throughout the area.
     Hundreds of distressed residents called police saying they had seen a
huge white bright light plummeting toward the ground.
     A police spokeswoman said many people reported the walls in their homes
shook when the meteorite hit.
     Police were not sure of the exact location of the strike but scientists
confirmed it was a meteorite.

Hello all,

While this article does not refer to the Broken Hill meteorite. The Broken
Hill meteoite, and many other Australian meteorites were FINDS from that
year. It is possible press from this event helped lead to some of these
discoveries. (?)
