Physics of falling objects

An argument developed off topic in the Malaysian thread about the physics of falling objects. It was off topic so was mostly deleted.

I and one other were taken to task by Skipness One Echo and others for stating that objects of the same size but different densities (eg a basketball and an identical one filled with concrete) would not hit the ground at the same time, dropped from say 35000 feet in an atmosphere.

Discuss.
