Last night at 8:47pm PST, myself and a friend witnessed a large blue
fireball while star gazing on Mt. Laguna at an altitude of 6000ft. It became
visible at 75 degree up from North/ Northwest horizon and became an intense
blue-white fireball with sparks of light at 30 degrees then disappeared. It
appeared to radiate from the constellation Cepheus. It appeared to be about
a -2 magnitude, brighter than Sirius. Did anyone else see it?
