An authentic photo surfaced Friday afternoon capturing the bright light seen by dozens of Southern California sky watchers.
About 50 people contacted the American Meteor Society on Thursday with reports of a “green fireball” lighting up the sky. Sightings were reported in Ventura, Anaheim, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Paso Robles, San Francisco and Santa Barbara, according to the group’s website [2].
Photographer Susan Lary of the Southern California Weather Authority captured the so-called fireball and provided the image to NBC News.
Lary’s photograph (pictured, above [3]) was taken with a 1-minute exposure in Lancaster, Calif., facing southwest.
