Fenómeno, that will have been provoked for meteorite fall, also was seen
in Portugal
"sighted fire Balls" in the sky on Spain


Lusa, PUBLICO.PT
Hundreds of people in Spain, since the Galiza until Valence, had
affirmed to have seen, this fire afternoon, balls in skies, an
occurrence that could be related with the fall of a meteorite. The
fenómeno also was sighted by some sets of ten of people in Portugal,
especially in the district of Viana of the Castle.

In accordance with the edition online of the daily "El World", the
fenómeno was sighted in a territory band, of West the East of Spain,
since the provinces of Corunha, Lugo, Orense and Pontevedra (in the
Galiza) until Baleares, Albacete, Valence, Castellón, passing for Madrid
and Leão. In some zones, the firemen had been called to extinguish small
focos of fire that if thinks to have been provoked for the fall of
incandescent bodies, while noutros places if had heard some explosions.

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 authorities are to try to
determine if the incandescent objectos had resulted of the
disintegration of a meteorite.

The fire ball also was sighted this afternoon in Portugal, as source of
the District Center of Coordination and Aid, that that guaranteed some
people had telephoned for the 112 to say that they capsize to fall one
objecto incandescent with a tail of three meters.

Nuno commander Coast, of the National Center of Coordination of
Socorros, says to have indications to that if she dealt with a meteorite
rain that if abated on great part of the Iberian Peninsula.

The same source, advances that the first fond stories on this in case
that of the CNCS had had origin in concelho of Bridge of Sôr (district
of Portalegre) and shortly afterwards, some people in Viseu had said to
have the same sighted fenómeno. But she was in the district of Viana of
the Castle that bigger number of people told to have seen the flashes,
in particular in the concelhos of Arcs of Valdevez and Caminha.

Between that they had sighted this fenómeno, they are the spectators who
the end of the afternoon attended a game in the Stadium of Santiago de
Compostela, in the Galiza, advance the Spanish agency Efe. Between the
spectators met Jose Angel Docobo, director of the Astronomical Astroroof
of the University of Santiago, according to which the fenómeno will be
able to have origin in the fall of a meteorite, who when entering in the
terrestrial atmosphere if broke up and set on fire, provoking the
sighted effect.

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.
