Hi,
One of the SOTT editors asked me to post this here in case there are any Chinese speakers who could translate the article for SOTT, or if they don't have enough time, perhaps just write a short summary of it in English.

Below is the google translation in case it can help, but it is really bad:
Thank you very much!

Looking for "extraterrestrial"
Meteorites meteor crashed west of the fire may be witnesses for sourcing Planetarium
"Beijing is now more rely on the information provided by witnesses to the west of the more important." A brightness comparable to the full moon of the fire meteors from 16-day across the night sky, which is only a short few seconds the moment was captured planetarium monitoring probe to. Yesterday, the planetarium experts said, with fire meteors 着 这颗 draw down, there may be meteorites fall in Beijing, in order to determine the specific location of meteorites fall, the Beijing Planetarium want to look for witnesses.
Extraterrestrial across the night sky
Fire meteor is a meteoroid large fall of meteor generated when the phenomenon of meteoroids in the Earth's dense lower atmosphere, high-speed runs, a dazzling light, the sky of the most stunning astronomical phenomena. 16 night, a Beijing Planetarium staff after Jianxiang Qiao, the inadvertently carry a nod, to see the bridge at a higher ramp the night sky on the background, there is a very bright point in the planning movement, and North Korea West down a bit when the flash burst.
"There the full moon brightness it." That the staff member said that this was an uncommon fire meteor, when the time is 22:23. The next day, he came to units, by the view planetarium monitoring probes into the accident found that a short moment is just a few seconds the probe filmed.
Or a meteorite landed at the capital
Yesterday, reporters in the filming of "fire meteor" across the surveillance video saw the vision of the probe monitoring the construction of the left side of the old Beijing Planetarium for the Museum, when suddenly the dark night there was a bright spot across the night sky, more and more bright, and through the dome at the top of the old museum, like the moment the explosion sent a fire like the light, and then blocked Jibei lived the roof, which lasted only about three seconds.
"You can see in the video seems to be drawn off the top of the old museum, but in fact draw down of the local and planetarium have two hundred kilometers." Curator of Beijing Planetarium, said Zhu Jin, 这颗 fire meteor falling to the ground if the did not burn out, there may be meteorite landed in Beijing area. Beijing Planetarium is relatively large meteorite collection units, but in the hundreds of pieces of meteorite collections, but are also not found in meteorites from the Beijing area.
Find witnesses for the public
According to reports, the fire meteor draw down the same day, one in Tianjin amateur astronomers have witnessed the landscape, indicating Zheke fire meteors are likely to fall on the outskirts of Beijing area. Relevant experts said that a three years ago, discovered the fire in Heilongjiang area meteor debris weighs about 1,000 grams. It is predicted that if you can find 16 of the meteorites, may be larger than the size of Zheke.
Zhu Jin said that some people are already calling the planetarium, said the fire on the 16th witness to draw off the meteor, but all in urban areas, with the planetarium monitored the situation almost. According to the observing, 这颗 fire meteors are likely to fall to the west of Beijing and Hebei Province at the junction, it is estimated Baihua Mountain area west also, therefore, living in Beijing, the more people rely on the West observed fire meteor, the more information provided important. Beijing, meanwhile, all the west has taken to monitor the probe may also capture images at the time the specific time at 22:23 on the 16th, if they can get more information on video or photographs, for finding meteorites will be of much help.
