other eye witnesses:
“We could hear aftershocks for about 3 minutes!”
“Looks like it hit Tuolumne County near Columbia! People are still reporting seeing brown smoke in that area!”
“We are in Glencoe ( Calaveras county ) our house shake”
“South Lake Tahoe- I thought either my propane tank or one of the neighbors exploded. Shook the whole house.”
“Saw the whole thing burn up in the sky right in front of me. I’m at New Melones Reservoir.”
“A friend in So Cal, Corona/Riverside area said he saw it too and it was so close and pretty big in size.”
“It was very loud in the Hwy 50 canyon, shook the house and rumbled for what seemed like a minute after the initial boom.”

Odd. I would have expected a local FReeper to beat any news service.

A large meteorite?

Sounds like it left a good size impact crater, hope it came down away from any well populated area. Is Columbia, CA a town of any size? I don’t recall hearing of it before. Is this well inland, east of Sacramento?

Calaveras CAL FIRE said they received several calls about the lengthy sonic boom and have sent spotter crews out to investigate. Reports of fires in the region came into the department, but Sunday is a permissive burn day, so CAL FIRE is not sure if the fire calls are related to the explosion.

Apparently no known impact crater, explosion was heard from the Bay Area to Tahoe. Meteor was green.

Columbia, CA is mostly a state park with a restored little main street that operates as a Gold Rush era town, with a blacksmith, stagecoach, and gold panning. Not very big at all.

That guy cracks me up. The perma-tan... the hair, which gets crazier with each episode... the insanity. He’s got it all!
