I think a better way is map what DSP's where in orbit during the period and see if anything thing stands out, like fewer satellites covering america or such, maybe a Brazil is half way between two of them.
Better press release: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news186.htmlInteresting that there is a slight gap above the Amazon, while slightly larger numbers where detected over Siberia and China. Anyone want to go all tinfoil and argue it is because there are no ICBM's in South America and it is not as well covered?
I want to know what they're hiding at the poles, since they're less impacted.

So we can sumise that the Brazillians are in cahoots with the Martians...

I think not.
The researchers used a technique called pyrolysis-FTIR, which rapidly heats the fragments at a rate of 20,000 degrees Celsius per second, and they then measured the gases released. They found that on average, each meteorite was capable of releasing up to 12 percent of the meteorites’ mass as water vapour and 6 percent of the meteorites’ mass as carbon dioxide when entering an atmosphere. They concluded that contributions from individual meteorites were low small and were unlikely to have a significant impact on the atmospheres of planets on their own.

Italy is free too, but I saw with my eys a big fireball bolid in 2009 above the skies of the Emilian flats.....
I just have to add this paper. For their sample, impact are not uniformly random. It seems that they are correlated to Jupiter's perturbations, for example.
