The data doesn't cover the last few years, but that's largely irrelevant here. Notable is that the most common size of a meteorite is 4-8 kg, with a fairly even distribution around that mark, and without having run the numbers, I'd estimate that about 3/5 of all meteorites that fall in the US are 8 kg or less. You are looking at a few dozen meteorites at most, over some 200 years or so, which might meet your criteria for size. Far less than one per year! | |
