[meteorite-list] Meteorite Fall observed - Natchez MS 27 April 2022

[Fries, Marc D. (JSC-XI211)]

A remarkable meteorite fall has occurred east of Natchez MS.  This event was widely reported in media because loud sonic booms were reported over a wide area.  This was a daytime fireball and a single video (as far as I know) has emerged on Twitter.

Weather radar records a nearly vertical column of falling meteorites, seen in at least eleven radar sweeps in at least four separate radars.

It is currently the front page item for the NASA Meteorite Falls page.  At present no meteorites have been recovered to my knowledge, but I assign a high certainty that meteorites have fallen.

Cheers,
Marc Fries
