MODERATORS
2 hours ago, I heard on the French national radio an observatory director interview about this incident. He said that the recovered debris size was not fitting the impact.
Several decades ago, a car was hit by a meteorite in the USA, with similar damages, but the debris was 10~12kg heavy and found just underneath the car, with the floor also punctured.
At this point of the investigation, he said that the meteorite hypothesis was very unlikely.
If not that, it would have to be an improvised explosive, wouldn't it?
Maybe a bird just needed to just take a big shit?
Sounds plausible
