One idiot is claiming it came from ground up
Man the lions are out in full force
Humm. Sounds like he got a meteor confused with the rocket that hit flight 800.
(Which was not a rocket but a fuel tank that exploded and squirted av-fuel out of the plane that descended 3000 feet without dispersing and caught fire as the squirt stream hit the ocean (seriously!) and the fire climbed up the squirt with the appearance of a rocket trail back to the plane appearing to cause an explosion in the plane that was already exploding as the result of the initial Spark?)
Or, if the meteor came from over the horizon it may have looked like it was ascending.
He should check with the FBI first, otherwise this should help him;
