I noticed a news report dated 13th of December about a possible meteorite fall in Kozan, Adana, a central-southern city of Turkey. Apparently, there is no video footage of the alleged fall but there is a video interview that a well-known Turkish news agency made with the related people. Event seems authentic to me.
The agency's own English news text of the event (_http://en.cihan.com.tr/en/turkish-woman-finds-meteorite-in-garden-1965867.htm):
What mostly attracted my interest in the event is that black ellipsoid stone shown in the video and pictures (attached photos taken from the Turkish pages of the agency's news report). It is a relatively big one I think. I think it is interesting that sometimes these things can fall relatively silently or without a striking explosion or something.
And, you must be remembering the videotaped event in which a meteorite missed a parachutist? That stone was not in fire (at least not visibly, as far as I remember) and neither did it appear black in color.
It seems that there are many different states in which such objects fall from the sky or from the outer space.

The English version of the news report was probably prepared a bit carelessly because it misrepresents what is explained in their own interview footage in Turkish. As accurately explained in the Turkish version of the same news report (also in some other alternative Turkish news reports on it), a neighbor's son comes and tells a Mrs Aydoğan that he saw a burning object that fell from the sky to Aydoğan's garden. The woman does not care about it at first but after she watches some news reports about meteorite falls on TV (probably those about the event that occurred in another Turkish city a few months ago, which subsequently became popular in Turkey due to a NASA interest in it and to the fact that several local people were claimed to have gained a good deal of money by selling the meteorite pieces they found), she decides to check her garden and upon noticing some burnt plants in the garden, she finds the peculiar stone.
