Meteorite falling near my place

Post by Pumo »

Today very early (2:00 am approximately) a meteorite fell here, at Puebla, Mexico.

I was sleeping and couldn't be able to see it live (unfortunately), but it seems my mom and older brother were able to see something, as they were awakened suddenly and I vaguely listened them talking about something, but I went to sleep again. :tongue:

Anyway, here you can see a video of the event:

Pretty fascinating, isn't it?

Did anybody find it/was it big enough for it to land?

Be warned

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

It seems it was not that big, as it exploded in the atmosphere, according to reports.

So hopefully we won't see a scene like that on war of the worlds! :alien:
