Fireball over Canyon Lake, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was with a friend at a taco truck with several other customers who witnessed this . A giant golden fireball streak came down from the southern skies,it was massive. It continued for a very long time then broke into 3 seperate fireballs all side by side. Then at the same time all 3 broke from freefall & went in complete different directions, one went up! They all started just cruising around not in freefall anymore. Absolute insanity for everyone who witnessed- we were all in awe

Canyon Lake, CA

Saw a long faint line traveling from northwest to southeast. Due to darkness was unable to estimate altitude. At first thought it was a banner tow rig but there was no noise. As it proceeded to the southeast, I saw a plane pass under it. It took about 45 seconds to cover approximately 40 degrees of sky.
