The [organic matter](https://phys.org/tags/organic+matter/) suggests the meteorite could represent a class of unique, weak meteorite not previously studied. Queenie Chan, at Royal Holloway, University of London, said, "Meteorite fall happens all year round, however, what makes this meteorite fall so unique is that this is the first meteorite to have been observed by numerous eyewitnesses, recorded, and recovered in the U.K. This allowed us to study the organic signature truly essential to the meteorite itself. with an observed meteorite fall event, with more than 1,000 eyewitnesses and numerous footages of the fireball. Queenie Chan, from the Department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London, found organic compounds from space that hold the secrets to the origin of life.
