Meteorites have now been recovered.
Models suggest a single main mass of around 1kg from the terminal
explosion and multiple small pieces from earlier fragmentation events
along the meteor path.

Apologies for the last message. I misinterpreted the initial predictions
and it does appear to have been heading the other way and AMS has it
terminating near the coast slode to Dieppe and FRIPON even
closer...other
models now showing that indeed it may have dropped material on land.
Good
luck to my friends heading there for a search.

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.

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.
