A good sized meteor hit the Earth on February 6, 2016. It landed 600 miles east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. By the time it reached the ocean it was too small to cause any trouble. The problem is that no one saw it coming.
But we have an extensive paparazzi, maybe someone caught it on camera. Let's see what Google can find.
Nope, that's not it.
This one is the right date, but the wrong hemisphere.
Nope.
So, meteors everyday, all the time. Keeping an eye on them is problematic, especially if we can't even see them coming.

Update April 2017 replaced missing picture.
