(meteorobs) Chicago fire??

Well this one is a puzzle.

There is an article available on the net about a 22 year veteran fire
fighter researching the three midwest fires of 8 October 1871, all being
attributed to a meteorite or meteor fragments. see
http://www.speak4you.com/mica_calfee/lectures.html

And the following website
http://www2.state.id.us/bdsmitigation/asteroids.html
from the Idaho Bureau of  Disaster Services has a list of "meteor (sic)
impacts" in modern ( recorded history) times.

Also there is a listing of a meteorite fragment being found on the shore
of Lake Huron.   see http://www.angelfire.com/mi2/gfmeteor/evidence.htm

Until some graduate student or a dedicated researcher collects all the
information it is an interesting story.

So the question  -- is the cow a comet?
