Hello Matteo, Mike Farmer and List, I don't think that pieces of this meteorite-dropping fireball came down as far south as Zurich. Of special interest are those eyewitness reports that did not only see light phenomena but also heard a thunderclap or something like a rolling of thunder. Assuming these eyewitness reports are reliable, there was a light rolling of thunder to be heard at Überlingen (Lake Constance/Bodensee), but at Stockach (about 15 km to the west) a very definite and loud thunder (said to have lasted ca. 10-25 seconds according to that eyewitness) was perceived. Such reports about sound phenomena reach as far north as Pfullingen/Tuttlingen.
My guess is that pieces may have come down west of a line Überlingen - Stockach - Tuttlingen but east of Waldshut - Neustadt. Somewhere within a triangle Schaffhausen - Bonndorf - Engen! No, no time to go there because it is our 40th wedding anniversary and we are on our way to a nice little restaurant downtown :-) Ciao, Bernd ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
