Hello,

Peekskill is not your conventional event:

At 7:48 P.M. a greenish fireball brighter than the full moon appeared
over Kentucky and traveled in a near-grazing trajectory of only 3.4° for
more than 700 km in a north-northeasterly direction for at least 40
seconds, finally landing in Peekskill, New York. A sonic boom was heard
as it
fragmented into over 70 pieces, one of which impacted the trunk of a red
Malibu coupe on 207 Wells St., the home of Michelle Knapp.
