A meteorite sighting in Argentina on Sunday morning turned night into day, but only for a few seconds. The locals have reported seeing a fireball crossing the sky and the earth to shake, according to the international press.
night seemed over Argentina earlier, near 3 am, when the pitch disappeared and the sky brightened. But contrary to what they thought the inhabitants of various areas of Argentina, who saw the phenomenon, it was not the day he was born early, but a “fireball” that crossed the sky.
The meteorite was visible at various locations, but Santiago del Estero was where he met best when the clocks marked the 3:20 a.m. (7:20 a.m. in Lisbon). Besides the sudden brightness, some witnesses say they have also felt an earthquake before and after the pass of the fireball.
“This is a meteor that entered the atmosphere at a speed of 130,000 miles per hour,” said the director of the Astronomical Observatory of Santa Fe, adding that the ‘ball’ “disintegrated when he was at an altitude of 65 kilometers. ”
