First Num moment the Spanish authorities, alerted by hundreds of calls efectuadas for the emergency numbers, had thought to be da fall about an airplane, but the hypothesis was discarded pelas Spanish civil aviation, that guarantees did not detect any fenómeno stranger. For its side, the Spanish Institute of Meteorology disclosed that its instruments (since radars the satellite images) had not detected "nothing are of abnormal person", discarding the hypothesis of if dealing with a known atmospheric fenómeno.

The responsible one affirms that the astroroof studied a similar fenómeno recently, relative to the fall of a cosmic rock with about ten tons. However, the astronomer believes that, of this time, the meteorite could weigh enters the 50 one hundred tons. Another one of the explanations could be of the entrance in the artificial atmosphere of one objecto, such as remaining portions of a foguetão or of a satellite, it explained, still that this is a less probable hypothesis. <http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/imagens/ult_quadbw.gif> PUBLICO.PT <http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/getimage.asp?tb=IMAGENS&id=99168> -- 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 --------------050201090404030904050303 Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="------------080107060303090205040109" --------------080107060303090205040109 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> </head> <body> <br> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=pt_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.correiomanha.pt%2Fnoticia.asp%3Fid%3D80323%26amp%3Bidselect%3D21%26amp%3BidCanal%3D21%26amp%3Bp%3D94">http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp=pt_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.correiomanha.pt%2Fnoticia.asp%3Fid%3D80323%26amp%3Bidselect%3D21%26amp%3BidCanal%3D21%26amp%3Bp%3D94</a><br> <br> <br> <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><font face="arial" size="1" color="red">2004-01-05 01:00:00</font><br /=""> <font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000">Viana of the Castle</font><br /=""> <font face="arial" size="3" color="#000000"><b>FIRE BALL CROSSES SKY</b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td><font face="arial" size="3" color="#000000">Twenty and firemen of five corporations were yesterday to the night to ' the strange ' search of one objecto that algures in the district of Viana of the Castle will have fallen, but still nothing had been found.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100" align="Right"> <tbody> <tr> <td><font face="arial" size="1" color="#000000">Archive Cm</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img border="0" src="http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/getimage.asp?tb=IMAGENS&id=13254" alt="firemen" /=""> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000"> As source of the District Center of Coordination and Aid, some people of the concelhos of Viana of the Castle, Walks, Arcs of Valdevez and Ponte de Lima had telephoned for the 112 to guarantee that they capsize to fall one objecto incandescent with a tail of three meters. <br> <br> Also in Spain, hundreds of Spaniard contactaram the emergency services affirming to have seen ' fire balls ' to cross skies.
