Witness accounts emerged from multiple areas across Korea on Friday evening of a large, oval-shaped object burning as it fell from the sky.
According to local media outlet Yonhap, an unnamed Incheon resident saw what appeared to be a large shooting star falling while driving near Sipjeong-dong in Bupyeong District at around 8:43 p.m.
Footage from the vehicle's dashboard camera showed the object falling with a long trail of fire behind it and appearing to break apart once or twice as it descended.
A similar sight was reported in Yangju, Gyeonggi. Yonhap quoted an unnamed resident in the region as saying that "an unidentified object fell from the sky near Cheonbo Tunnel in Hoeam-dong, Yangju."
Scientists in central Poland have recovered a rare iron meteorite believed to be the remnant of a spectacular fireball that streaked across the sky on April 17.
The 2.9-kilogram meteorite was discovered near Łódź in the village of Zadzim on Wednesday, just five days after it flew over Poland.
The rapid recovery makes it the first iron meteorite in Poland to be found so quickly after an observed fall, and one of only a handful worldwide with a precisely reconstructed orbit, the Skytinel meteor research network said on Friday.
