Bay Area CA Meteor Fireball 21OCT2011

Garlyn H.-San Mateo, CA (near the College of San Mateo)
I was sitting in the backyard reading a book by red headlamp when a white/blue light flashed across the sky (apparently from a SE to NW direction). I had enough time to think "Oooh lig... [lightning] " when a sound like a big explosion occurred. Family in the house heard the noise, as well as across the street neighbor and his son who was in his vehicle exiting highway 92 at West Hillsdale exit.
Looking in southernly direction afterward was unable to see anything suspicious or alarming. No fires. No areas of blackouts. Air traffic into SFO continued and appeared uninterrupted ( NE of my location)
Regarding time & date of event:
I sent myself a text on 10/21/2011 at 2123 stating " flash & explosion. 2 min ago?"
Hope this helps.

At 9:18pm on oct 20 2011 I saw a large round ball with a white tail fall from the sky.  The tail stayed bright for about 30 seconds after the ball disappeared.  It was to large for a falling star but reminded me of that.     thank you Dianna!

This morning 8.8.2011, approximately 5.15, I was driving north in the redondo beach area of Los Angeles when a sequence of multicolored flashing lights appeared to the south west. It was bright enough to illuminate the early morning fog lined sky in a shade of yellow, pink and blue. Seconds later, another sequence appeared, both lasting as long as a few lightning blasts. I live north of long beach and I'm no stranger to industrial light, but this was brighter, more concentrated than ive ever seen, and in colors I can't explain...so there you go.

Additional Confirmation On This Event Needed!

Eyewitnesses Report Fireball Over SO CAL As Bright Enough For Many To Have Seen...~01:00 a.m. PDT 24JUL2011...May Have Also Been Seen In Montebello, CA...

Early Sunday morning on July 24 2011 at around 1am, my wife and I noticed what appeared to be a fireball in the sky. We were heading west on the 210 freeway and the weather was clear. The object in my perspective was lower than an airplane. The object was moving eastward at a consistent speed. I'm pretty sure others saw the object because of the traffic due to road construction. I would really like to know what my wife and I saw... This isn't the first time I've seen something going on in our skies.
Location and time of event: 210 westbound around the city of La Vern California at around 1am. The color was orange like an ember from a fire. It wasn't as bright as a full moon. We would say it was as bright as an airplane light when it is approaching it's landing and the size of it was about the of a UPS truck. There was no fragmentation. Also it wasn't moving that fast. It also seemed to be lower than what an helicopter would be flying. Please keep us informed and thank you for responding back to us!
Please contact me if you have any questions or answers. Thank you.   Thank you Stanley & Mrs. B.! Hope others will report as well.

Anonymous-Near L.A.:
I was driving east on i4 near plant city and at exactly 1:11 a.m. I saw the curious green shooting star. It looked as if it were headed straight for the ground. Kind of strange seeing as how N.A.S.A. JUST shut down. I've never seeing a "shooting star" like that one. It was tilted to the left. Definitely a streak behind it. No noise. Just a very very vibrant green below it. It was almost as if it happened in slow motion. If any info comes up, I'm extremely interested. Thanks!!     thanks for the confirmation! Other reports??? Is it possible this was seen by traffic cams? Let us know!
