I don't know if anyone else has posted this but the whole situation can be summarized as:
One falling meteorite broke at roughly 10000 feet that formed two bolides that almost reached ground level and the loud sounds were debris from the same meteorite that were breaking the sound barrier and were heard above the main area where the bolides made a landfall. My estimations are the meteorite had an unusual shape so all parts broke off and traveled at a slightly different angles. Somehow the two parts that formed the two visible bolides had slower speed than the team of debris overhead that seemed that they were breaking the sound barrier.
Is this normal? Especially for latitudes at UK?

What about it being a larger object upon entry...getting whittled away as it hurtles in, but doesn't airburst, then hits the ground as a much smaller bit of whatever it was?

You talking to me?
If you are mate, you've got your wires well and truly crossed.
I'm backing shauny up all the way.
She stopped what she was doing to take a closer look, she said it was very big and intensely bright, it started moving across the sky, very slowly, in a perfect straight line. She opened the back door and stood looking up at it, it started moving downwards towards the yard, until it actually came directly over head. She said it was pulsing and it had what she described as a "stomach shape thing" attached to it (the actual organ shape of the stomach) at this point.

TextScotland is in the U.K.
i.e.The United Kingdom-Scotland,England,Wales and Northern Ireland
Why do Americans think that the U.K. consists of England only?
