Hi All, I have created a page on my Strewnify website, for the recent fall in France: https://www.strewnify.com/y20230213_02z_31u/ As others said, one find has been confirmed, estimated at 100 grams and found near Saint-Pierre-le-Viger in Normany, by the Vigie Ciel / FRIPON team.
I have very high confidence in my search area prediction, since the trajectory was derived by two independent sources (UKMON and IAU MPC) and the wind data is good. My simulation input data is attached. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy Hunting, Jim Goodall Strewnify.com +1 586 709 5888
