon, Yes. Very rapid movement, hard to judge size but it seemed to be quite small. Object totally disintegrated before reaching the horizon.

21FEB2013 Joe Fresno, CA  USA 22:31 PST 3 seconds. I was driving, traveling west.  I was looking forward, but something suddenly caught the corner of my eye out my driver's side window, which was facing outward south. The meteor appeared to be coming from the east/southeast, headed west/northwest. Fluorescent green, no noise. As bright as the moon. Didn't appear to be. Long tail. Very large object, equivalent to approximately 1/6 the size of the moon.
