Good evening all

Whilst doing a quick browse across the news sites, i came across these two
links :
http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2986524&cloc=joongangdaily|home|newslist1

http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26644567

Both sources state that a meteor shower on the 9th of March produced two
specimens of 9 and 4 kg, officially recognised by the Korean Polar Research
Institute as chondrites.

Does anyone have any more information about this meteor shower and how it
came to pass that such large objects were retrieved from this 'shower' ?

Best regards,
Alex
