Hello Manoj, Matteo, and List,

> There was a fresh meteorite fall in Bhuka village in Sindhari
> District, Rajasthan in India on 26th June 2005... So far only
> one stone weighing 2.5 kg has been recovered.

Thank you, Manoj for letting us know. This would be #2 for the
Rajasthan region. Maybe another Wethersfield, ... who knows ;-)

Wethersfield (1971) L6, 0330 grams
Wethersfield (1982) L6, 2756 grams

Lua, L5, 9241 grams
Pargana Begu
Rajasthan, India
24? 57' N / 075? 09' E
Fall 1926, June 26, 16 hrs

Two stones fell at Lua, one at Dongria, Udaipur State, and one at Dabra,
Indore State, a mile or two distant; the fall was first named Dabra. The
largest stone (8632g) fell at Lua, and 9241g were recovered in all.

So L5 looks like a good bet. Anyone else who would like to place
a bet on the Bhuka meteorite ;-) Back to cleaning up the mess in
our basement :-(

Cheers,

Bernd
