On 13 February 2023, a blazing fireball lit up the skies over northern France, startling residents and sparking questions across social media. The event occurred near the Normandy region and was visible as far as southern England.
Eyewitnesses reported a sudden burst of light accompanied by a low rumble, with some fearing it could be linked to an alien invasion or a breach in European airspace. Scientists, however, have confirmed that the fireball was caused by a small asteroid, officially named 2023 CX1, entering Earth's atmosphere.
