At about 7:25 pm local time.

Saw it while driving home on the 5 freway. A bright white light traveling very fast in a northerly direction that winked out after a moment or two.

Tune into Kook to Kook AM tonight.
I am sure they will be all over it.
It is Obviously a recon flight from planet Obama.

I’m in my pajamas just off the 5 about to go to bed. Should I? :)

Was it da blob?

[BenLurkin]

I was in the valley and, yes, it did look like airliner landing lights.

But it was going extremely fast.

[mylife]

Sadly, Jerry never witnessed the event...

[BenLurkin]

Ummmm......

[BunnySlippers]

My home is just off the 5. I am not standing off the 5 with my pajamas blowing in the wind. :)

Just FYI.

Ball lightning?

Sure it wasn’t Michael Moore just lighting one of his farts ?

He lived to post here...so apparently not.

all kinds of stuff enters the atmosphere

[Quix]

Hmmmmm.

Your sense about it?

[concentric circles]

Remember the early morning sonic booms a number of years ago that no one would own up to? North bound over Los Angeles would put it on the same path to a remote Nevada air field. I’m not sure what color is produced by the combustion of methane and that could be further complicated by external combustion on the hyper-cooled surface of the air foil skin. Or it could be a rock.

Glad to know I'm not losing my mind. Was driving on 5N tonight around 7:30pm and saw a huge fireball move quickly across the sky. Was waiting for an explosion or something on the news about it, but nothing. I called my son and told him about it because I've never seen anything like it. Glad to know someone else saw it too.

Sure it wasn’t Michael Moore just lighting one of his farts!

LOL! Good one, DJ!
