Signatures of falling meteorites appear in data from the KBUF radar outside Buffalo, NY. This meteoroid entered the atmosphere at a shallow angle (22 degrees below horizontal) producing a very long strewn field. Because of this, the strewn field is presented as the landing sites of the various meteorite signatures detected instead of a simplified color bar.
Meteorites from this event landed in Lake Ontario near the shore, in water less than ~70 ft deep.
