[meteorite-list] Was the Carancas meteorite Spinning?

If a large meteorite is spinning fast, having large ruff surface area, Can 
this cause the meteor to curve, when coming in contact with the atmosphere, 
like a curve ball in Baseball.

Can a spinning meteor explain the difference in the Carancas meteorite 
original trajectory and impact orientation, and can the spin help protect 
the stone from atmospheric pressure braking it up.

Is this Possible?

Thanks for you time.
