>>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.
