Meteorite Fall over the Cotswolds – Again!

A spectacular fireball on 23rd October may have dropped meteorites over the Cotswolds.

The fireball was picked up on more than a dozen cameras from the UK Meteor Network (UKMON) and was composed of a small chunk of asteroid. Analysis indicated that a few hundred grammes may have made it to ground level somewhere to the north-east of Cirencester – by an amazing coincidence, less than ten kilometres from where the Winchcombe Meteorite fell not so long ago.
