For a last few days I was well isolated from every news,...
I will translate article from dnevnik.hr
-------------------------------
METEOR FELT NEAR SAMOBOR?
According to eyewithnesses, it seems like a fire in the sky. Then,
powerfull explosion, and earthquake. Everything lasts for about ten
seconds.
Explosion was heard from Samobor and part of Zagreb, and one could
fell earthquake even from Karlovac. However, ther was no proof that it
was really meteor.
Some media write that eyewithnessers saw something like "fireball" in
the sky, which then fell to soil.
Entrance of meteor or something similar in the Earth atmnosphere is
confirmed for Vjesnik [Croatian daily newspaper] by Korado Korlevic,
leader of Visnjan observatory.
"Something felt! It would be interesting to find this place and see
what was it indeed. According to eyewithnessers, which heard also
acoustic effect, it is possible that fall happened somewhere in the
Zagreb environment", said Korlevic.
Fireball was seen also from Sibenik, Samobor, Dugo Selo and Jastrebarsko.
---------------------------------
I don't see any proof of meteorite fall. Also, I'm very suspicious
with this video (so curved trajectory) [I remember one "photograph of
meteorite fall" a few years ago, which occured in nearly all
newspapers in Croatia - it was TOTALY fake].
