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

[Meteorites USA]

I agree Darryl, but only if you assume that he saw the fireball hit the 
water. Which the report does not say.

In fact the report states "...he didn't hear the boom, only a whistling 
roar as the object flew past..." which tells me the object was NOT 
traveling at super sonic speeds or high enough speed to be incandescent.

It does NOT say a fireball hit the water.
