PARIS, France, March 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The European Space Agency said it is investigating a fireball that streaked across the skies of Europe on the weekend before reportedly punching a football-sized hole in the roof of a German home. The fireball broke up into small meteorites, some of which reportedly struck at least one house in the German town of Koblenz, the ESA said in a statement late Monday. Objects around this size strike Earth somewhat regularly, from once every few weeks to once every few years, the agency explained. The fireball came days after the ESA announced that a massive asteroid would not smash into the Moon in 2032. But fresh data from the James Webb Space Telescope last week also confirmed it would miss the Moon, according to the ESA.
