Dieter writes:
The Neuschwanstein meteorites fell on April 6, 2002. This
was one the first falls that was caught by fireball cameras
and subsequently found. This is a rare fall of EL6 chondrites
with a pedigree since the heliocentric orbit was determined.

I feel that it is fantastic that the whole story is posted on signs in the fall area. Adopting this concept could lead to more finds in many areas. |

Thank you for a fantastic presentation, Dieter! An iconic fall in an idyllic area -- hard to believe it has already been 20 years! (And always impressive that multiple meteorites were found in such difficult terrain!) |
