Re: [meteorite-list] Most confirmed falls in a year?
Interesting and informative responses. Like Mr. Lyon said, I would think the modern world would provide for increased detection and recovery rates. But Rob makes some very good points about the outdoor-culture of the world in the 1930's compared to now. Light pollution is also a factor for visual detection. So, 1933 is the reigning champion. We have come relatively close a couple of times, and I would expect that record will be broken in the coming yearsor will it stand for 100 years or more? For those keeping track, the number of classified/confirmed falls since the year 2000 : 2023 : zero, but four are pending. 2022 : 5 (six if you count "Junction City" GA which is still a pending classification) 2021 : 8 2020 : 13 2019 : 8 2018 : 14 2017 : 8 2016 : 12 2015 : 9 2014 : 7 2013 : 8 2012 : 10 2011 : 7 2010 : 7 2009 : 8 2008 : 11 2007 : 9 2006 : 6 2005 : ZERO (one, if you count "Montney" Canada, which was recovered, not classified) 2004 : 7 2003 : 9 2002 : 9 2001 : 5 2000 : 4 184 total classified falls since Jan 01, 2000. Average of 8 per year between 2000 and 2022. There have been 9 years with above average falls during that time. Source : Meteoritical Bulletin and the Galactic Stone "Recent Falls" page.

Re: [meteorite-list] Most confirmed falls in a year?
Hi Mark – in 1933, people spent more time outdoors than they do today (and, probably less important, they enjoyed much darker night skies). I expect that the annual rate of meteorite-producing falls has remained about constant over the last century, with year-to-year variations consistent with Poisson statistics. With improved technology (weather satellites, all-sky cameras, dashcams, ring cameras, Doppler radar, etc.), the odds of successful recovery of a given witnessed fall improves, but that factor may not be enough to counter the (likely) decrease in witnessed events (particularly daytime events). Remember that bolides with the greatest chance of producing rocks on the ground fall between local noon and midnight – from meteoroids that are “catching” up to the earth from behind and thus have slower average entry velocities than those occurring between midnight and noon. In the 1930s, a greater fraction of the population were outdoors from 8 am to 8 pm – a 12-hour time window when 64% of meteorite falls occur (based on Met. Bulletin data from 1860-2017). Of course, there are a lot more people in 2023 than in 1933, but most of those outdoors during the day are likely driving or staring at their phones (or both). --Rob From: Meteorite-list On Behalf Of Mark Lyon via Meteorite-list Sent: Monday, March 20, 2023 7:29 AM To: Frank Cressy Cc: Finbarr Connolly ; Meteorite List Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [meteorite-list] Most confirmed falls in a year?
