Thank you for posting this.

Is it confirmed by scientists that this is really a meteorite or is it maybe some amount of space debris, maybe a fallen satellite?

Anything confirmed?

Wow- very interesting.

The pictures above look like an outline of the Starship Enterprise from Star trek- At first I thought they were fake but apparently they are genuin- Amazing.

It had not been found yet, but experts agree that it is a meteorite.

They are a lot of witnesses, and its a real thing.

Could be possible if it was an HAARP kind of test?

Unless it was a piece of falling space craft that made it through the atmosphere (it does happen at times) the only other alternative is a meteorite.

I will have to look at specialized sites see what they say.

They are around all the time only they don't often hit us!!

La astrónoma argentina Beatriz García, del observatorio Pierre Auger, confirmó que se trató de un meteorito. Según la científica, se trató de un objeto bastante particular porque fue visto por muchas personas en varios lugares y además tuvo una impactante imagen visual. "Fue bastante particular porque al parecer el objeto se desintegró en el aire y dejó la estela que dejan los meteoritos. Es por eso que en algunos lugares se vio una estela blanca y en otros se vio el momento de la explosión", aclaró.

Al consultarle sobre si este fenómeno es normal, García resaltó que sí y que se da en cualquier lugar del mundo y en diferentes épocas del año. Dijo que una tonelada de este tipo de objetos cae a la tierra, pero aclaró que no siempre tienen tanta repercusión como el de ayer. "El impacto del meteoro fue muy importante porque al desintegrase provocó una explosión que se sintió en el planeta y fue advertido por muchas personas.

Argentina astronomer Beatrice Garcia of the Pierre Auger observatory, confirmed that it was a meteorite. According to the scientist, it was a very particular order because he was seen by many people in various places and also had a striking visual image. "It was rather special because the object apparently disintegrated in the air and left in the slipstream of meteorites. That's why in some places they saw a white trail and in others it was the time of the explosion," he said.

When asked whether this phenomenon is normal, Garcia stressed that yes, which occurs anywhere in the world and in different seasons. He said a ton of these types of objects falling to earth, but he did not always have as much impact as yesterday. "The impact of the meteor was very important because disintegrate caused an explosion that was felt in the world and was warned by many people.

Thank you very much for your latest post. I have tried looking on serious sites such as Spaceweather.com and others too but they don't mention anything at least not yet.

Interesting , but how does a meteorite make such patterns in the sky ? and make loud noise? :confused:

According to a hypothesis of a scientist of San Rafael in Mendoza, the phenomenon observed on Sunday afternoon in the southern province would not be a meteorite, but the reentry of a Russian spacecraft, the Progress M67.

Nor would split over territory, "said Mendoza, but fell in the graveyard of spaceships Pacific, some 3,000 miles from New Zealand.
