but offers no further information on the sighting.
The case is identified elsewhere, such as nicap,

who also believe that 1951 is the correct date but no further information appears available.
As for the report itself, can a meteor fall vertically?

Archivist's Notes: Second Page says Project Twinkle Final Report authored by L. Elterman on 27 November 1951 and approved by P.H. Wyckoff, Chief, Atmospheric Physics Laboratory though there is no signature on the line provided. This appears to be a title page. The first page is a very brief entry quoted here verbatim.
