    When did you take these photos (how many minutes after you saw the meteorite?)

    The first was light flash from window. After about 38 secs was exploding sound - shockwave. In this moment we moved outside, and first what I made - this photos. So it was about 1,5 minutes since light flash, and near 1 minutes from time when I heard (and felt XD) shockwave. Old fallen building I photographed after about 2 hours since accident, because it situated far away from univercity (near 6 km).

    >4 meters across

     

    NASA estimates say that the meteor's mass was around 10,000 tons (9071.85 metric tonnes)...which really makes a 4 meter estimate sort of a joke.
