I started binge watching at the beginning again and at the beginning of the episode The Star, they all stand up when the see the star go shooting by like it was really something.
I have seen a falling star, but it was a ways in the distance. I would not have been able to find it when it hit.

There was so much wrong with that episode that you can't even consider physics when you watch it. From the size of the meteorite, it wouldn't have just punched a hole in the roof. It would very likely have levelled the house. The sisters would have been no more. And it's doubtful that John could have carried it home by himself in a cardboard box.
Oh, and the kids would not have been surprised as if they had never seen one before. Meteors were and are quite common.
So, after I eliminate reality and physics entirely, I can safely say I have seen many, many meteors, but I've never seen a meteorite.
(They're meteors before they hit the ground. They're meteorites after they hit.)

I made a post about about this episode a few years back. And I made the observation that given how close it landed to the "Recipe Machine", it's a wonder that it didn't cause an explosion. |

Thanks for the link. I posted a response there so I won't repeat it here. Just know that your suppositions were correct. Neither the Baldwin sisters nor the house should have, theoretically, survived the meteor strike.

^ It's worth the effort to get out of the city to watch a meteor shower when you can see several of them within a minute.

I live in the country so I have seen many falling stars & a few meteor showers.

In 6th grade choir, we sang 'Catch a Falling Star and Put in Your Pocket' in our school concert.

I have been to locations far enough from city lights to observe falling stars (meteors) that are quite vivid in the autumn & winter evening sky. ^ I grew up with this guy singing it: Perry Como Not knowing much about Mr. Como except that he was a popular singer, his style reminds me a bit like Bing Crosby. Apparently, in his day, he was considered a Pop singer and sold millions of records. Authors of his wikipedia page also noticed a similarity to Bing. |
