Just over a week ago my wife and I were driving home from dinner and watched a large fireball fall seemingly straight down out of the sky. This was not the standard barely noticable horizontal streak, but rather a FIREBALL with a tail and it went nearly to the ground. It was a pretty amazing sight.
A few nights later I was sitting in my cockpit at night heading northbound just south of the San Francsico area and had just finished telling my first officer about the fireball my wife and I had seen a few nights before, when all of a sudden another bright fireball erupted into the high night sky and began falling rapidly toward earth, all the while getting brighter and brighter! Then, just before it seemed that it was going to impact the ground, it exploded like a firework and faded away. It was a pretty amazing sight and was dam* similar to the one my wife and I had seen just a few nights before.
I wonder if the one we saw was the one caught on the police cruiser's camera. They say it was seen in parts of the Northern US.
