Hi Mike,

Just to confuse things further, I was mixing up the 18 March St. Thomas
meteor with the more recent (4 May) Codrington, Ontario meteor. The
*Codrington* one was the one east of Toronto that might be on radar.
My thanks to Rob Catlin for correcting me and pointing out that St.
Thomas is obviously west of Toronto.

The St. Thomas fall was on at least 9 different cameras and a pretty
precise 3D trajectory was computed. I don't think as many cameras
recorded the Codrington one. But the Codrington one has a promising
radar hit (Buffalo radar) less than a minute after the event at around
13 km altitude, very close to the intersection of all the witness
reports.

Hi Rob and Mike,

No, I thought I had heard something about a find a while back, but now that I check my emails and records, I was mistaken. I removed the St.
Thomas bolide from the list of meteorite falls. :)

Best regards and Happy Huntings,
