All,
The tragic US Army copter crash (which left no survivors) was witnessed by fishermen about a mile or two from the crash site. I find it very odd that they would think the copter was brought down by a meteorite????
Quote:
'Rodrigo Alanano, mayor of Dauin town on nearby Negros, said he talked
  with other fishermen who were about one or two miles from the crash
  site.
  "They saw a helicopter in flames in the air, then it exploded as it fell into
  the sea," he said. "They thought it was a meteorite."'
End quote
What a strange conclusion? Perhaps they were drinking?
