The interesting thing is that the observed fall rates seem to be pretty
contant to me, (with the odd few extra ones every now and again)

If 'increasing meteorite awareness' would result in a net increase then
why isn't that reflected in the figures?

These random samples from benrds figures seem the same sort of spread to
me:
So why no increase in observed falls? Especially given the development
of the media, which should record & report more sightings that would
otherwise have been lost or ignored...
