On Sunday, March 8, around 6:50 p.m. local time, a brilliant bolide meteor streaked north to south over western Germany and the Netherlands, disintegrating high in the atmosphere with a loud sonic boom.

Thousands reported sightings, and fragments landed around 7:15 p.m., punching a foot-wide hole in a Koblenz residential roof and causing minor property damage in Rhineland-Palatinate's Hunsrück, Eifel, and Koblenz areas, but no injuries occurred.

Authorities confirmed it was a natural asteroid fragment, not aircraft or space junk, while experts now hunt for recoverable pieces amid a surge of emergency calls.

  1. So if this falls in your backyard it’s essentially yours? How much can a piece of asteroid fetch?

    I’ve seen it, from northern France, it had a nice shine from where I was.

    Just the beginning of God smiting the human race for being a cancer to the Earth.
