Meteoritical Bulletin 109 contains the 2790 meteorites approved by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society in 2020. It includes 17 falls (Al Farciya, Auckland, Cavezzo, Flensburg, Gatuto, Kolang, Mahadeva, Matarka, Narashino, Novo Mesto, Oslo, Saint‐Ouen‐en‐Champagne, Santa Filomena, Tarda, Tiros, Wad Lahteyba, Zhob), with 2336 ordinary chondrites, 131 carbonaceous chondrites (including 8 ungrouped ones), 123 HED achondrites, 41 Martian meteorites, 35 lunar meteorites, 23 iron meteorites, 21 ureilites, 17 primitive achondrites, 13 ungrouped achondrites, 12 mesosiderites, 12 Rumuruti chondrites, 9 enstatite chondrites, 8 pallasites, 4 unclassified meteorites (identified at the surface of Mars), 3 enstatite achondrites, 1 angrite, and 1 ungrouped chondrite. One thousand five hundred and forty‐one are from Antarctica, 763 from Africa, 297 from South America, 127 from Asia, 31 from North America, 11 from Europe, 10 from Oceania, 9 from Mars, and 1 from an unknown location.

On 5th December 2020 at 17:28 UTC, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hayabusa-2 sample return capsule came back to the Earth. It re-entered the atmosphere over South Australia, visible for 53 seconds as a fireball from near the Northern Territory border toward Woomera where it landed in the the Woomera military test range. A scientific observation campaign was planned to observe the optical, seismo-acoustic, radio and high energy particle phenomena associated with the entry of an interplanetary object. A multi-institutional collaboration between Australian and Japanese universities resulted in the deployment of 49 instruments, with a further 13 permanent observation sites. The campaign successfully recorded optical, seismo-acoustic and spectral data for this event which will allow an in depth analysis of the effects produced by interplanetary objects impacting the Earth's atmosphere. This will allow future comparison and insights to be made with natural meteoroid objects.

“…Naturally occurring impact events on Earth may not have trajectories which are known in advance, but their flight paths may be independently reconstructed from photographic evidence (e.g., Devillepoix et al., 2020) or the recovery of fragments. Examples include the Carancas impact which occurred in Peru in 2007 (Le Pichon et al., 2008; Tancredi et al., 2009) and the Chelyabinsk airburst in Russia in 2013 (Borovička et al., 2013).…”
