A bright fireball streaked across the night sky over Belgium and Netherlands at around 20:12 UTC on February 15, 2019. The event lasted several seconds.
The International Meteor Organization (IMO) received 107 eyewitness reports. The object was mostly seen from the Netherlands, northeastern Belgium and western Germany but people from southeastern England and as far south as Paris and Beaune, France also witnessed the event.
Another fireball was seen over northeastern Germany at 22:00 UTC on February 17 and was reported by 62 people so far. There are no images or videos of this event at this time.

A meteor exploded over the island of Mayotte, South Indian Ocean on February 18, 2019, sparking panic among residents.
According to a statement released by the Mayotte Prefecture, the explosion took place at 21:30 local time (18:30 UTC).
"Some of the testimonies collected suggest a bright fireball in the Mahoran sky. However, emergency services, police, and firefighters said no particular event occurred in the territory," officials said.
All aerial and maritime information provided by the specialized services suggest that the observed phenomenon took place at sea, off the coast of Mahor.
At this point, the Prefecture is trying to confirm this hypothesis and precisely locate the impact using astronomical observations of the area.
One of the residents reported a very bright meteor, traveling from Labattoir to the sea.
