     P. Jenniskens, SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center; and F.
Colas, Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Computation of Ephemerides at
Paris Observatory, report that on 2023 Feb. 15 at 15h47m UTC, a 95g meteorite
was recovered near St. Pierre le Viger in Normandy, France, by a research
team comprised of participants in the Fireball Recovery and Interplanetary
Observation Network (FRIPON) and in FRIPON/Vigie-Ciel (cf. website URLs
https://www.fripon.org/meteorites-found-after-observation-of-asteroid-2023cx1-
fireball-above-normandy-france/ and https://www.vigie-ciel.org/2023/02/15/une-
meteorite-normande-issue-de-2023-cx1-retrouvee/).  FRIPON/Vigie-Ciel is a
citizen science project overseen by the Museum of Natural History, the
Observatory of Paris, Paris-Saclay University, and the OSU Institute
Pytheas of Aix-Marseille University.  This meteorite is a fragment of the
asteroidal object 2023 CX_1, which entered the earth's atmosphere on 2023
Feb. 13 at 2h59m UTC (cf. CBET 5221).  Since this first recovery, just over
20 meteorites have been found with masses in the range 2 to 350 g.
