Large meteor above the north of the Netherlands
Metro and ANP Thursday September 12, 2019
Thursday afternoon a bright meteor was seen above the Netherlands. The phenomenon was caused by a space rock that came into our atmosphere and burned there.
The stone was probably '1 meter to several meters' in diameter, is the first impression of Joost Hartman, chairman of the Working Group Meteors. The stone must have been large, because the light trail in the sky was so bright that it came out above the sunlight.
Trail of light
The fireball could be seen around 2:50 p.m. It was located above the German island of Langeoog, northeast of the province of Groningen. The rock must have been 50 to 100 kilometers above the surface of the earth when it appeared. The work group even received reports from Noord-Brabant, where people could see the light track.
Atmosphere
Most of the rock was probably burned in the atmosphere. A debris as big as "a fist or a football" may have ended up in the North Sea.
