Yeah seems dodgy to me too. There are plenty of Sea Gulls around wharfs!
Would it be the first to be filmed in any case - Didn't a news crew film a park forest rock hitting the ground? I remember seeing the film footage, the film clearly showed a 'streak' hitting the ground, and was taken accidentally while they were filming some fire trucks.

It would have been falling nearly vertically, subject only to some drift from the wind. If it had still been traveling at 30,000 mph as the article suggests, it would have been way bigger; a huge fireball, sonic booms, all sorts of stuff like that which would hardly have gone unnoticed. And a typical fall, which of course could have been captured on a camera, isn't going to produce an explosion when it hits. I guess the light bulb might have burst, creating something like an explosion. Still, there are just too many things about this story that are problematic.
