Just quick update regarding meteors and fireballs from my corner of the world.

We had one stone from sky nearly missed pedestrian in town of Jastrebarsko near Zagreb on 20th of Feb. Unfortunately this was reported only in one tabloid newspaper. Guy from video talks about how this stone fell just in front of him when he was walking down the street.

Meteorite was examined by professor of Geology, who concluded that this is very interesting object shaped by pressure differences. Further tests are needed in order to made definite conclusion about its extraterrestrial origin and possible connection with Russian meteorite.

There are reports, last few days about landslides from different locations in country, latest two cases from Zagreb. Nothing big so far, but some minor damaged roads and railways. Authorities are explaining those events with rapid snow melt and increased rains as cause.
 
It would be good to see a result from further analysis of this meteorite potsherd. The signs of happenings are visible in Croatia, too. There will be more and more of it, obviously.
Salute, Regulattor.
