Meteor Streaks Across California Sky

On November 18th, at around 5:30 PM, a fireball streaked across the sky in central California. The object traveled from east to west and broke up into several pieces. The meteor was seen in the Sacramento area, from Modesto to Lincoln. A meteor sighting, probably the same one, was also reported across the San Francisco Bay area at about the same time. Since the Taurids are waning now, this most likely was a meteor that was associated with the Leonids.
