[Regnum] The fall of a small celestial body was observed by residents of Germany on the night of January 21. The newspaper Bild am Sonntag writes about this.

According to the publication, an asteroid about 1 meter in diameter exploded in the sky over Berlin. The fireball left a long trail of light, and fragments of the meteorite are being searched on the ground.
Whether the four second video at the link is impressive must be a matter of taste.
There is probably little left of the celestial body. There is no information about possible damage yet. Thanks to the calculations of specialists, they knew about the approach of the asteroid in advance.

The meteor's passage could also be observed in Leipzig and Prague. According to NASA calculations, the estimated crash site is the territory of the Nehnhausen community in the federal state of Brandenburg.

In April 2023, a small meteorite fell in northern Germany in the city of Elmshorn. It broke through the roof of one of the houses, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) reported.

As Regnum reported, on January 15, a small fireball appeared in the sky over Japan, and footage of the fireball spread on social networks.
