there's also Sterlitamak, a 1990 fall in Russia that left a 10-m crater:

If the criteria includes "probably" witnessed falls... then wouldn't the winner
be Canyon Diablo at 1200m diameter and 215m depth from the rim? Ode

Wabar may well be a witnessed fall. It also produced a 13-m crater.

Right, but I don't believe that Campo del Cielo is noted as a
witnessed fall. If we're going to start listing every crater

The only
Rubin de Celis crater of the Campo del Cielo strewn field is a real crater
- 0.04 km dia with a raised rim. - see Passc Website.

The only accepted witnessed falls that have led to the formation of
legitimate craters are Carancas
Yo,
Sikhote-Alin, the largest crater at 26m in diameter.
Only two meteorites are ever known to have created real craters upon
falling; Carancas and Sikhote-Alin.
Carancas' crater measures in at 13m.
I suppose falls like Gao could have been larger in mass than Caracas,
but I don't know if we even ha

What is the Largest "Fall" known, and what was the size of the crater made?
