Spektakularny wybuch meteoru wydarzył się dziś (28 lutego) nad północnymi Bałkanami o 10:34, Zdarzenie widziane i słysznae było z północnych Włoch, Słoweni, Chorwacji oraz Austrii. Wybuch był na tyle silny że został zarejestrowany przez sejsmografy. Część odłamków mogła dotrzeć do ziemi

Observers who saw the explosion were reporting that it looked like a fireball at night, only it was daytime with a bright flash of light, followed by a loud explosion. For a while, there was a larger yellowish mass in the cloud (probably the meteor was still burning), with then only the smoke cloud remaining. Some of the observers also reported shaking windows during the accompanying shockwave.

Although some residents initially thought it was an airplane breaking the sound barrier (sonic boom) or an earthquake, the Croatian Astronomical Union (CAU) confirmed it was a bolide (fireball meteor) – an extremely bright meteor.

The sonic boom was registered in capital Zagreb at 09:34 UTC, three minutes after the visual spectacle. The sound lasted for several seconds and was heard across northern Croatia.

According to the CAU, the meteor exploded at a height of about 30 km (18.6 miles) above the ground. It is quite possible that some pieces survived atmospheric entry, but it’s still unclear where they might have landed. There are some unofficial reports, a piece of the object was found in the city of Koprivnica, northeast Croatia.

Seismographs of both Slovenian and Croatian meteorological services (ARSO, DHMZ) clearly registered the shock waves! It was probably a breakthrough of the sonic boom caused by the meteor explosion. See the charts below
