If you are offended by the things I say, imagine the stuff I hold back.

Is this the one that blew up over Russia?

The two biggies (the big boom over Russia and the close-but-not-to-worry flyby of 2012 DA14) were from different directions. The former was traveling east to west and the latter was traveling south to north. Orbital mechanics being what it is, these two object cannot be related. I haven't looked into the fireball over California, so I don't know if it was related to either of the biggies. Here's a simulation of the Russian event that also shows it in relation to 2012 DA14: http://blogs.agi.com/agi/2013/02/15/russian-meteor...
