Return buck to Meteorite List
A meteorite came from the north-north-west sky to a private house parking lot that is 1 km east of the coast.
The house owner found the broken meteorite in the crashed car trunk the tomorrow morning.
The fireball fragmentation broken into two pieces was witnessed by some persons.
But the recovered meteorite surface did not suggest fragmentation at low altitudes.
Another meteorite would fall near the area and that is equivalent mass of recovered meteorite.
