Video of California Daytime Fireball Surfaces
by Nancy Atkinson on May 31, 2012
 
Video footage has finally surfaced of the daytime fireball that illuminated the  sky over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California back in April.  NASA and the  SETI Institute had asked the public to submit any amateur photos or video  footage of the event, and previously a just few photos were taken of the event,  even though it happened in broad daylight and created sonic booms that were  heard over a wide area, back on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 7:51 a.m. PDT.  A few  weeks later, Shon Bollock, who was making a time-lapse kayaking video just  outside Kernville, California realized he had captured the bolide streaking  through the air. This video shows the event several times, successively zooming  in for a closer look.  According to NASA it is the only footage of the meteor  thus far.
