Several news services are running reports that meteorite fragments
have come down over the town of Viņales, Cuba.
A bright flash was seen over Florida followed by a loud sonic boom over
the Pinar del Rio region of western Cuba.
There are reports of glass being shattered but nobody was injured.
Several images are appearing on the web of rock fragments, some of
which may be from the meteorite.
The meteor was also detected by the GOES-16 Lightning Mapper satellite.

On a personal note, I spent some time in Viņales in 2015 (snapshot below).
A beautiful rural town and the region is famed for its cigar tobacco (snapshot below).
Just east of here are where the Soviet missile launchers were erected
during the Cuban missile crises.
Just as well the meteorite landed today rather than in October 1962,
as otherwise it may have triggered a global nuclear war.
