They say it was somewhere between the size of a chair and a desk and probably weighed about 1 to 10 tons on reentry. I don't know if anything survived to hit the ground, but it's possible. This certainly wasn't something the size of a pea that completely burned up. Here is link to another discussion on it : http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2764197 Regards and clear skies, MikeG Post Extras:       matt Vendor (Scopemania) Reged: 07/28/03 Loc: Chaville, France Re: Mike!

There's an article on www.universetoday.com about it. Possibly thousands of fragments over a 20 square kilometer area. I wonder which town these meteorites will be named after?
