Roughly 15 minutes ago I saw several very bright flashes in the sky through a west-facing window here in Monticello, Wisconsin. A nearby amateur astronomer acquaintance emailed to report that she had seen a bright "red and green" fireball transit the western horizon just below a local treeline. There was no perceptible sonic boom here.
I do not yet have estimated azimuth or elevation estimates, nor do I know whether the track was right-to-left or left-to-right from the observer's viewpoint. There was no perceptible sonic boom here. Given the extraordinary brightness of this event, however, I suspect there may be a new fall some distance to the west."

New Hampshire Fireball 13?APR2010 "At 8:15 this evening while driving home from work I saw the most amazing thing. I was driving down Gilford Avenue, admiring one very bright star slightly off to my right. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement, and shifted my eyes to the left where there was a huge fireball falling out of the sky. Now I've spent countless hundreds of hours watching the night sky, and I've seen literally thousands of meteor showers. I've also seen fireballs race across the sky, but never have I seen one fall out of the sky. The closest thing I could think of to describe it would be perhaps a single ember of a firework as it fell from it's zenith, only this was very large. It also left a sort of smoke-trail behind itself, also very similar to the way a firework would leave one. That trail lasted a good sixty seconds or so before it finally dissipated." posted by Pepper http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9710

The member of the International Astronomical society Evgenie Dmitriev has drawn a conclusion that falling кометного a meteorite here took place. However an official science кометные meteorites yet do not admit.
In 1990 inhabitants of settlement Chukreevka have seen flying bright object of orange color which has fallen on edge of village in I shall dig hay and has caused its fire. But, strange business, the roar was not heard by anybody. Eyewitnesses described the falling which have arrived on a place, that in radius of 15 m all blazed fire, however on a place of the ashes, except for burnt ground, Slags and the pumices which have covered the ground on 30 m around, have found nothing. The crater on a place of falling was absent, only weak trace and a rut has been swept up. Within several next years on a place of falling unusual growth of a grass up to 1-1,5 human growth was marked.

Damage to target rocks during impact cratering
Oslo, Norway
Workshop: June 6-8, 2010
Field Trip: June 9-11, 2010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEETING LOCATION AND DATE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workshop will be arranged at PGP (Physics of Geological Processes)
http://lux.uio.no/pgp/
,
June 6-8, 2010, with an immediately following excursion to the Ritland
impact structure, southwestern Norway on June 9-11.
Please, be aware that June is high touristic season in Oslo, and it can
be difficult to find (inexpensive) housing. Make your bookings as early
as possible!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCIENTIFIC FORMAT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workshop will be organized in plenary sessions of presentations that
focus on:
1. Distribution and characterisation of rock damage measured in specific
craters
2. The process of rock failure itself - how do current models
incorporate rock mechanics and what are the pros and cons of different
methods?
3. Meso-/micro scale damage e.g. shatter cones (length scale meters),
planar deformation features, broken crystals, and pore space destruction
4. Local scale - fracture-fragmentation zone near crater-origin
5. Regional scale - the influence of pre-existing fault patterns on the
crater shape
6. The relationship between fragmentation of rocks in the vicinity of
impact craters and their observed geophysical signature.
We intend to have oral presentations and workshop/discussion sessions.
The detailed program will be announced later.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
