[meteorite-list] urban legends and recent meteorites

[chris aubeck]

Dear list,

I have noticed that an increase in alleged meteorite
reports in the last month or two is leading some to
claim all kinds of unlikely things about the state of
the cosmos. 

Can anyone tell me to what extent there has been an
increase in actual fireball-like phenomena in, say,
the last 5 years? Or is this a false impression caused
by wider coverage?

I'd love to know, but find no straightforward sources.

Thanks,

Chris
