I checked out the ridge - the only references I found to a "Mad Anne's Ridge" were somewhere in Allegany County, NY, but the only fall within New York that happened within a few decades of the 1960's was the Schenectady meteorite, which fell *nowhere* near Allegany County - or the town of Allegany (not in said county). And that stone fell in 1968.

So either it's a myth or it's unreported.
