Europe Fireball Breaks into Meteorites; ESA Probes Koblenz Roof Impact

The European Space Agency is investigating a weekend fireball that lit up skies across Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, which broke apart into meteorites and punched a football-sized hole in a Koblenz, Germany home; no injuries were reported. ESA's planetary defence team is analyzing data on the object, thought to be a few metres wide, noting that such objects strike Earth periodically and are often not seen by telescopic surveys.
