Narrative:

3 1/2 hours after landing, I received a phone call and was told an aircraft struck a car at ruq airport. I informed the officer that it couldn't have been our aircraft because of 3 reasons: first, time frame wasn't the same -- we landed at XA25 local and car was struck at XA35. Second, a constant rate of sink was kept on the complete final approach. (The road is 15 ft lower than runway with approximately 100 ft to end of overrun, overrun is 100 ft and numbers are 150 ft from end of runway.) at no time was power added on final and at no time was aircraft below runway. Speed was reference plus 10 and plus 15 KTS was constant and at no time was there a rate of climb on aircraft. Touchdown was on numbers and normal. 3 witnesses saw landing and 1 pilot type saw approach and estimated we were 30 ft above road. Third, the lady whose car was struck said it was not our aircraft. Damage to her car was light and no evidence of strike on our aircraft, although white scratches were on her roof. Our sabreliner weight was approximately 14000 pounds on landing, vref was 111 KTS, surface dry.
