Duration: 10 sec.
No of observers: 1

Location: Hesperia, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

A bright blue object that streaked across the southern sky from east to west.

I was indoors and happened to catch it pass to the south of my location through a large picture wiindow. It was traveling from east to west at a high speed. The color of the object was blue and it had a tail behind it. My guess is that it was a large meteor that I witnessed. No sound since I was indoors at the time. And I couldn't see if it looked like it impacted on the ground either. Kind of unusual to see a large meteor like that this time of the year. Haven't heard of any scheduled showers to be seen. Could be like what was reported over Colorado recently. If you are interested in hearing about a sighting that occurred on 08/17/69 over the San Fernando Valley of California then pleaase let me know and I will post it here. That sighting of seven large orange colored objects in formation was definitely much closer and had some very strange aspects to it. I witnessed it along with about six other persons. At the time, we did report it to the Air Force and all they said was, "We don't know what they are."
