Portales Valley was spinning when it fell, so I think that if the body has a
strange angled shape, that it can tumble, or spin while falling, I doubt
that it was zig zagging as in changing directions like they suggest.

Hello Mike and List Members:
 
I have seen my fair share of meteors - and can only once remember one deviating from a straight path.  It had the SLIGHTEST of ziggs to one side about half way through its flight.  This meteor was one of two that were a couple of seconds apart, in parallel paths almost right on top of each other.  These are also the only two meteors I have ever heard - with a distinct "woosh" after they passed.  They left a trail that lingered about for 30 seconds or so.
 
Now in all fairness, this event happened 30 or so years ago.... I do have one witness.  My sister was there with me and remembers the two meteors.  Further details however are lacking in her memory.
