Greetings all

        Rob Matson has found a good candidate for a meteorite fall, related
to the bright meteor over Quebec, Canada on 22 Sep 2012 (UTC). The
radar signature is a linear feature seen in multiple radar sweeps on a
single radar at relatively long range. It appears at the right time
and location to correspond with eyewitness and video records of the
event, and features several of the known signatures for a meteorite
fall event. The fact that the observation was made at long range (~150
km from the radar) introduces some uncertainty as to its
identification as a meteorite fall, but there is sufficient evidence
to suggest that that is what it is. The location appears to be mostly
farmland and wooded but relatively flat terrain.
