2012 Bolide
During the 2012 shower a bolide and sonic boom rattled buildings in California and Nevada around 8AM PDT 22 April 2012. The bolide air burst was likely a random unrelated meteoroid and not a member of the Lyrids shower. The bolide was so bright that witnesses were seeing spots afterward. The event was recorded by two infrasound monitoring stations of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization’s International Monitoring System. The preliminary analysis are indicative of energy yield of approximately 4 kilotons of TNT equivalent. Hiroshima's "Little Boy" had a yield of about 15 kT. The meteoroid was likely between the size of a dish washer and a mini van. The air burst had approximate coordinates of 37.6N, 120.5W. The meteor was picked up by weather radar between Auburn, CA and Placerville, CA. Robert Ward found a small CM chondrite fragment in the Henningsen Lotus Park just west of Coloma, CA on 24 April 2012. The meteorite fall is now known as the Sutter's Mill meteorite.
A similar event was reported in northern Guatemala around 10:22PM 30 April 2012.
