Bright meteor fireball accompanied by loud boom streaked over Bay Area, California
Lick observatory reported that a bright meteor fireball was seen streaking across the sky over the Bay Area, California on October 17, 2012 at 7:42 pm local time. They caught it on their security cameras.
The meteor appeared to be slow-moving sporadic fireball meteor and not related to the Orionids meteor shower as our planet shielded the cameras from the view. Some observers reported that a loud boom was associated with the event.
