The Paragould meteorite fell at 4:08 A.M. on February 17, 1930. Some observers at St. Louis and an engineer on the train between Topeka and Burlingame, Kansas, thought they saw an airplane falling in flames. After the fireball, other observers heard explosions "like a sharp peal of thunder, or a blast of dynamite."
