my money is
on that it was a meteorite reaching below 30 miles above
the earth.
That should be a _meteor_ or _meteoroid_ reaching a low height. No way of
knowing whether such a body produced meteorites or not (although a meteoroid
that breaks up low in the atmosphere is one of the indicators of possible
meteorite formation).

George has some really good points about this but is not able to send to
the list.
Thank you George for typing me (and the list I hope) back.

If the skies were clear and without storms in the area and
the air force is
accurate about none of their planes were in flight at the
time...my money is
on that it was a meteorite reaching below 30 miles above
the earth. This
description is exactly like the one I recorded in 1993 over
Southern California.

P.S. This message will not get posted on the list. For some
reason my
messages don't
get posted and I've learned to live with it mostly as a
lurker. :O)
