Maribo meteorite
Permalink  
 

The Maribo (carbonaceous chondrite) meteorite fall occurred on 17 January 2009 over the island of Lolland (Denmark) just before 20:09 Central European Time. The event was observed in Denmark, northern Germany, Sweden, Poland and from the Netherlands. The meteor fragments were initially assumed to have fallen into the Baltic Sea.
 The fireball was recorded in Svensköp (Sweden) and from various private webcams. In Oostkapelle (Netherlands) it was recorded by a dashboard camera. Other cameras showed the brightening of the surroundings or or sky. In northern Europe, many witnesses who came forward to the police and broadcasters. Weather phenomena was immediately excluded by meteorologists with little doubt that it was a meteorite fall, especially in Denmark and the Baltic Sea coast after the light and sounds were witnessed. The collected observations indicated that the fireball exploded over the Baltic Sea,with a possibility that meteorite fragments may have reached the Earth's surface.
Despite the poor prospects of finding a meteorite, the German Thomas Grau made a search for the meteorite. After interviewing many witnesses and analysis of the observations he was able to narrow the potential drop zone on the island of Lolland. After several days of unsuccessful search, there was on 13 March reports about the discovery of a 30-gram meteorite. The meteorite had broken into several parts  and gave off a nondescript, strong odour, and was evidently a carbonaceous chondrite. According to Danish law all meteorites found in Denmark belong to the Treasury, with the Finder receiving an reward. 
The official classification of the meteorite is a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite type CM2 and bears the name of Maribo, after the town on Lolland, which it was found nearest to.

Maribo
54°45'43"N, 11°28'3"E
Sjaelland, Denmark Fell 17 January 2009, 20:09 local time (UT+1)
Carbonaceous chondrite (CM2)
History: A bright fireball was seen over the Baltic Sea at 20:09 (CET), January 17, 2009. The fireball was caught on a surveillance video camera in southern Sweden and on an all sky camera in the Netherlands. Three bright explosions are seen on the video and a glowing plasma trail that persisted about 3 s. Explosions were heard up to five minutes after the fireball in southern Zealand, on the eastern part of the island Lolland, and at the German Baltic Sea. 550 eyewitness reports were received by the Danish fireball network. The supersonic boom was registered by two infrasound stations and a few seismometers in Germany and Denmark. The bolide's light curve was recorded by a few radiometers of the European Fireball Network. On March 4, the Thomas Grau (ERFM) found the first and so far only meteorite from the fall. The meteorite had penetrated a few cm into a grass surface.
