meteoriet

A fireball was widely seen in Belgium and The Netherlands on 11 January 2017, at 17:09 CET, in a bright blue twilight sky. One dashcam movie was obtained in Belgium. The next day, the owners of a house near Broek in Waterland, just north of Amsterdam, noted damage to the roof of a garden shed. They recovered a 0.5 kg stone. After they reported their find to Niek de Kort of the Royal Dutch Astronomy & Meteorology Association (KNVWS), it was identified as a meteorite on 3 February during an on-site visit by the classifiers. The stone was given on temporary loan to Naturalis and 20 g was cut off with permission of the owners for research purposes.
