Bigger and badder bolides

Over Canada last week:

September 25 bolide over Ontario


Over the Netherlands this week:

Netherlands Fireball, from the Planetary Society

Over India 65 million years or so ago:

Giant Impact Near India -- Not Mexico -- May Have Doomed Dinosaurs

Actual paper abstract: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONTEMPORANEOUS SHIVA IMPACT STRUCTURE AND DECCAN VOLCANISM AT THE KT BOUNDARY

Neither the article nor the abstract indicate how they date the impact to around the time of the K/T boundary. Anybody know?
