If you've never seen a daytime fireball


I have been fortunate enough to see a daytime fireball once, while driving on a bright afternoon near Baltimore.   But a lot of people haven't.  The link below is to a video featured at Discover Mag online that caught the recent daytime-visible bolide over Californey, of which some pieces have been found, and which has also turned out to be a carbonaceous chondrite.  All very exciting stuff.   (The accompanying music is a bit cheesy, though, even if it is reggae-ish).
