[Thomas Österberg]

Dear list,

According to the Danish newspaper Politiken, meteorite fragments from the 
January 17 fireball, has recently been recovered in Denmark.



The fireball was seen (and video documented) from a large portion of 
southern Sweden and Denmark. The exact location is not revealed, but the 
strewn field is said to be about 10*20 km and located near the small town 
Maribo, on the Danish island Lolland.



Also according to Politiken, a German meteorite collector, Thomas Grau, has 
found the fragments. Grau has apparently spent many hours in his search of 
this meteorite.





Thanks and regards

Thomas Österberg
