Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

Sky watchers in Northern California on Friday reported seeing a bright light in the sky tumbling down. Video taken from El Dorado County showed a bright ball descending from a dark night sky.

Meanwhile, a family’s house in Nevada County, California caught fire after several witnesses described a ball of light descending from the sky.

The preliminary trajectory, however, does not fit the location of the inflamed home — which is located in Nevada County, about 240 km (150 miles) SSE.

Not related to incident

According to a Vincent Perlerin posting at the American Meteor Society: “There are reports in the news that this fireball reached the ground and destroyed a structure near Harry L. Englebright Lake, which is approximately 50 miles north of Sacramento, CA.”

Perlerin adds that, as you can see from the map, “this fireball passed well north of this area and could not possibly be related to this incident. Confirmation from NASA also discounts this story as this fireball totally disintegrated while still well up in the atmosphere.”
