Examiner Staff Report

A bright light streaked across the sky shortly before dawn Monday,

startling early-risers from Santa Barbara to Marin County.

A spokesman for the state Office of Emergency Services said numerous

calls reported the light to local law enforcement agencies along the

coast and throughout much of the San Joaquin Valley, beginning about

5 a.m

He said it was probably a meteor, since meteors are often seen at this

time of year and a check of the Vandenberg Air Force Base along the coast

showed that no rockets or flares had been fired.

The light was reported in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Fresno

and Tulare.

Susan Thomson of Novato reported seeing the light, which she described as the

size of a softball, traveling in a west to easterly direction as she drove by

Lucas Valley Road on Highway 101 at 5:12 a.m.

She said it "was bright, lasted about 45 seconds and appeared to be

accompanied by a flash of lightning."
