Falling Ball of Fire on Sand Hill Road 9pm 3/11/09
Driving west{?} on Sand hill Road to hwy 280 I observed what at first I thought was a falling star. It came from the left traveling very fast & at a strange angle across the sky. It was a very large bright colorful ball of fire & became brighter as it passed before me. It had an unusual bright long thick tail & disappeared over the hill. At the next red light I asked the man in the car next to me if he "saw that". He was just as awestruck!
That was an amazing & exciting experience.
ps I don't think that was a star!
((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor?? PD))
