Duration: 5 - 10 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Daly City, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object

Fireball appeared for 5 seconds

I was taking a picture of the moon in that evening and everything was normal while I was holding my camera and trying to focus my picture. However, just about a couple seconds before I was ready to press the "capture" button, I suddenly saw a fireball showing up on my digital camera's screen and I looked at it staying still above the moon for about 5 to 10 seconds and I immmediately captured it before it disappeared immediately after I pressed the button.

At the first place, I thought it was a reflection of the moon, but I immediately took one more picture of the moon after this one and discovered that everything was normal again.

In case of a follow-up contact, please contact me through mail or email. Thanks!
