The mistake made here is that there is *no connection*
between the bolide and the 'meteowrong' found in the
garden: The witness of the bolide somehow felt that it
must have impacted very close to her -
a common error reported in the literature for at least
100 years.
In fact she was not even close to the actual
trajectory ...

See http://www.meteoros.de/news/news20.htm
for some background (only in German, sorry).

At
<http://www.BerlinOnline.de/aktuelles/berliner_zeitung/wissenschaft/.html/133814.html>
(German again, sorry) you can find a quite detailled
story about the Munich geologist who at first
misidentified the Zolling meteor-wrong and how he
eventually found out what it really was (a piece of a
road).
