| Description |
English: Viñales is a witnessed meteorite fall, one of the rarest natural phenomena that human beings experience. A huge fireball was seen falling across the sky over the province of Pinar Del Rió in Cuba on February 1, 2019 at approximately 1:17 pm local time. The meteorite’s fiery entry into Earth’s atmosphere came with several sonic booms and caused the ground to rumble for 15-20 seconds, which led local residents to believe a plane had crashed. A long smoke trail was also captured on video.
It was also captured by the GOES-16 weather satellite, both fireball and sulfur dioxide atmospheric plume NASA. |
