We also saw the meteor a letter writer described recently.

We were returning to Lompoc from Santa Maria on Highway 1. We spotted the fireball just as we crossed San Antonio Creek Road.

As we drove up the grade, it traveled from left to right until out of sight, as we neared the top of the hill. It seemed like it was visible for a full 180 degrees in our field of view.

We marveled that it was big enough to keep burning all that time and distance. We speculated whether it hit land or could have ended in the ocean.

We, too, expected to hear someone else and the news outlets talk about it.
