[meteorite-list] Fireball sighting over Northern Germany

[Martin Altmann]

Ho list,

a fireball in Germany made it to the larger newspapers, which are in such
respects normally rather reserved.

Shortly combined:

On June 11th in the evening at 10:10 pm a bright fireball with fiery tail
was independently witnessed by several people in several places in Northern
Germany
(Kissenbrück, Peine, Gifhorn (there were the meteorite fair takes place),
Braunschweig, Schöningen, Beierstedt, Salzgitter, Vienenburg).
Scientists from several regional institute believe, that it was a fall of a
meteorite, but are not sure, whether it was a dropper and whether material
made it to the ground. The possible impact area is supposed to be in
Saxony-Anhalt.

Dieter, had the camera network caught the bolide? Was it a dropper?

Buckleboo!
Martin
