Hi Marco,
I should have been more specific,sorry - basically,meteorites were
recovered from both events,and both fireballs were captured on multiple
cameras and their orbits determined as being the same(ie they must have
come from the same parent body),but,the recovered meteorites were found
to be of different composition when analyzed,suggesting that they came
from different parent bodies,which contradicts the photographic
evidence!
Well, in my opinion
most brilliant objects in cosmos, such as fireballs, follow an orbit.
Ins't that impossible the the first (1959), didn't fragment tottally.
Very probably that part of that bolide kept on its journey untill
it ended up again over the the skies of Central Europe (2002) in the form
of a shower.
Ruled out since the composition differed in both the recovered
meteorites.
