On September 22 over northern Germany and Netherlands the unusual object — the concerned meteor was noticed. The space body fell by height of 91 kilometer over Earth, and then "jumped aside" back in space! ESA Meteoroid — it, as a rule, a fragment of a comet or an asteroid which becomes a meteor when it flies in Earth atmosphere with a speed of 11 — 72 km/s. The majority of such objects breaks up and sometimes fragments fall on a surface of our planet in the form of meteorites. However recent "guest" appeared the lucky! It did not fall rather low completely to burn down and managed "to escape"...
