AENA has assured that "they do not have certainty" of which some problem in the air operations has taken place, although the control tower of the airport of Madrid-Barajas was put in contact in average afternoon with Territorial the Weather station to inquire on this phenomenon. Iberia has not either received any notification of its pilots on this phenomenon In Leon, an object has fallen in a mount of the town of Renedo de Valderaduey, to about 90 kilometers to the east of the capital.

The spectators who attended the party which they disputed in the stage San Lazaro of Santiago de Compostela the local equipment and San Sebastián of the Kings also has been able to sight the strange phenomenon. Jose Docobo Angel, director of the Astronomical observatory ' Ramon Maria Aller', of the University of Santiago, that attended that party, explained that he could be a natural phenomenon, a cosmic stone that was moving around the sun and that, in its way, was with the Earth and, when entering her, it fragmented producing the effect that could be seen. Docobo remembered that in 1996 the Astronomical observatory ' Ramon Aller' made a study exhaustive of a similar phenomenon, although caused by a stone of 10 tons. In this occasion, the expert thinks that he could be a bolide of between 50 and 100 tons of weight since he has seen himself in many places of Spain and to total light of the day. Another one of the hypotheses that the scientist shuffled is that outside the entrance in the atmosphere of some artificial object, like some rest of rocket or satellite, option this one that, in its opinion, is less probable. -- Pekka Savolainen Jokiharjuntie 4 FIN-71330 Rasala FINLAND + 358 400 818 912 Group Home Page: http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/eurocoin Group Email Address: eurocoin_at_smartgroups.com --------------050201050907030708080105 Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="------------080505020004000903010806" --------------080505020004000903010806 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> </head> <body> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=es_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elmundo.es%2Felmundo%2F2004%2F01%2F04%2Fsociedad%2F1073241586.html">http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=es_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elmundo.es%2Felmundo%2F2004%2F01%2F04%2Fsociedad%2F1073241586.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <p><span class="docepixrojoneg"> THE AUTHORITIES THINK THAT IT IS A METEORITE</span><br> <span class="titulonoticia">Hundreds of people see ' balls of fuegó cross the sky from A Corunna to Valencia</span><br> <br> <span class="docepix">ELMUNDO.ES<br> </span></p> <!-- = EMPIEZA LA CAJA FOTO/ENLACES = --><!-- ###### DESACTIVADO: SIEMPRE ENTRA AQUI ####### IF _at_ ( 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 >= 1) @ ===== --><!-- = INICIO solo si hay (foto o tabla de enlaces) Apertura de tabla que engloba a foto/enlaces = --> <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" align="Right"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td align="Center" class="piefot" width="200"><!-- = FIN solo si hay (foto o tabla de enlaces) = --><!-- ===== ###### DESACTIVADO: SIEMPRE ENTRA AQUI ####### ENDIF ===== --><!-- = INICIO de CELDA de la FOTO = --> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="194" align="Right"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img src="http://estaticos.elmundo.es/elmundo/imagenes/2004/01/04/1073241586_3.gif" border="1" width="194" height="146" alt="[ photo of the news ]" /=""> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!-- = FIN de CELDA de la FOTO = --><!-- ----------- INICIO BANNER DE PUBLICIDAD 300 ----------- --><!-- = NO SE PERMITE BANNER_300x300 = --><!-- ------------- FIN BANNER DE PUBLICIDAD 300 ------------- --></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td height="1" bgcolor="#58754d" colspan="2"><img src="http://babelfish.altavista.com/elmundo/iconos/pixeltrans.gif" width="1" height="1" alt=""> </td> </tr> <!-- = TABLA DE LOS ENLACES = --><!-- = FIN solo si hay (foto o tabla de enlaces) Separador celda foto/ademas = --><!-- = SEPARADOR = --><tr> <td class="mvdiezpixverclaro" colspan="2"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="Right"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="4"><img src="http://babelfish.altavista.com/elmundo/iconos/pixeltrans.gif" width="1" height="4" alt=""> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <!-- = SEPARADOR = --><!-- = INICIO TABLA NOTICIAS RELACIONADAS = --><tr> <td bgcolor="#0066cc" class="mvdiezpixverclaro" colspan="2" height="18"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="Right"> <tbody> <tr> <td bgcolor="#0066cc" width="16"><img src="http://babelfish.altavista.com/elmundo/iconos/v1.1/flecha_ademas.gif" width="14" height="14" alt=""> </td> <td bgcolor="#0066cc"><a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=es_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fariadna.elmundo.es%2Fbuscador%2Fnoticiasrelacionadas.html" class="oncepix"><b> THE RELATED NEWS</b></a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <!-- = FIN TABLA NOTICIAS RELACIONADAS = --> </tbody> </table> <!-- = FIN TABLA ENLACES = --><!-- ###### DESACTIVADO: SIEMPRE ENTRA AQUI ####### IF _at_ ( 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 >= 1) @ ===== --><!-- = INICIO solo si hay (foto o tabla de enlaces) Cierre de tabla que engloba a foto/enlaces = --></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!-- = FIN solo si hay (foto o tabla de enlaces) Cierre de tabla que engloba a foto/enlaces = --><!-- ===== ###### DESACTIVADO: SIEMPRE ENTRA AQUI ####### ENDIF ===== --><!-- = TERMINA LA CAJA FOTO/ENLACES = --> <p><span class="docepix"><b>MADRID</b>. - </span><span class="trecepixnegro"> Hundreds of Spaniards have called to the services of emergency to inform of which they have seen ' balls of fuegó cross the sky.
