Mass Cachalot stranding in Denmark

2026, February 20. Denmark, at Skallingen near Fanø. A mass stranding of four cachlots (sperm whales). At the same time, there were observations of live animals in the sea off the coast. Previous stranding and meteor activity are covered in a previous post. It's not as complex and energy-driven as the 2016 incidents; however, this could be the start of something that could escalate. Hopefully it won't. In 2016 a large meteor fell over Denmark, the big event (Ejby Meteorite Fal). The fireball’s path moved from the southwest to the northeast, passing over the German-Danish border and terminating over the Zealand region of Denmark. As of February 20, fireball activity has remained steady. When these cluster strandings occur, there is very often a significant meteor event that occurs pre, post, or in the middle. The other note is that the current strandings are occurring at a higher latitude, and the UK and France have had none. I'm currently cross-referencing 2016-2026 and any activity in Norway. See February 7th post.

Update: 2026, February 18. Denmark, Fireball. Travelling NE. Time: around 17:06 UT. 18:06CET. Seen in Östergötlands län, Halland County, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein (Sweden, and Germany).

2026, January 20. Denmark. Fireball. Travelling NNW over Zealand. Time: around 22:33 UT. 2026-01-20 23:33CET Seen in Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Skåne County and Skåne län (Sweden, and Germany).

There has been a large meteor seen in UK, am awaiting data. I will post further developments as they come in. The risk of further stranding is high.
