On June 24, 1938 a meteorite fell in the vicinity of Chicora, Pennsylvania. Named the "Chicora Meteor", the 450+ tonne meteor exploded approximately twelve miles above the Earth's surface. Only two fragments of the meteorite were found following initial investigations. They had masses 242g and 61g, and were discovered some miles short of the calculated point of impact of the main mass - which is yet to be found. Two more small fragments were found nearby in 1940.

Numerous reports of the Chicora Meteor mention that a cow was struck and injured by a falling stone; other accounts say that the cow was in fact killed by the stone.

The meteor was an olivine-hypersthene chondrite. Its remains were split between the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution.

The sound and light of the exploding meteor were initially mistaken for an explosion in the powder magazine at West Winfield, and was compared by investigators FW Preston, EP Henderson and James R Randolph as comparable to with the Halifax explosion of 1917 in destructive power. "If it had landed on Pittsburgh there would have been few survivors", they stated.

Entry pg. 143 - - Chicora, Butler County, Pennsylvania, USA / Fall / LL6
"The mass fell some miles short of the calculated point of impact and the main mass may yet be found.  From the smoke and energy considerations the total mass is calculated to be 519 tons."

Initial Report-
20JUN2014 Hussun and Ren Marina del Rey, Ca. USA 2200 ish 10-13 seconds SE to NW I was facing NW and Ren was facing SE.We both caught it just as it went over our heads. It was an amazing brilliant Green. White light in central part but a green glow around the ball of it with a very very long tail. No sound whatsoever. Very bright! Thought for a moment it may have been a flare. no fragments. Very long tail and brilliant green glow around the ball part with a bright white light in central part of it. Tail had a orangish flame that fizzled out as it went across sky. It was very low to the ground. Was lower than airplanes fly in sky. It was amazing!
