| We saw a bright firball going WNW and it lasted for about a minute and a half befor it burned out and probably landed as a meteorite. We heard it wistle. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. Meteors probably are rarely heard to give off a whistling sound. Usually, they generate a sonic boom, given that during most of the distance they cover in the atmosphere, they cover an hypersonic velocity. PD)) |
