Anybody know what happen with the earthquakes last night ?

Can't find any info. KGO reported late last night that many police officers and others saw a huge fireball in the sky and called it in, then moments later the 4.2 jolt/earthquake was felt.

3. But why would ALL the media avoid talking about a meteorite?

No press is covering this at all. Seems just a bit more important than a funeral in the Bahamas to me, as well as some of the other BS sensational human dis-interest stories that are being pumped out.

7. AFAIK, KGO is the only news outlet with the meteorite/sky flash story.

I'm too far away to have seen anything and was a tad busy wondering how high the house would jump at the time, but I think that in the daylight people would have noticed an impact site in Lafayette, especially since the epicenter is not far from a public high school and this isn't a rural area.

2. Perhaps the USGS can be of help?

6. I know about earthquake lightning... the reports that were coming in though...

were reports of something large falling from the sky. In fact it was mentioned that they were looking into aircraft crash possibilities as it was what appeard to be a fireball, and that this happened right BEFORE the earthquake(s).
