fireball A bright fireball was seen traveling in a SE direction (57 deg) throughout northern and central california, with reports of sonic booms and the ground shaking. A video of the fireball was obtained at the Yuba City's Sentinel camera by the late Larry R. Stange. Robert Ward triangulated the eye witness accounts putting the fall area 20 miles from the nearest road in a remote area. A single stone was picked up by a hiker, Ben Deutsch, near Red Canyon Lake (+38° 8.245'N, 119° 445.487' W), Tuolumne County, California, shortly after the fireball event.

San Juan Capistrano San Juan Capistrano. Fall. 1973 March15, between midnight and 4 am PST. Meteorite type: H6, ordinary chondrite. Two specimens with a total mass of 56g were recovered. Location: 33°29'05''N, 117°39'45''W. The largest piece, 50.5g, penetrated the aluminum sheeting roof of a carport in a mobile-home park and was picked up on the carport floor several hours later. The second smaller fragment, 5.5g was discovered about one month after the fall in the gutter of the carport roof. Source: Meteoritical Bulletin 53, p. 138-139; R. C. Finkel, D. Lal, K. Marti (1973).

Ivanpah Dry Lake - Found on 2014 January 1st by Joe Franske; Ordinary chondrite (H4); from MB#104: A smooth, well-rounded 1128g stone was found in two pieces about 40 feet apart. Both halves are covered in fresh, black fusion crust. Comments: A second stone was found in the vicinity that is likely paired.; info submitted by Larry Atkins. (There is no data for this "second stone"!? The fact of the matter is: there were at least 3 other stones found at this vicinity prior to the Joe Franske finds! [pers. comm. Ted Bunch])
