I worked on Lugo bolid of 19 January 1993 (northern Italy) and I saw 
that the best should be to have microbarograph records, and too that 
sismographs work sometime as microbarographs, in my case it was 4 
sismographs, some other instruments for record underground waves and 
other sismograph more distant for a total of 11-12 instruments. Too 
with sismographs distant more of 100 km you should triangulate, but 
remember that you shall have only the point where the meteorite lost 
its cosmic speed, only in case on massif crach (more of 1 tn) you can 
record the impact of meteorites.
Best greetings.
