Yay, according to allsky7.groups.io/g/main/messa the first #meteorite from the #Texas event has been recovered - and together with another such success in Italy (see prisma.inaf.it/index.php/2023/ for details) and at least seven meteorites from the French case (with the object #2023CX1 seen before it hit Earth) we have just seen THREE fireballs with collected fresh meteorites in a single week! Each such event is rare but a cluster of three is truly unique in geophysics history, AFAIK.

allsky7.groups.io Falls this week

First meteorites from #2023CX1 found in Normandy.

And I see that @SETIInstitute's Peter Jenniskens did not waste any time traveling over there.
