 Well done Paul and Jim, as is par for the course, of course.  :)

But, a special tip of the hat to Mitch Noda and Jesse Piper for the
outstanding article about Japanese meteorites. Well done. That was a
fun and informative read.

Best regards,

[meteorite-list] Most confirmed falls in a year?

[Michael Gilmer via Meteorite-list]

Hi Listees,

I was recently wondering, what year has the most confirmed witnessed falls?

I have been closely following falls since the year 2000, and according
to my records we have a few contenders in recent years. I am thinking
one of these must be the most.

2018 has 15 falls, but two of them are not official (HaH 346, aka
Ghadamis, was classified as a find) and a fall over Pakistan was not
recovered or recorded. This leaves 14 classified falls in a 12 month
period :

Jan 05, 2018 - Matarka (L6 chondrite) : Morocco
Jan 16, 2018 - Hamburg (H4 chondrite) : Michigan USA
Feb 16, 2018 - Ablaketka (H5 chondrite) : Kazakhstan
Apr 19, 2018 - Aba Panu (L3.6 chondrite) : Nigeria
Jun 01, 2018 - Mangui (L6 chondrite) : China (Hammer)
Jun 02, 2018 - Motopi Pan (Howardite) : Botswana
Jun 21, 2018 - Ozerki (L6 chondrite) : Russia
Jul 10, 2018 - Renchen (L5-6 chondrite) : Germany
Jul 26, 2018 - Glendale (L6 chondrite) : Arizona USA
July 27, 2018 - Benenitra (L6 chondrite) : Madagascar
Aug 12-17?, 2018 - "Bhakkar" (unofficial) (ordinary chondrite?) : Pakistan
Aug 21, 2018 - Gueltat Zemmour (L4 chondrite) : Morocco
Aug 26, 2018 - Hammadah al Hamra 346 (L6 chondrite) : Libya (aka "Ghadamis")
Sep 26, 2018 - Komaki (L6 chondrite) : Japan (Hammer)
Oct 28, 2018 - Ksar El Goraane (H5 chondrite) : Morocco
Dec 23, 2018 - Mhabes el Hamra (H4/5 chondrite) : Mauritania

2020 gave us Covid-19 and 13 classified falls :

Jan 01, 2020 - Cavezzo (L5-an chondrite) : Italy
Jan 09, 2020 - Zhob (H3-4 chondrite) : Pakistan (Hammer)
Feb 28, 2020 - Novo Mesto (L5 chondrite) : Slovenia
Apr 1-7, 2020 - Tihigrin (L4 chondrite) : Mali
Apr 24, 2020 - Gatuto (L6 chondrite) : Kenya (Hammer)
May 08, 2020 - Tiros (eucrite-cm) : Brazil
Jun 19, 2020 - Madura Cave (L5 chondrite) : Australia
July 02, 2020 - Narashino (H5 chondrite) : Japan (Hammer)
Aug 01, 2020 - Kolang (CM1/2 chondrite) : Indonesia (Hammer)
Aug 19, 2020 - Santa Filomena (H5-6 chondrite) : Brazil (Hammer)
Aug 25, 2020 - Tarda (C2-ung) : Morocco
Nov 04, 2020 - Djadjarm (L6 chondrite) : Iran
Nov 19, 2020 - Kindberg (L6 chondrite) : Austria

2016 gave us 12 classified falls :

Jan 24, 2016 - Osceola (L6 chondrite) : Florida USA
Feb 06, 2016 - Ejby (H5/6 chondrite) : Denmark (Hammer)
Feb 18, 2016 - Mount Blanco (L5 chondrite) : Texas USA
Mar 06, 2016 - Stubenberg (LL6 chondrite) : Germany/Austria
Mar 20, 2016 - Degtevo (H5 chondrite) : Russia
May 17, 2016 - Hradec Kralove (LL5 chondrite) : Czech Republic
Jun 02, 2016 - Dishchii'bikoh (LL7 chondrite) : Arizona
Aug 24, 2016 - Banma (L5 chondrite) : China
