A meteorite has crashed through the roof of a house in the city of Koblenz in the west of Germany after a spectacular fireball lit up the night sky above western Europe on Sunday evening, March 8.
More than 2,800 sightings of the fireball have been reported to the International Meteor Organization (IMO), with dozens of video recordings having been uploaded on social media. Witnesses reported hearing multiple explosions as the space rock disintegrated in the atmosphere, showering fragments across the western German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
According to available reports, multiple fragments of the meteorite have already been found in Koblenz's Güls district, which will allow researchers to determine where the meteorite came from. Although damage to multiple houses has been reported by German media, no one has been injured in the incident. The largest discovered fragment reportedly pierced a hole the size of a soccer ball into one of the roofs.

Nice!
Iranian meteor.
In other news, a retired USAF expert on UFOs has gone missing.
Coincidence?
I think not!
A girlfriend was sitting in her living room in Phoenix with her husband when a fireball meteor entered between them and exited out the other side of the room. Needless to say, it took a little time for them to react. Would have loved to have seen that insurance report.
That chuck of space debris will buy this families’ retirement.
Quick, New York Times! Blame this on Global Warming!
Oops. I meant blame it on Climate Change.
(I forgot for a moment that they changed it.)

Yes. “Grave national security crisis”
Wish we had more info. You know they know more than saying.
Their government will likely claim ownership of it, sadly.
Then, why say it?
Could be, a chunk that size is probably pretty valuable.
He could be with a sexy Argentine mistress
Will the homeowner get to keep it?
Dear Europe,
“Trans women” are not actually women. Please get rid of your non-binding resolution.

Ach so! Vom Himmel gefallen!

Because it’s fun. They were a great couple. Had a van painted like the Star Trek shuttle.
LOL! That’s as close as one may wish to get to a fast-moving chunk of space debris. 🌠
