Resumen:
A bright fireball was observed at noon, on June 19, 2010in north of Rio de Janeiro and south of Espirito Santo state(Brazil). After detonations a whistling sound of the stonefalling was perceived by a farmer, about 17 km from Varre-Sai (RJ) and 8 km from Guaçui (ES). Due to the meteoritedivulgation program sponsored by Faperj and CNPq onBrazilian schools, the Museu Nacional was contacted. Atleast five masses (total ∼2.5 kg) were recovered in the nextdays at both states. The name Varre-Sai was proposed to theNomCom as the first piece was recovered in the RJ State.Most of the stones are fusion crusted with the exposedinterior surfaces light gray with few dark shock veins.
