Pust´e ´Ul’any (PU) is the smallest recovered pedigree fall event meteorite so farand, moreover, was observed during daylight. The results of physical and mineralogicalanalyses of the new meteorite fall instrumentally observed on June 25, 2022, in the westernpart of Slovakia are presented. The meteorite fragment of 8.55 g mass was recovered onAugust 20, 2022, in the strewn field within 100 m of the predicted area of equivalent massfragments. Mineralogical analyses, computed tomography, physical properties such as bulkand grain densities, as well as magnetic susceptibility were carried out, confirming that PUis an ordinary chondrite of H5 type. Analysis of cosmogenic radionuclides confirmed a freshfall of the meteorite and helped estimate a pre-atmospheric radius of the meteorite to be19 4 cm with a corresponding mass of 98 24 kg, and a minimum cosmic-ray exposureage of 2–3 Myr.
