Meteorite explodes over north Groningen
Wednesday 14 October 2009

Hundreds of people report seeing a spectacular fireball or meteorite
over the Netherlands in Tuesday's clear evening skies.

The police emergency number, Dutch coastguard and KNMI weather bureau
report dozens of phone calls about the meteorite, which was seen in
Germany and Belgium.

'I was standing in front of my window when there was a bright flash of
light and a white fireball in the sky fell apart into three smaller
ones,' eyewitness Erik Alberts from Zuidbroek in Groningen province
told Nos tv. 'Like fireworks. A few seconds later, perhaps half a
minute, there was a low rumble and the windows shook.'
