Bay area should have a view of it from 15 degrees in the northern sky. A fireball that should last ~30 seconds or so...

I missed it too and I was looking for it I barely saw it go down over a house, but my mom managed to see most of it. A couple other folks I told saw it too.

The sac state channel was showing NASA channel footage of what was going on, interesting stuff, showed the capsule coming down with the parachute.

If someone posts a good vid of it, ill link it, but I have no idea which forum to look in
