(meteorobs) Fireball for Western Australia

[Arlene Carol]

Hi.. maybe it's all relative...it could be the old 'not seeing the forest
for the trees' adage. I'm not sure. But everytime I hear about a 'large
chunk' of something appearing in the skies, it seems to me that it's in your
neck of the planet!

there must be something psychological going on that I can't identify...why
would it SEEM to me that Australia is more often in the news than anywhere
else? isn't this interesting.

does anyone have stats on this?...which country or region around the globe
most often REPORTS these events. maybe that's it??
