At 18:32:38 UT on April 7, 1990, a breccious L-LL type chondrite fell near Glanerbrug in the Netherlands. From visual observations of the meteor by 200 occasional observers, a heliocentric orbit is derived by several independent methods, including a new method using the slope of the meteor on the sky as seen from different locations. The orbit found has a relatively high inclination of 23 +/- 5 deg, adding weight to the high inclination tail of meteorite producing fireballs. The average value of i for this population matches that of the population of near-earth asteroids, but is significantly higher than that found for the possible meteorite producing fireballs registered in the Prairie Network and the Meteorite Observation and Recovery Project.
