25 years ago: 1984

A fireball of a meteorite exploded over the Mid-South early yesterday,
rattling windows and panicking some residents, said Ray Shubinski,
director of the Pink Palace Planetarium. Museum officials, in
conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution, are gathering information
about the pre-dawn meteorite, Shubinski said, that could help locate
pieces of it. Shubinski said the fireball was sighted across the Memphis
area and as far away as Greenville, Miss. SOURCE:

Is this the Maryville meteorite, or was this one never found?
