    Location, Stanton CA
    
    118 west 33.8 north (almost exact).
    
    17:43 Pacific time, fireball travelling due east from zenith, or maybe
    a little south of there.
    
    Only saw out a window so only saw ending at about 30 degree elevation.
    
    Brilliant white as bright as an airplane landing light seen head on
    from 10 miles. (I'm familiar with landing patterns at John Wayne).
    
    Definately not a re-entry. Was travelling waaaay too fast. I estimate
    it could have covered the whole sky in 10-15 seconds.
    
    Sorry for off topic but I don't have addresses of anyone to report
    to offhand.
