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).
