Are ya shure? How do you know? Have you conclusively ruled out a common, average, run-of-the-mill, garden variety methane hydrate ejecta-bolide?

Why do you insist on jumping to the conclusion of such technical, far-fetched, complicated explanation rather than simple ordinary natural phenomena? As a student of the Sherlock Holmes school of Occam's Razor, I prefer the MHEB theory.

Can’t argue with the methodology, just the conclusion. MHEB never travels in a straight line.
