In addition to the 17 witnessed falls worldwide for 1933, that year also had
two others that are possible falls, Elton, Texas and Willard (b) New Mexico.

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
