Hi All,

Bright white daytime fireball just observed from Seal Beach, CA at
7:15:30pm PDT, starting about 18 degrees above the north-northwest
horizon and terminating about 10 degrees above the horizon. Direction
of travel was roughly toward 7 o'clock in horizon coordinates (6 o'clock
being straight down toward the horizon). No fragmentation was observed.
Magnitude approximately -8, and angular velocity was pretty slow. Exact
azimuth can be reconstructed (once it gets dark enough for stellar
references). Did anyone else in the southern California area observe
it? --Rob
