Hello Ty:

That was actually a Delta II launched from Vandenberg:

Did anyone here see a bolide explode over the Pacific ocean near
Summerland/Santa Barbara on Monday morning, Dec. 14 approximately 6:20 am?
?
I was traveling north on Hwy 101 south of Santa Barbara as a passenger, and
the driver and I saw a glowing fireball trailing thick smoke out of the
driver's window.? She asked me if it was a plane, but then it exploded, the
largest piece was traveling away, still glowing but getting dimmer, and then
it lost all light, and appeared to drop straight down.? There were smaller
pieces visible that left spiral smoke trails away from the main smoke
cloud.? Several cars were stopped a few miles up the road,? and people were
outside watching;? I was hoping someone on the list was a witness, but I
have not seen any reports here.

Sorry about the delayed?post, my previous attempts bounced.

Ty
