Bariloche trembled and the sky was illuminated after meteorite fall
Last night around 00:35 the sky of the city was illuminated for a few seconds and in many areas rumbles and vibrations were felt by the fall of a "bolide". It was seen over the Nahuel Huapi Lake.
A listener of El Cordillerano Radio (93.7) sent a video where the event can be perfectly appreciated. In the social networks, videos also began to circulate commenting on different possibilities: the fall of an asteroid, a meteorite or space debris.
WHAT HAPPENED? A user of social networks spread the video where you can see the flash caused by a meteorite. The event was captured at midnight on Wednesday over Temuco. The bolide was also spotted in the city of Bariloche.
