Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
16AUG2013 Andrew Linga Los Angeles, CA 2347 4 seconds Right to Left / Under it White with yellow "sparkles around it" (Fireball) Like a fireball strand from an artillery shell Small trailing "sparkles" It caught my eye from entering the top of my window down towards behind my neighborhood. I would say it was about a football field away from me. Hopefully it didn't break any cars.

16AUG2013 Christina Corpus Camarillo, Ca USA 2330 PDT 2-4sec East Bright green Like welders torch Yes, trailing like fireworks Absolutely amazing! Largest I've ever seen!

16AUG2013 Park Doing Los Angeles, CA, USA 23:30 Pacific Standard Time 3 sec I was facing North and it looked like it was going from up to down, slightly west predominantly white, green tint, no sound sun yes, a few parts fell off just before it got brightest and flared out about 30 deg off of horizon it got big!

16AUG2013 Alison Yerxa Los Angeles, CA, USA 11;15PM approximately 3 seconds? travelling from west to North east bright white with green glow and red aftertrail, the ball was as large a a quarter of the moon size brighter than moon, like a bright white fire it broke apart at the end, or brightly fizzled out ball of the meteor was very large, I tried to compare it to the moon for size, see above
