Varre-Sai L5 (S4, W0) Fall, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil • June 19, 2010
At about 21:00 UT (around noon local time) on June 19, 2010, a bright fireball was observed over the eastern side of Brazil. Mr. Germano, who lives at the border of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, heard several explosions and saw two black objects falling. One ~600 g stone fell about 15 m from him. Early the next day, he found another piece beneath a banana tree. The site of the fall belongs to the city of Varre-sai. The precise location is about 17 km from Varre-Sai (Rio de Janeiro state) and only 8 km from Guaçui (Espírito Santo state). Five masses with a total weight of about 2.5 kg were recovered. Most stones are partly to fully fusion crusted. Broken and cut surfaces show a light gray color with a few black shock veins.
