Flaming baseball sized object fell quietly from the dark sky; flamed out at 20 feet above water.

From my 5th floor patio, I looked up just to see a flaming baseball sized shape quietly fall and flame out about 20 feet above the water before it hit in the water. I did not hear any sizzle. It was a small object and quietly landed in the water. The wind is causing mild ripples across the water and from our distance, it was not possible to detect an impact ripple.

NUFORC Note:

Several reports of this incident. Probable meteor? PD
