Hi Bjorn and list

I checked the Meteorite Database on-line:

http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/index.php

If you select Falls, and in search text put an *, you will get a list of 
all approved falls up to now. (I recommend to select 2000 lines/page too 
so you see them all in one page)

Last update was 2 Sept 2006

>From the 1201 listed meteorite falls, the most recent I found there are 

Benguerir     Official    2004 Tensift, Morocco  LL6 
Maigatari-Danduma     Official   2004 Zinder, Niger  H5/6  
Orlando     Official    2004 Florida, USA  Eucrite 
Villalbeto de la Peña     Official    2004 Castilla y Leon, Spain  L6

No approved meteorite falls from 2005 and 2006?
