Dozens of people from several points of the city of Cordoba were able to observe in the sky the fall of an impressive fireball with a strong flash this Thursday night around 23:51 local time.

As can be seen in the images the fireball was greenish in color with a strong explosion as it entered the atmosphere illuminating the night sky.

This one landed reasonably close and was caught on camera in Germany apparently. It's on YT "shorts", so it keeps replaying. It's like watching a bomb go off.

Celui-ci a atterri assez près et a apparemment été filmé en Allemagne. C'est sur YT "shorts", donc ça continue de rejouer. C'est comme regarder une bombe exploser. :effrayé:

Yep, as stated in the video description, it is CGI. Especially noticeable in the behavior of the sand.

Yes, although I can't figure out WHY they'd want to do something like that. It's not like they don't have Chelyabinsk to refer to as far as meteor strikes go.

They also don't have beaches like that in Germany... But they do in Lebanon. Maybe it was the sound of a real explosion? 2 years ago, almost to the day.

This is a view of the fireball that flowed at 18:50:41 on September 12, 2022, as captured by a wide-angle camera pointed southwest from Fuji. It flowed low in the sky for nearly 4 seconds. It seemed to have been witnessed over a wide area, mainly in Kansai and Shikoku. Translated with Deepl
