The first recorded meteorite fall occurred in 1492 in the town of Ensisheim, in present-day France. A large stone meteorite, weighing about 1275 grams, fell during a thunderstorm and was later documented by witnesses. This event marked the beginning of scientific interest in meteorites, as it was one of the earliest instances of a meteorite being observed falling to Earth and subsequently collected. The Ensisheim meteorite is now housed in a museum in the town.
