Meteorites are cold as they land, though. The heated part burns off on the way down. The inner part is just barely warming from single digit Kelvin temps

I don’t know. I mentioned it to Darksheare because he’s involved in ballistics and lives in the Northeast :-).

Not from artillery, I can tell you that much.
I can think of ways of making ‘cast iron’ appear, but none of them are plausible in this scenario.
(Thermite reaction being one, but that’s highly implausible.)

It’s not even from Gerald Bull’s HARP project.

A piece of warm metal the size of a brick came crashing through the roof just steps from where he was standing. It splintered a wooden beam and crashed into a shelf.
Jack dropped it to see what would happen.

Hard theorized a liquid metal cooled electromagnetic drive for an aircraft a long time ago, but I highly doubt such even exists.

I’d go with thermite, but there is no mention of a bright flash in the sky.
Kinda hard to miss an aerial thermite reaction.
