If you have ever seen a UFO, you never forget it, or stop thinking about it. It isn't like any other event. Because of the implications, a UFO, especially a strange one, can haunt you; if you saw it at night, add more luminance and strangeness. If you have had an encounter, the drive to find out everything about your sighting: "who else saw it, and what did they see? What was it? Where exactly did it happen?" etc., can be compelling.
But the first thing I wanted to establish was where we sighted it, so I dialed-up Google Earth. After some triangulation, I came up with coordinates. Below is the areal map:

Notice the markings. The point near the power line tower is where we saw the fireball stop and burn up. I cannot be completely be sure that it actually stopped, but it appeared to. Why did it stop? This area is just north of the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area. As you can see, the 605 Freeway snakes down within yards of the UFO area. This is a very well traversed freeway at all hours-being part of the L.A. area freeway system. The point is, at least scores of people on the freeway would have had to have seen the fireball hovering above them. Where are these people? This was a vision from Hell that was close to the ground, close to homes and stables and close to us!
