Reports from Bakersfield say they have seen the object, and some people as far north as Reno have reported sightings. Bob Pippin from the CSN planetarium said the object is either a meteor breaking up on re-entry, or some type of space debris, such as a satellite. McCarran Airport has said it is not a plane or aircraft. The object was too high in the sky to be any sort of aircraft. h/t news3lv
