A rare daylight #fireball coming with a loud bang was seen and heard Tuesday morning over the U.S. and Ohio in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHBjApk3d6w - see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/ for links to many more reports. And https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/events/windfall-oh says: "Signatures of falling meteorites are seen in data from three weather radars [...] NASA Meteoroid Environment Office finds that this was a 2m diameter object weighing around 6 metric tons - more of a small asteroid than a large meteoroid. [...] There are meteorites on the ground around Windfall, OH towards River Styx, OH."

Significant #fireball over Germany this evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQFVOHSBGDw. Many visual reports, too: https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2026/1467

It seems likely that a bright #fireball on the morning of the 12th dropped #meteorites in #Bavaria, says the Czech analysis https://meteor.asu.cas.cz/cz/post/bolid_2026_02_12/ based on data from special cameras: the body came in slowly and at a very shallow angle, so the potential strewnfield is huge and thus a systematic search not viable, and one can only hope for discoveries by chance.
