[meteorite-list] Meteorite Fire or Bad Report?

>>METEOR STRIKE MAY HAVE CAUSED PEAT BOG  FIRE NEAR CARLISLE<<

“It all happened in a split second,” said  Paula, 29. “I saw a light, 
like a firework but a lot bigger. It shot across  the sky. It was about 
10pm and it was heading towards Carlisle."

It's  the old, "If its bright enuf to see and cause a fire on the ground, 
then it's  big enuf to find a big hole and hear sonic booms. The sonics are 
something a  witness probably wouldn't have left out with any of their 
reports. Also the  descriptive words of, "It shot across the sky." indicates to me 
they were  describing any meteor seen as to being of cometary origin. Also 
something not  likely to drop a meteorite. 

Again I would give this just three chances  of happening...Fat, Slim and 
No...highly unlikely.  :O)
