==Meteorite fall of January 20, 2023== On January 20, 2023, at 3:38 AM CST, a slow-moving fireball lit up the sky over [[Eastern Oklahoma]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Meteorite Falls |url=https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/events/muskogee-ok-20-jan-2023-0938-utc |publisher=[[NASA]] - Astromaterials Research & Exploration Science |access-date=January 26, 2023}}</ref> An accompanying sonic boom was heard by many witnesses in the Oklahoma cities of [[Bixby, Oklahoma|Bixby]], [[Broken Arrow, Oklahoma|Broken Arrow]], [[Coweta, Oklahoma|Coweta]], [[Wagoner, Oklahoma|Wagoner]] and as far away as [[Fayetteville, Arkansas]]. The resulting shockwave shook houses in the affected area, many people reported. Local television station [[KJRH]] stated, "Multiple surveillance videos captured the meteor's sights and sounds early Friday morning." Numerous videos of the event were later posted to social media. The meteor survived to relatively low altitudes, breaking apart soon thereafter, raining down numerous meteorite fragments that ultimately reached the ground. Meteorite enthusiasts from around the country quickly converged on the [[strewnfield]], which was scientifically determined to be in an around the Muskogee area. Reality television meteorite hunter [[Meteorite Men|Steve Arnold]] told reporter Jeanette Quezada of KJRH, "We're out here hunting…we're finding rocks."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Quezada |first1=Jeanette |title=Meteorite hunter finds pieces of meteor in Muskogee |url=https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/meteorite-hunter-finds-pieces-of-meteor-in-muskogee |access-date=January 26, 2023 |publisher=[[KJRH]] |date=January 23, 2023}}</ref>
