Hi Mike, There were a number of bright fireballs in 2005, just nothing recovered from any of them. Among the most notable:
March 12, 2005 ~7:40pm PST - Oregon/Washington area April 24, 2005 ~7:45pm EDT - New England area September 29, 2005 ~7 pm EDT - Florida October 31, 2005 6:30 pm EST - Maryland/Virginia October 31, 2005 9:15 pm EST - Virginia/North Carolina November 14, 2005 ~8:15 pm CST - Texas --Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Galactic Stone & Ironworks Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:02 PM To: Meteorite List Subject: [meteorite-list] 2005 - No Falls? Any promising candidates inhiding? Hi List, According to all authoritative sources, there were no officially recognized meteorite falls in the year 2005. 2005 is the only year in the young 21st century not to have a recognized fall. So, were there ever any promising reports of falls from that year that were never followed-up on, or were overlooked in some way? Or perhaps there was a fall, but is not available to the public or available for classification? Will 2005 go down as a "goose egg" year in the annals of meteorite falls? I know this sounds like a silly topic to bring up in the year 2010, but looking back on the numbers since 2000, 2005 stands out like an anomaly. Best regards and happy huntings, MikeG ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
