By caviat, meteoroids yet to fall or be seen, whether to be seen to fall or
not, could be referred to as non-observed-non-falls... :~)

No doubt a slow day on the List.....

Yes, of course all meteorites fell on Earth therefore they are 'falls'! When
many people are infected with this extended 'fall' flu, the best medicine
for a cure can only be administered by humor...

Dr. Greg is in the house! ;-)

Every single meteorite ever found on Earth is necessarily the result of
a fall, they are not native to Earth. The only difference is that some
falls are seen, witnessed, and some, the vast majoriry, are not.

So calling them Observed or Unobserved falls is logical. That is what
happened to all of them.
That is simple reality.

   An "unobserved fall" is two words to describe the one word that has
been used for a century, "Find". The one word "Find" is good enough for
the Catalogue of Meteorites, it was good enough for Harvey Nininger,
and it is what I shall always use. Keep it concise.
