Even at terminal velocity it is unlikely that one would "see" it fall. One moment it's not there, the next blink of an eye and it's already on/into the ground.

- supreme_sublime 9y agoSo should it be worded "Did you see it hit the ground?" Edit - or "Were you present when it hit the ground?" I don't know it just seems like splitting hairs.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoCouldn't it still leave a path of illuminated vaporized gas for hundreds of kilometers? Of course the likelihood of having a meteorite fall near enough that you would try searching for it but also being able to actually find the meteorite is extremely small.
