Update on that Mysterious Fireball
The LAist tipster who saw something from his Beverly Hills office window wasn't the only person to see the fireball. While few reports came in the Los Angeles area (the LAFD told LAist there were zero 911 calls), most calls came in from Riverside and San Bernardino counties. A San Bernardino County dispatch supervisor told the LA Times that "fire crews in Barstow and on I-15 near Stateline came up on the radio and reported an object in the sky moving very fast across the northern sky and described it as yellowish green in color with streaks of debris. It looked like it burned up before it hit the ground." The FAA reports no planes missing and officials searching for any sign of impact are not finding anything yet.

I saw something like that a couple of weeks agofrom my Echo Park home. It was at night and it was a pretty big greenish light ball flying through the sky. I was trying to find something on the news about it and then evetually forgot about it...

OMG Me and my friends were in Hollywood out on a large deck and saw the fireball too towards the west. It was bigger than a shooting star. We also found no reports of it too but it was maybe 3 weeks ago? It flew really low in the sky and sorta freaked us all out.

DecafBruin's got it right: it's a marketing ploy for the upcoming "X Files" film.
