We describe the circumstances of fall of a 0.5‐kg meteorite that landed in Noblesville, Indiana, USA, 3.6 m in front of two witnesses on 1991 August 31. Provisional assessment of Noblesville as an H chondrite is confirmed by data reported elsewhere which demonstrate that it is a regolith breccia with unusual properties.
