[meteorite-list] Suffolk man says he saw meteor hit

>>Not a chance. If he'd seen this a  few minutes after the sky lit up, I 
might 
buy it. I expect he saw the  fireball drop below the horizon, a couple 
hundred miles away. This report is  extremely typical of that.<<

I agree...also this guy claims to have  seen the meteor splash in the water 
near a bridge and him. So it was going fast  enuf to cause it to appear 
incandescent upon impact, but he reports not hearing  any sonic booms, only a 
whistling noise....amazing. The point of retardation  should be in the neighborhood 
of 9,000 mph, so this sucker was traveling pretty  fast based upon this 
witness's account.
