There was a VERY BRIGHT light I saw going down to the ground a bit aways from me. And apparently people all over the bay are and even central valley have seen it.
To me it was a very bright white with blue tinge. -Shelia Davis

My husband and I saw what we think was a large, white meteor, with brightness like the moon, in the northeastern sky, moving from south to north, in a downward arc, lasting approximately four seconds at around 9:30 p.m. PST, June 18, 2011. We are in Roseville, CA.
