Location: Mariposa, CA
Shape: Fireball
Duration:8 seconds
At 3:30 AM a bright round object moved in a straight line across the northern sky, west to east, not far above the horizon.

My dog was making an unusual barking noise, so I went outside to find out why. I saw a bright round object, somewhat less than half the size of the full moon, traveling in what appeared to be a straight line from west to east in the northern sky not far above the horizon and parallel to it. It moved slowly compared to meteorites I've seen, and it left no trail. It did not blink, change size or color. There was no sound.
