Jodi Hernandez reports on the cosmic close encounter that the earth is experiencing tonight and the real one Russia experienced this morning.
On a day that had a lot of people talking about meteorites and asteroids, a fireball of some sort was seen streaking across the Bay Area skies.
The fireball was seen around 7:45 p.m.
There are reports into the newsroom from people as far north as Fairfield and as far south as Gilroy. It was also seen in Sacramento, Newark, Walnut Creek, and St. Helena.
It was bluish in color and appeared to be heading straight to the ground, according to one viewer in Santa Clara.
"I saw that meteor/fireball over Solano County after spending the day reporting on asteroids and fireballs," said NBC Bay Area reporter Jodi Hernandez.
Candice Guruwaiya told us on Facebook she saw it in San Jose. "I was leaving Safeway on Branham and Snell when I saw it. It looked like it was headed for the Capital Auto Mall area. It was a bright green when it first appeared, then it went to a bright yellow. It was awesome!" Guruwaiya posted.
Gina Johnson also saw it in San Jose. She also posted on our Facebook page that she had just walked out of a Fresh and Easy in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood. "It looked just like the one I saw back in October except it was a little smaller. It was greenish in color just like the one on October. Everyone in the parking lot stopped and looked at it," Johnson posted

Maybe we’ll get a few nights of good sky-watching for meteor showers.
I don't think you know what a comet is.

That is, at least not in a while.
Missed it, dammit.
Odd there was a huge one in russia today as well.
Ya know...
Ya have just ONE massive historical event and they never let ya live it down...
Racists....
In San Francisco, it was fabulous!
Your right. I mean, I do know what a comet is.
I meant bigger than a shooting star.
Whut!?
How many more rocks are up there are coming down? How big are they and where are the headed? I heard there were reports of lights over Burbank last night. Are meteorites fracturing and raining down in various spots in tiny bits?
They think the one that exploded over Russia was part of a meteor shower and not a lone object. Some meteor showers can last as long as 10 days. Lets hope there aren’t more like the Rssian one headed our way.
It rattles my brain.
I’m kinda with you, wipe Sodom out. Why would a conservative live there?
Bastuhd!!! Yuh found us out!
Dang! You beat me to the punch! LOL
Cheers!
Only racists would bring up an astronomical event that happened a few million years ago. It just goes to show you that dispite all the good things Arpaio has done, the stain of our history colors how the other 56 states still see us.
Now if you will excuse me, I noted from the videos yesterday that my ride is here. They won’t let me back into Area 51 after the little misunderstanding we had a while back, so I have to go rejoin my people in Russia...
I dont think the Mayans factored in leap years.
Suppose anyone could be hiding anything from us? Nah. Ill just take my foil hat off and put my hard hat on.
