Observer Name Olivia R Experience Level 1/5 Remarks I couldn’t place my location so my calculations may be off. We were on highway 101 by Carrillo hill in Santa Bárbara and think it landed in ocean or Carillo hill. Called 911 to report it because it looked so close and I thought it might start a fire.
