If you mean, a meteor hit the ground at a glancing angle and bounced - I
thought of that, but has one ever bounced liked that? That big, and so hot
it's crumbly, should have broken up the first time. I googled around
("bouncing meteorite" "bouncing meteor" etc.) and got very little, I did
find a theory to that effect in an old USAF report
http://www.project1947.com/gfb/cap21649.html
but it wasn't an actual mention by astronomers. Usually a "bouncing meteor"
means one that skipped back out of the atmosphere (even rarer is to get back
in after that.) I will look around some more and get back to you.
