(meteorobs) Fwd: Meteor's family poses puzzle

Hello all,

I thought this may be of interest to the group :

Researchers have analysed the path of a fireball that exploded over central Europe in 2002, and shown the space rock responsible came from an almost identical orbit to that of a meteorite which fell to Earth in 1959.

Anyone have any theories which might explain this puzzle ?
And... has a radiant been defined for this shower ?
