About the Fall:

On the morning of February 12, 1947, a massive fireball exploded over Siberia, showering the Sikhote-Alin region with thousands of iron meteorite fragments. The meteorite is believed to have entered Earth’s atmosphere at about 14 km/s and exploded at an altitude of roughly 5.6 kilometers, producing a visible, thunderous airburst and leaving a strewn field filled with craters and iron shrapnel.
