Meteor enters in the atmosphere of the Earth and it
provokes explosions - CBN

RIO - Scientists of the National Observatory of Rio de
Janeiro and of the National Laboratory of Astrophysics
of Minas Gerais they confirmed that a meteor entered
in the atmosphere of the Earth about the 2h40m of the
dawn today. The shock provoked at least three
explosions.

A reddened light could be seen in the skies of Rio,
São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Several people that
witnessed the phenomenon thought that was some aerial
accident. Barracks of the Body of Firemen received
connections informing on the explosions.

The tower of control of the International Airport Tom
Jobim registered the phenomenon, but didn't know how
to inform what was. For physical Ronaldo Rogério
Mourão, of the National Observatory, due to the
intensity of the explosions, the meteor could have
more than a thousand diameter meters.
He disintegrated when entering in the terrestrial
atmosphere.

Unhappily, for my coordinates it was raining strong
and I lost that : (

Celeestial hugs for all
