I agree Darryl, but only if you assume that he saw the fireball hit the water. Which the report does not say.

In fact the report states "...he didn't hear the boom, only a whistling roar as the object flew past..." which tells me the object was NOT traveling at super sonic speeds or high enough speed to be incandescent.

It does NOT say a fireball hit the water.

so, Chris, is it "not a chance" or "he saw the fireball drop below the
horizon" ??
Kind of  confusing...<<

I think this guy only had 3 chances of being able to see a meteor hit close by in the water, at a speed it should be traveling to keep incandescence
present and without any sonic booms...Fat, None and no  Chance. :O)
