In summary, a huge daytime fireball was seen over Israel earlier today (15 Apr 2023). Some people reported hearing a blast. There is at least one meteorite hunter/collector planning to travel from the USA to the Israel region, and there may be a database available for these fireball sightings through the American Meteor Society's website. It is likely that other countries, such as Ukraine, also have databases through the AMS.

Hi V50

the American Meteor Soc. does lots of data collecting from around the world
most probable that there are lists on their site
