Mike- I didn't say that there wasn't a meteorite, or that the boater didn't observe a fall. That may have happened. I was only arguing against a connection between what might have been a fairly ordinary meteorite fall in the sea, and a tsunami or sporadic wave event that I think must be unrel

Hi Chris, Good points. You've convinced me. It was rather exciting to think that a big meteorite was laying in the water off Daytona Beach. So, I am left wondering - 1) what was the object that the witness saw? 2) did the witness actually see anything, or was it an overactive imagination? Co

While we all know now that it is possible for fairly small objects to retain supersonic velocity all the way to the ground (at least, if the "ground" in question is very high above sea level), it is clear that such events are rare, to say the least. Certainly, simulations suggest that objects si

Hi Chris and List, I agree. As the eyewitness account reads, it's impossible for such an object to create a large wave. However, if the account was in error about the size of the object, then perhaps it becomes a little more possible. What about the velocity of the object? Let us suppose that

A meteorite that was 1-3 meters across would make a splash, that's all. A couple of hundred meters away and there'd be virtually no energy left. There's almost no possibility of such an object creating a wave like the one you describe (a tsunami, not a rogue wave). Chris *
