Picking up on part of what Chis stated: Statistics of "probability" mean nothing in the relm of "possibility". so this is not a valid argument against this being the real thing based on probability alone. Nothing I've seen/read prevents this from being 'bonna fide' video of a falling (soon to be) meteorite.  Be it remembered that secondary fusion crust is often light gray.

Statistically, it was improbable that Michelle Knapp's Malibu would be struck by a meteoroid which entered the atmosphere several states away.  Statistically, a meteorite wouldn't "likely" fall at the edge a green where a golfer was putting.  Statistically a meteorite wouldn't be "likely" to punch through a house in Alabama, bounce off the radio/tv and, exactly strike a woman relining on a sofa.   Statistically all these events are remote, yes-- but not only were they possible they happened and we take their improbability without a blink or a nod.
