During 2008, IOTA observers in North America recorded observations for about 100 asteroidal occultation events. Of these, three events were notable for producing well-defined profiles as a result of a large number of well-spaced observation sites at each event. Detailed profiles are presented for three events having the most extensive observations: 9 Metis on 2008 September 12, an irregular ellipse measuring 176.1 ± 3.1 x 161.1 ± 10.5 km; 19 Fortuna on 2008 June 18, an irregular ellipse measuring 229.7 ± 1.7 x 193.6 ± 1.7 km; 135 Hertha on 2008 December 11, an irregular ellipse measuring 101.0 ± 2.1 x 59.3 ± 2.1 km.
