I saw this thing. I'd like to take a minute to recount what I saw.
Me and 15 of my friends. We were all set up in the back of my friend's yard playing music and having a grand ol time. At some point the police showed
up and shut us down. Funny thing, right around when that happened this gigantic red thing goes flying through the sky. Now, I live in Ventura, CA -
the channel islands are right off the coast here and what me and friends remember seeing was a big red meteor looking thing (big red fireball) go
streaking from the northern sky to the southern sky, over the ocean. It did not appear to "take off" from the channel islands, although I could be
wrong. It did APPEAR first in the sky. In fact, it was kind of scary because when it came into view it was big, flaming and red - it appeared to be
arcing right into us, but, after watching it for a minute or two it appeared to just be something streaking over the ocean. Me and all my friends were
pretty well convinced it was a meteor actually. We all thought it was entering the atmosphere and burning up. It never occurred to me that it may be a
rocket. I certainly did not see it launch.
