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.
