The first meteor was recorded in April 1857, 156 years ago.
Proof of that meteor is a fragment weighing only 3 grams that is possession of the Geología de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) Geology department of the University of Costa Rica.
That meteorite fell in the province of Heredia. Reports of the day indicate that it was seen over San José as a great fireball that streaked across the sky.
