Re: Fireball at 5:11 pm over SF Bay

I saw this smoke trail up at Fremont peak last night as it was geting dark. I thought it was the trail of a rocket launch.

Amazingly, my wife and I viewed it just a few minutes after watching a striking green flash over the ocean on the beach at Pajaro Dunes! A smoking zig-zag trail lingered in the western sky until it became dark. As the sky darkened, the long smoke trail seemed to take on an electric blue hue with brighter knots.

the weather guy on the KSBW-8 news (monterey/santacruz/salinas) just mentioned the Taurids, said they've been getting a LOT of calls about streaks, there have been a lot of bolides in this storm.
