Observer
NameJames Y
Experience Level1/5
RemarksI saw something like this over Malibu many years ago and called it in (maybe to Cal Tech?) and I was told that I was probably seeing a “basketball-sized meteor”… so when I saw this tonight I totally knew it was the same kind of thing. I’m glad my dashcam caught it this time.
