Perhaps these are dumbquestions, but I am now wondering if:
1 - Were any fires reported at the time of the Sikhote-Alin fall?
2 - Is it possible for a Superbolide to create enough static electric energy
coming through the atmosphere to cause lightning strikes that could in and
of themselves start a fire? Lightning can strike many miles away from a
thunderstorm, so I would think it a possibility if Superbolides could
generate a static charge.
Thanks, and I look forward to some answers.

Hello all, Â I am investigating a case here in Brazil where something has
fallen from the sky and caused fire on a 500 m2 area. Witnesses heared a
loud buzz and soon noticed smoke and fire on a nearby mountain. Some work
have been done on the local by the fire department and nothing was found
related to aircraft or any other kind of device. Does anyone know any
similar case caused by a meteorite? These are not common events related to
meteorite falls. Â Thanks Andre Moutinho IMCA 2731
