 Field said the meteor could have been either metal or rock and was
 probably as big a a car. A rock meteor would have broken up as it 
 came through the atmosphere and broken into a shower of stones, he 
 said He said that throughout the world about one meteor falls to 
 Earth each week. 
  >>

This would seem to greatly conflict with the rates stated in Norton's book 
"Rocks From Space" of an estimated 24,000 meteorite dropping fireballs/year 
worldwide in the 4 oz to 20 lb range?
