Imminent impact (or airburst rather)! According to https://twitter.com/IMOmeteors/status/1748847770612453655 "on anuary 21st, ~00h 32min UT, a small freshly discovered 1-m diameter asteroid, Sar27367 is to enter the Earth atmosphere above North-Eastern Germany (lat. ~ 52.54494°N, lon. ~ 12.52813°E)." See https://twitter.com/Richard_M_F/status/1748846498480087294 for maps of the impact zone!

Here is the predicted (!) #fireball over Germany, recorded by a webcam in Leipzig: https://twitter.com/meteordoc/status/1748868373033746881 - I watched it live on that feed, already (after a case over France, which also dropped meteorites) the second time that I could follow a predicted bright meteor live on a webcam. Modern times these are ...

Even better - the predicted fireball filmed from Berlin which was closer to its track: https://twitter.com/GionniGion/status/1748867372469887421

Visual reports of the predicted German #fireball are now appearing in https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2024/423 and https://meteor.nachtlicht-buehne.de/observations#observation_1153. While photographs are appearing in https://forum.meteoros.de/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61727 - this is a very well documented event, I know of a lot more videos and images. Whether it was a likely meteor dropper is being calculated right now ... we may know more during the day.

And here is the wild astronomical side of the predicted fireball: https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K24/K24B76.html lists all the observations in the sky of the later exploded body - an amazing number; a great network had kicked into action here immediately - which was retroactively catalogued as #asteroid 2024 BX1 prior to hitting the Earth's atmosphere.

Early analysis of the trajectory of 2024 BX1 from videos by the AllSky7 network: https://allsky7.groups.io/g/german/message/5030 - meteorite hunters are already at it, the ground in the predicted strewnfield is snow-covered, so chances aren't bad. Meanwhile here are the Hungarian discovery images of the asteroid, animated: https://twitter.com/sarneczky/status/1749015953650638877. And the 3D animation https://twitter.com/tony873004/status/1748954564995461443 shows first the location of this observatory and then more and more joining the tracking - and then the asteroid coming in.

Haven't seen reports of any meteorites recovered from asteroid 2024 BX1 gone airburst over Germany yet, but at the bottom of https://www.asu.cas.cz/~meteor/bolid/2024_01_21BX1/ you can find a calculated strewnfield in the Havelland based on many video recordings.

These could be the first #meteorites recoved from asteroid #2024BX1 which ended als a #fireball over Germany on 21 January, potentially a rare classe like eucrites: see https://www.facebook.com/filip.nikodem.1/posts/pfbid0283rBwq2MUGKsxj3Gbwu7iJbk5nmAEM24EgncU2PKkTgodBZSn2K1x4WwNDnp7epFl and https://www.facebook.com/groups/593985647396079/posts/7091903967604182/ and https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=7614197031924440 for more.

At least three more search teams have reported success today finding meteorites from the #2024BX1 fireball, namely https://www.facebook.com/groups/meteoriteclub/posts/10160853832341620/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/meteoriteclub/posts/10160853913911620/ and https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en/press/press-releases/natural-history-museum-reports-further-suspected-meteorite-finds - the website https://meteoritok.org/2024/01/22/2024bx1-elorejelzett-becsapodasu-aszteroida/ documents it all.
