I’ve never had much luck seeing meteors in my 75 year life, but last night (12/11/18) about ten, I was looking up towards Orion and Sirius when I saw a wonderful one. Started white, then turned yellow>orange>brown and disappeared. Thought it was a rocket burn out from Vandenburg AFB, California, at first, as it seemed to be heading away from there, but then I read this article and a check revealed no planned launches. Seen from 4,000 feet from the Tehachapi, Ca. region.
