Hello List,

???Well, looks like we should have a pretty good idea where any meteorites might have landed. I mean, after all, the fireball was only " 5 FEET !! " above the house of this woman's mother, AND--- it was only going "60--70" miles per hour!!? Couldn't have gone TOO much farther, right?? ;-)? Another classic case of how little the general public understands the dynamics of a meteor, and how difficult it is to determine how far away a bright light at night might truly be.
