A bright fireball was seen traveling in a SE direction (57 deg) throughout northern and central california, with reports of sonic booms and the ground shaking. A video of the fireball was obtained at the Yuba City's Sentinel camera by the late Larry R. Stange.
Robert Ward triangulated the eye witness accounts putting the fall area 20 miles from the nearest road in a remote area. A single stone was picked up by a hiker, Ben Deutsch, near Red Canyon Lake (+38° 8.245'N, 119° 445.487' W), Tuolumne County, California, shortly
after the fireball event.

San Juan Capistrano. Fall. 1973 March15, between midnight and 4 am PST. Meteorite type: H6, ordinary chondrite. Two specimens with a total mass of 56g were recovered. Location: 33°29'05''N, 117°39'45''W. The largest piece, 50.5g, penetrated
the aluminum sheeting roof of a carport in a mobile-home park and was picked up on the carport floor several hours later. The second smaller
fragment, 5.5g was discovered about one month after the fall in the gutter of the carport roof. Source: Meteoritical Bulletin 53, p. 138-139;

California Meteorite Finds (NOT found on dry lakes)

Source: Meteoritical Bulletin Database

Lake Los Angeles (b) - Ordinary chondrite (classified by UCLA: L6 S4 W1 Fa24.7±0.2); Writeup from MB 103:
A single stone (82 mm × 50 mm × 37 mm) of 177.3grams was found on 2014 January 5th by Stephen Poterala while he was meteorite hunting
along the southeastern edge of an alluvial fan forming a boundary between sand dunes and interdune mud flats.

Lake Los Angeles - Ordinary chondrite (classified by UCLA: H6 S2 W2 Fa18.9±0.4); A single stone fragment (92 mm × 70 mm × 57 mm)
of 444.5grams was found on 2013 November 30th by Stephen Poterala, while searching for meteorites along the margin of Lake Los Angeles
(essentially eroded lacustrine sediments), which is located in very northeastern Los Angeles County. Found in a thin-veneer of sand on a
break-in-slope where the local drainage had eroded-away the distal margin of the southern alluvial fan of Saddleback Butte.

Blackhawk Mountain - Ordinary chondrite (H4 S2 W0 Fa20.9±0.2); A solitary stone (20.16g) was found by Michael Mulgrew on 2012 Oct 20th 12:30pm PDT, while searching for meteorites on the surface of the Blackhawk Landslide (essentially an abandoned alluvial surface), which is located in Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino County. Probably the first meteorite found on a landslide.

Rosamond - Unequilibrated Ordinary Chondrite (LL3); found by Robert Verish on June 9, 2012, while searching for meteorites in an empty lot on the outskirts of the town of Rosamond (Kern County).

Johannesburg - Ordinary chondrite (H4 S2 W5 Fa18.6±0.1 [n=8]); Found by David Libuszowski on 2012 January 27th, while exploring in the Johannesburg area (Kern County) with his dad. The meteorite (a single 63gram stone) was found partially exposed on a sandy slope.; classified by Alan Rubin, UCLA.

San Bernardino Wash - Find 2010. Ordinary chondrite (L5); Bob Perkins of Highland, California found the first and second stones while metal-detecting for gold with Gary Crabtree near the "Rusty Gold Mine," in the Dale Mining District (Riverside County).
Several fragments were subsequently found by Fred Mason, of San Diego, CA.
Note: On 18 April 2012 additional stones were recovered by Robert Verish, of San Diego, California. His first find (343.1g) was a nearly whole, slightly weathered individual stone. The subsequent stones (~650g) were all just a few meters away, forming a 20m wide “splatter zone” comprising ~24 badly weathered fragments, none of which could be physically-paired to the343g stone.
Specimens: 22.1g (3 samples from the initial 10 pieces), 23g (from the 343g stone) and 41g (from the main mass);
Because the 343g stone looks much less weathered, it was micro-probed by A.E. Rubin (classifier, UCLA) and characterized as being, "not only
much less weathered, but also more shocked, slightly more equilibrated, and less chondrule-rich than the other San Bernardino Wash stones".
Nomenclature Committee voted on October 2014 to officially name these additional stones as "San Bernardino Wash".
The above "Note:" will result in changes to the data in the following line items:
Mass (g): 1250
Pieces: >34
Classifier: A.E. Rubin
Type spec mass (g): 86.1
Type spec location: UCLA

Ivanpah Dry Lake - Find: 2014 January 1st. H4. 1128g. (MB#104)
The following is from MetBull#104:
County/Province/State: San Bernardino County, California
Mass (g): 1128
Pieces: 1
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H4 S2 W1 Fa18.4±0.1 [n=12])
History: This stone was found by J. Franske while he was hunting for meteorites on a dry lake bed.
Physical characteristics: This rounded, 1128 g stone was found in two pieces about 40 feet apart. Both halves are covered in fresh, black fusion crust. It would appear the stone broke in half upon impact.
Comments:A second stone was found in the vicinity that is likely paired; submitted by L. Atkins
[Editorial comments: based upon the above information, the entry for Ivanpah Dry Lake in the Met. Bulletin should be revised to reflect the following corrections: Even if you assume that the "both halves" are physically-paired, then "Pieces" should still be changed to "2". If the two halves are indeed "physically-paired" that fact and those words should appear in "Physical characteristics".
The mention in "Comments" of a "second stone" raises many questions. In the past, additional stones "found in the vicinity" and that are only deemed as "likely paired" would qualify for a provisional number assignment. If this "second stone" is actually visually-paired (deemed only by the classifier), then this still raises the question of why this "second stone" isn't reflected in "Pieces".
This is only a recent example of many others, which show the NomCom (in their haste to do away with Provisional numbering) is losing pertinent and valuable recovery data. Ending "provisional numbering" is clearly premature, given that a satisfactory alternative method has yet to be found. If assigning a provisional number is still found to be too distasteful, this doesn't alleviate the need to record pertinent meteorite recovery data. Minimally, we still need to record "mass", "date of find", and the distance to next closest find (in lieu of coordinates).
Otherwise, we will continue to see these examples of pairings based upon the false-assumption of proximity, which is all driven by the desire to avoid assigning a provisional number. This ongoing disinterest in Ordinary Chondrites from North America by the NomCom is creeping throughout the meteorite community, and is most discouraging. ]
