A small meter wide meteor entered earths atmosphere over Germany last night causing quite the spectacle.
It is expected that a few fragments may have hit the ground.
Social media is full of videos.

As far as I understand it, this is the second team to find fragments.
Pretty amazing to find bits of space rock that recently entered the atmosphere.
