Katol, Vidharbha Area, Maharashtra, India Meteorite "Shower" Fall
~ 2:30 pm 22MAY2012
-Meteorites hit building(s).
The Geological Survey India reports:
"A meteorite fall occurred in the Katol area on afternoon of 22MAY2012 with a loud noise heard between 2:00 to 2.30 pm. Meteorites were collected from four localities in and around the Katol city. Samples collected are of stony meteorites with varying size, shape and dimensions with typical dark brown burnt surface. Compositionally these meteorites are dominated by silicates with little iron. There is very good chance of getting meteorite samples from other part of the Vidarbha area between Akola and Nagpur as huge sound with very bright and dazzling light was seen between Akola and Nagpur by many peoples in a stretch of around 150 km in ENE/WSW direction." ...

24MAY2012 Reeves Canberra, ACT, Australia 0544 Australian Eastern Standard Time Approximately 4 or 5 seconds W-E Bright yellow mass about 8mm in diameter with numerous bright yellow fragments tailing behind. The smaller fragments were easily distinguished as individual fragments. The structure was identified in the sky fro 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock position. There was no sound associated with its passage across the sky and no sound suggesting impact with the earth. Brighter than the moon but not as bright as the sun (brightness was closer to that of the sun) Yes. There were many individual fragments in the immediate wake of the main body. They were bright yellow in color. No photo. My wife also seen the mass.

Object appeared to seperate into approximately 8-10 pieces before fizzling out. My location was on Woronora Bridge. Specific location of object was west of bridge. Possibly over township of Menai or further west.

Texas Meteor Fireball 22/23MAY2012
Texas Meteor Fireball late 22MAY2012 / ~00:10 am CDT 23MAY2012
Reports for this/these events are from late 22MAY/ early 23MAY. Reports include sighting of smoke trail and sound. At least one report of the flash made the surroundings as bright as daytime. Perhaps some meteorites survived to the ground?!!!
Anyone else see this; if so please make a sighting report:
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2000/11/meteor-fireball-report-form.html
Initial Reports:
23MAY2012 Autumn Cleburne, TX 00:15:00 7 sec Downward going westward Green Bright Flash like a camera flash Nope It was just coincidental I happened to be looking that way when driving and saw it. It was a very neon green color, it was amasing to see for the short amount of time it happend too. :)
23MAY2012 Sean Round Rock, Texas 00:10 Central ~3 seconds Facing east, left to right Blue/Green color Brightness like the sun, like a welder viewed at a 30ft distance. No fragmentation Seemed to be over North Austin, pulsating light, smoke trail
23MAY2012 Javier Houston, TX USA 00:08:00 5 seconds Facing west White head and some color in the tail; I think I saw green. Almost as bright as the sun. I couldn't see any. It didn't look like any regular meteor I've ever seen. It was the biggest. I thought it was a plane exploding in the sky. I was waiting for the earth to shake. I thought it was the end for us all.
23MAY2012 Ted San Antonio, Texas, United States of America 00:00 hours central standard time 4-5 second S-N; left to right FACING SW white then brilliant lime green bright like a large close proximity firework, brighter than moon no fragments just smoke exciting, no sounds
May 23 2012 @ 12am in san antonio texas i was outside smoking looking into sky talking to a friend when what @ first looked like a falling star got bigger and looked like a fireball as it came from the north falling southeast it lit up the whole sky as it fell it then had a white tail behind then it turned green looked like it exploded as it got closer to ground it looked like it was so close but i doubt it. It was so amazing while it lasted for a about 10 seconds -FBoyd
