Hi All,

Observed a very bright (mag -12) fireball on my drive home this
evening at 7:50 pm PST (3:50 UT 07 November 2013). Starting
direction was to my east from latitude 33.6879 N, -117.9144 W,
at an elevation of about 25 degrees, and terminus was perhaps
10-15 degrees south of east (azimuth 100-105) at about 10-degree
elevation. Duration was around 3 seconds, and there were multiple
flashes and fragmentation.

Posted my obs to the AMS website a few minutes ago and see that
there are dozens of others who have already done so. My time
should be very accurate as I checked my watch within a few
seconds of the end of the fireball. Call it 7:50:00 pm +/- 30
seconds. This should be easy to find on all-sky cameras, and
if anything survived to the ground it is definitely over land.
I'd guess somewhere east of I-15 and south of I-10.
