Re: [meteorite-list] 15? New Falls in the year 2018 - an apparent bombardment
Greetings, There have been a number of scientific studies on the rates of falls. One is a Canadian study that estimates some 21,000 meteorites one hundred grams or larger fall on the Earth each year. Of those falls, over 3/4 of them land in oceans. This leaves about 5,250 that fall on land. Many of those land in remote areas or in areas where the population of people is low per square mile. With fewer people in an area, increases the probability of detection much less likely. Urban areas or populated areas should detect more falls. In 1933 17 meteorites were seen to fall and recovered, which is .3% of estimated falls. (Earth's population has increased substantially since then) I'm not sure if there has been more since the 17 meteorite falls/recovery since that year. Some times what is recovered and what falls are two different things. Fall ratios on the cosmic scale can be difficult to track since we have only been tracking for about a hundred and twenty years compared to the long term rates on the cosmic scale. While 11 or 15 falls may have been recorded for 2018, these are the falls that were seen to fall in that year and recovered, while an additional three or four thousand fell (on land) and were not recovered and no doubt some were never seen to fall. Only long term studies of falls, over periods of thousands of years would actually tell us that we are in a year with more concentrations of meteoroid streams, that have increased the fall ratio or more of a bombardment. So I would say that last year we were observant to falls than previous years.

[meteorite-list] 15? New Falls in the year 2018 - an apparent bombardment
Curious Fact : With today's new approvals, there are 11 approved falls in the year 2018. That is the most approved falls in a year since I started tracking them. There are also 4 unapproved falls, bringing the putative total to 15 falls in 2018. While there has been a noticeable upstick in recent years of reported falls, this apparent bombardment is the highest total amongst the years I have been tracking between 2000 and 2019.
