I have footage of the fireball and subsequent car damage on my
website. The direct link to the movie is

The event
referred to below was "Peekskill", not Peeksville. Do
a search with "google" for the Peekskill Fireball or
Peekskill Meteorite for more details. I have nothing on the 1907
fireball event but a search with google might turn something
up.

Hello KCStarguy@aol.com,
In reference to your comment:
?
In Ripley's Believe it or not a book for kids there was
?
this : On Oct 9, 1992 a Michelle Knapp of Peeksville,
?
NY found that a a big meteorite hit her truck/car which
?
landed with a foul smelling odor. She got paid for the
?
"meteorite tricking car" and also got $50,000 for the
?
Meteorite!
I believe this is the story from Upstate NY. I live in NYC, and saw
the car at the Museum of Natural History. The meteorite went right
through the trunk, and made a hole in the ground! The car was
totalled.
I never heard of the 1907 story.
