"It sounded like a legit sonic boom," Jenny Miguel said.
Jenny tells ABC7 she was in bed just before 8 p.m. when she heard the crash happen near her home.
"At first I saw smoke and cops running and grabbing a guy screaming, saying 'no, no, no' and then I hear him saying 'oh I think she's gone, I think she's gone' and I'm confused and I see something on the ground and sadly it was the remains."
