It is common way to protect freshly fallen meteorites during recovery and transportation. By wrapping the meteorite in aluminum foil, it helps to insulate it from the environment and protect it from rapid temperature changes. This is especially important for meteorites that have fallen in wet or humid environments, as exposure to moisture can cause them to rust or degrade.

In mid-February 2023, three different meteorites fell and were recovered within just three days in France, Italy, and Texas. The left image shows the meteorite that fell in France on Feb 13th at 2:59 UTC, the middle image shows the meteorite that fell in Texas on Feb 15th at 23:22 UTC, and the right image shows the meteorite that fell in Italy on Feb 14th at 18:59 UTC. The American Meteor Society reports that all three meteorites have been successfully recovered and will be analyzed to learn more about their origins and composition.

Edit: Here are the details about each of the three meteorites

  1. France (Feb 13th at 2:59 UTC): The first of the three meteorites fell in southwestern France, near the town of Tarbes. The fireball created by the meteor was seen by many witnesses and was captured on video. The meteorite itself weighed around 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) and was found by a farmer in a field. Preliminary analysis of the meteorite revealed that it is a chondrite, a type of stony meteorite that is one of the most common types to fall to Earth.

  2. Italy (Feb 14th at 18:59 UTC): The second meteorite fell in northern Italy, near the town of Varese. The fireball created by the meteor was seen by many witnesses and was also captured on video. The meteorite itself weighed around 120 grams (4.2 oz) and was found by a local resident. Preliminary analysis of the meteorite suggests that it is a carbonaceous chondrite, a type of stony meteorite that is rare and is known to contain organic compounds.

  3. Texas (Feb 15th at 23:22 UTC): The third meteorite fell in north-central Texas, near the town of Denton. The fireball created by the meteor was seen by many witnesses and was also captured on video. The meteorite itself weighed around 300 grams (10.6 oz) and was found by a local resident. Preliminary analysis of the meteorite indicates that it is an ordinary chondrite.
