Second flaming ball spotted in northern Greece 'likely a meteor'
Kathimerini (Greece)

A large flaming ball seen flying through the sky by residents in Halkidiki,
Drama and Serres on Sunday night was probably a meteorite, experts said
yesterday. Many witnesses, who reported the sighting to local police, said
they saw the object fall into the sea. Earlier this month a similar
'fireball' had been reported by residents of Elefsina, Kavala, Corfu and
Ioannina. There were claims it had fallen to earth in the northwestern
region of Zagori, near Ioannina, but fire service workers failed to find
any evidence of a fire or debris.
