Hello Jeff, hello List,

"Something happened in week 18 of 2013 (end of April), and thousands of 
  people looked at Sikhote-Alin. This was about 7 weeks after the fall of 
 Chelyabinsk. I don't know what it triggered this."

One possible explanation may be that people hoped they would find
background info (brightness, altitude, velocity, inclination, radiated
energy, total impact energy, terminal speed on impact, etc., etc.) that
they could compare with Chelyabinsk parameters!

Best wishes,
13 minutes till midnight!
