Hello, list,

anybody have information about the meteorites known from
"April - May Fireballs"? Several books and sites list these, and
also tell there are some meteorites from these bolides, but canīt
find any specific information, which they may be and the type
of them.
If anyone on the list could advice, that would be highly appreciated.

thank you in advance,

pekka

April 15 The April Fireballs

>From April 15 to April 30, several prominent fireballs will be seen. These
April Fireballs have no known radiant, thus they have no constellation
designation. The meteors are very, very bright and long lasting, and seem to
originate somewhere in the southeast sky. Look for these fireballs late in
the night, preferably after the moon has set. Several of these meteors have
been known to reach the ground as meteorites.

Position of Radiant: Between the right ascension 20h and 24h, declination
near ecliptic, but erratic.
