Eyes, as in eye-witness. Sorry. I would, however, be impressed if you
were sitting at a radar console and saw the signal in real time!

Depends on whether you're relying on an old-fashioned or new-fangled definition to the phrase "witnessed to fall". I
haven't seen any falls with my own eyes, but I've "seen" 5-6 meteorite falls on weather radar within minutes or hours
of each fall. Sutter's Mill, Mifflin, Grimsby, Lorton, "Ash Creek", and now what appears to be a new fall in Nevada.
That last one is particularly relevant - I believe based on my experience with other falls that I "see" meteorites that
fell only a few days ago, but as of the time of this writing no one has actually "seen" meteorites first-hand (or at
least reported it yet).
Cheers,

Who out there is the luckiest person when it comes to being in the right place
at the right time? How many recovered meteorite falls have you (A) witnessed to
fall or (B) have fallen within, say, 30 km of your location at the time of
fall? My fall number (A+B) is a pathetic 0+1=1. I wonder what the record is
in each category and for the total?
