Argentina said that the meteor was " ..the size of a fist traveling from West to 
East at an altitude of 100 kilometers..." 

It was visible over several hundred square miles. This area has a lot of 
nice flat accessible farm land and beaucoup people, so if it were larger and 
produced any meteorites we will hear about it.
