It was heading generally eastward over the Channel and was still burning
when it crossed the French shoreline. It is likely to have dropped
meteorites on land.

It was heading from France and terminated it seems just as it reached the
channel so likely everything is in the sea if it did drop anything. Not
seen any predictions that it made landfall in France or the UK. So close
and yet so far.

A small (~1-meter) asteroid that astronomers have been tracking for
several hours earlier today crossed over the English Channel one hour ago
(3:00 UT 13 February) and broke up over the coast of Normandy. Many videos
of it are already appearing on the web. Here’s one taken from Brighton, UK
(south coast of England) looking across the channel toward France:

Should be numerous meteorites on the ground – the meteoroid was at about
40-km altitude at the point it crossed the French coastline north of
Saint-Martin-aux-Buneaux, so nearly all of it should be over land. --Rob
