[meteorite-list] Tandem Meteorites and Superimposed Craters- Fact or Fiction?

[Paul H]

Occasionally. I have seen people speculate 
about what are called "tandem meteorites".  
As defined by these people, these are 
meteorites that follow right behind each 
other, and when they impact on Earth, 
they create craters within craters. Is there 
any documented example of a meteorite 
following a meteorite impacting in such 
a way to create superimposed craters 
within craters? What about producing 
a smaller crater within a larger crater
being produced this way?

Is this idea just someone's vivid imagination?
