Hello Roman and List,

As Anne is in Tucson, I'll take the bait :-)

Interestingly, there are never more than 2 simultaneous falls per day!


Shergotty - SNC - Fell 1865 Aug 25 - 09:00 hrs
Aumale - L6 - Fell 1865 Aug 25 between 1100-1200 hrs


Tunguska - 1908 Jun 30 - 00:16 hrs (U.T.)
Kagarlyk - L6 - Fell 1908 Jun 30 - 07:00 hrs

Though the date differs by about one day, this pair below is interesting
because it is an L6 with similar Fa values and total iron percentages in
both cases AND because of the time difference of about 11 hours:

Cranganore - L6 - Fell 1917 Jul 03 - 12:45 hrs
Colby - L6 - Fell 1917 Jul 04 - 18:20 hrs
(Wisc.)


Lanzenkirchen - L4 - Fell 1925 Aug 28 - 19:25 hrs
Ellemeet - ADIO - Fell 1925 Aug 28 - 11:30 hrs


Sioux County - AEUC - Fell 1933 Aug 08 - 10:30 hrs
Repeev Khutor - IIF - Fell 1933 Aug 08 - 20:00 hrs


Bogou - IAB - Fell 1962 Aug 14 - 10:00 hrs
São Jose do Rio Preto - H4 - Fell 1962 Aug 14 - 08:00 hrs


Selakopi - H5 - Fell 1939 Sep 26
Glanggang - H5-6 - Fell 1939 Sep 26


Soroti - IRANOM - Fell 1945 Sep 17 - 01:10 hrs
Atoka - L6 - Fell 1945 Sep 17


Beddgelert - H5 - Fell 1949 Sep 21 - 01:47 hrs
Akaba - L6 - Fell - 1949 Sep 21


Manych - LL3.5 - Fell 1951 Oct 20 - 15:30 hrs (Moscow time)
Yambo - H5 - Fell 1951 Oct 20 - 21:00 hrs


Lohawat - AHOW - Fell 1994 Oct 30 - 23:45 hrs (local time)
Devri-Khera - L6 - Fell 1994 Oct 30 - 21:00 hrs (local time)


Another interesting pair - though three days apart:

Kamsagar - L6 - Fell 1902 Nov 12 - 13:00 hrs
Bath Furnace - L6 - Fell 1902 Nov 15 - 18:45 hrs


Best regards,

Bernd
