Taft, California: On 11/5/10, at about 7:25 p.m. (PST), a large orange fireball came up from behind the mountains in the west, traveling at a slow speed. Started off as an upside-down teardrop shaped fireball traveling upward then southbound. Got smaller and dimmer, suddenly appeared large again (but not to original size), then suddenly disappeared.
