About 50 people contacted the American Meteor Society on Thursday with reports of a "green fireball" lighting up the Southern California sky. An authentic photo surfaced Friday afternoon capturing the bright light seen by dozens of sky watchers. Sightings were reported in Ventura, Anaheim, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Paso Robles, San Francisco and Santa Barbara, according to the group's website. The sightings come days after Bay Area residents were treated to a light show of their own when a fireball was seen streaking across the sky. Another fireball sighting was reported this month in Florida, but the most spectacular celestial event occurred when a meteor soared over Russia before the rock slammed into Earth's surface, sending shockwaves across a widespread area.
