approx 10=15 sec from left to right facing west Bright white flaring out into 5 bright blue streaks Bright as the moon solid white until just before it flared out 5 bright blue streaks Appeared to be a meteor but was huge in diameter!16 SEP 2012 Rick Lambert Half Moon Bay, CA 22:45:00
5 sec East Blue/White. Single loud sonic boom followed approx. 10 min later. Moon N/A Saw several flashes in the sky off the coast, two decent flashes followed by a bright one that lit half the sky. About 10 min. later, a sharp sonic boom was heard from the same direction.
It sure seems that a lot is hitting Northern Hemisphere higher latitudes. Look at the headlines in this column. ALL OF THEM!
Just a thought. This likely gives clues on the overall direction of this mini swarm of "meteors"/"bolides."

I'm aware how the N. Hem. has greater populations, land masses, and, importantly, more communications, but that doesn't mean the above is an invalid observation.
