         The Minor Planet Electronic Circulars contain information on unusual
             minor planets, routine data on comets and natural satellites,
             and occasional editorial announcements.  They are published
        on behalf of Division F of the International Astronomical Union by the

         D. Rankin detected a fast moving object in images taken at Mt. Lemmon
    Survey (G96). The observations triggered a warning of an imminent impact. 
    Seven observatories were able to observe the sub-meter object before it 
    impacted the Earth's atmosphere on Nov. 19 at approximately 08:27 UTC over 
    Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
