>From what I can translate the Secretary of the Astronomy Society of Argentina said that the meteor was " ..the size of a fist traveling from West to East at an altitude of 100 kilometers..."

It was visible over several hundred square miles. This area has a lot of nice flat accessible farm land and beaucoup people, so if it were larger and produced any meteorites we will hear about it.
