Elne: The meteor that hit the caravan was just a pebble

gravel? meteor? Or what else? A couple of Iberians are still wondering what it is that smashed the roof of their mobile home in a storm overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Eric and Lucette still don’t understand. During the night of Tuesday 23rd to Wednesday 24th November, they wake violently into a full sleep. It was barely half past one in the morning, and a storm was blowing over their isolated caravan on the ground between Elne and Villeneuve-de-la-Raho. “There was an incredible noise.
