Thanks for the warning. Scary.

I think the collision regulations say meteors are the stand on vessel .

About 1NM offshore half way between Dieppe and Le Havre according to the above link

Well, a single black ball means that it’s anchored so it can’t really “stand on”

Pretty cool. Not clear if there was an actual impact.
