Subject: [meteorite-list] Large Fireball observed over Central Germany


> Hello list,
>
> this morning between 06:30 and 06:37 local time more than 600 people
called the authorities in the Mainz / Bingen / Hunsrueck / Eifel area,
reporting strange lightning in various colours, visible for at least 8
seconds. At this time the area was mostly cloudy, but two eyewitnesses
claimed they saw what seemed to be a "meteor trail" in a cloudless part of
the sky. Another person from the city of Mainz reported a series of sonic
booms some 60 seconds after the lightning had vanished. The coluors of
lightning were described as intense blue and green. Most people stated that
they had never witnessed anything alike before, not even in the two
worldwars, as one 98 year old eyewitness underlined.

> Radio stations continue to report about the incidence, but until now,
information ist still to sparsely to draw any conclusions concerning a
possible trajectory. Since I live quite close I might take a day day off and
drive out to interview some witnesses.
