The only timed event that I can think of that was accurately timed was
the Shoemaker-Levy
comet impact on Jupiter.
Yeah, but that's an entirely different sort of parent than anything
we've seen on Earth, since it was fragmented into a long chain of
components _before_ it encountered Jupiter's atmosphere. AFAIK no
meteorites are associated with bodies that were fragmented in space, and
only a few meteors have been observed that appear to be from such
bodies.

Robert,

This is something I never gave any thought to. Good Luck!!
