Comments regarding the Western Australia fireball suggest that the celestial body could be a larger object from the Leonid meteor shower that peaked last Friday or Saturday, November 17, or November 18. Regardless, the recent space object was observed in the Australian city of Perth and other locations across the state. Earlier this year, a fireball was also seen in Australia, near its southern region, but it turned out to be a Russian rocket body that fell back to Earth.

Officials in Strasbourg are investigating a suspected meteorite strike, after a parked car was found with a 50-centimetre diameter hole in its roof.
The fire department were called out early on Monday morning to reports of smoke coming from a car which was parked in a suburb of the city in north-east France.
"Following reconnaissance by the first team, we suspect the fall of a stellar body," wrote the Bas-Rhin Sdis, the regional fire department, in its intervention report published mid-day.
"When we arrived, we noticed a relatively large impact, around 50 centimetres in diameter, which had gone through the roof, underbody and fuel tank of the vehicle", fire department captain Matthieu Colobert told AFP.
A search concluded that there was no radioactivity.

Comment: French meteor experts say the country has recorded just 50 or so meteorite falls over four centuries.
So what would you say if we told you that, just 20km west of Strasbourg, and just 4 months ago, another meteorite fell and actually hit someone?!..
