Incident date:

1906

Location:

Canada

A witness from the deck of the ship Saint Andrew:
I saw three meteor fell into the water. They raced ahead of the ship one after another at a distance of about five miles. Although it was daylight, they left the red strip in the air from Zenith to horizon.

The third engineer shouted to me. Then I saw a huge meteor falling down the zigzag, less than a mile to the South. We could clearly hear the hissing of water when they touched her. He fell, leaving a wide red stripe on the way.

The meteor weighed several tons and seemed to be a diameter from 10 to 15 feet. It was like a plate. This form probably explains a kind of rocking motion when flying. When the mass of metal struck the water the spray and steam rose to a height of not less than 40 feet, and for a few moments looked like the mouth of the crater. If it was night, the light would have been visible at a distance of 60 miles from the crash site

Original news

“I saw three meteors fall into the water dead ahead of the ship one after another at a distance of about five miles. Although it was daylight, they left a red streak in the air from zenith to the horizon. Simultaneously the third engineer shouted to me. I then saw a huge meteor on the port beam falling in a zigzag manner less than a mile away to the southward. We could distinctly hear the hissing of water as it touched. It fell with a rocking motion leaving a broad red streak in its wake. The meteor must have weighed several tons, and appeared to be 10 to 15 feet in diameter. It was saucer shaped which probably accounted for the peculiar rocking motion. When the mass of metal struck the water the spray and steam rose to a height of at least 40 feet, and for a few moments looked like the mouth of a crater. If it had been night, the meteor would have illuminated the sea for 50 or 60 miles.”

Meteor

Meteor, "shooting star" is a phenomenon that occurs when small meteor bodies (for example, fragments of comets or asteroids) burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. A similar phenomenon of greater intensity (brighter than magnitude -4) it's called a fireball.
