Observer
NameEdward M
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI have watched several metoerite showers over the years and have never seen one fireball with my own eyes. Unless it was on TV or in a video. I was in my front yard in San Bernardino, Ca and it looked like it was somewhere above Yucaipa or Calemesa, Ca. If that is a once in a lifetime experience, then that is something I will never forget.
