Fireball seen blazing across the skies in Ventura, Ca.

At approximately 11:30-11:50PM, a fireball, like a meteor or possibly space junk flew across the horizon, fairly low on the horizon, above the ocean in Ventura. Witnesses were watching the night sky over southern facing beaches, and the fast moving object fired off, moving in a northwesterly direction. It was much larger and lower than a garden variety shooting star and brought to mind the large fireball seen fly across Southern California that flew into the ocean off the San Diego coast in 1994.
