Large fireball sighting

At 5:45 a.m.(PST), I was traveling northbound on I-5 when I witnessed a large, bright yellow fireball, with blue edges, shooting across the sky. I was unable to distinguish its distance from me because it appeared out of nowhere and vanished within about 5 seconds.

NUFORC Note:

Probable meteor. Many other reports. PD
