Hi Elton and list,
NASA Goddard Images just tweeted a photo from this event. I
tweeted back "this must be a hoax". I think the odds are slim for it to
be a meteorite but hey, I'm no "Expert". It may be remotely possible I
suppose.
Regards!

Picking up on part of what Chis stated: Statistics of "probability" mean nothing in the
relm of "possibility". so this is not a valid argument against this being the real thing
based on probability alone. Nothing I've seen/read prevents this from being 'bonna fide' video of a
falling (soon to be) meteorite. Be it remembered that secondary fusion crust is often light gray.
Statistically, it was improbable that Michelle Knapp's Malibu would be struck by a meteoroid which
entered the atmosphere several states away. Statistically, a meteorite wouldn't "likely"
fall at the edge a green where a golfer was putting. Statistically a meteorite wouldn't be
"likely" to punch through a house in Alabama, bounce off the radio/tv and, exactly strike
a woman relining on a sofa. Statistically all these events are remote, yes-- but not only were
they possible they happened and we take their improbability without a blink or a nod.
