A large green fireball accompanied by sonic booms was observed over European countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland at 19:44 UTC on March 15, 2015.
Markus Griesser from the Eschenberg Observatory in Switzerland said the information they received clearly indicates that it was a meteorite. He added it is too early to determine where the meteorite may have crashed.
Witnesses told Swiss newspaper Le Matin that they saw a “flash, like a lightning bolt” and others reported hearing a dull thunder accompanying the meteorite as it passed through the sky, TheLocal.fr writes.
Some reported hearing two loud explosions on top of seeing the greenish light.
