00:51km. The meteorite then moved northeast, experiencing several explosions along its path
00:58due to abrupt ruptures in the rock, which created sudden bursts of luminosity.
01:05The meteorite finally disintegrated at an altitude of approximately

02:21Castro Deir and Pinheiro, two towns 309 kilometers apart. Despite numerous reports
02:28and firefighters searching through the night, no fragments had been found by 2 a.m. local time.
02:35The event left many people pondering the reality of such occurrences. One social media remarked,
02:42Same month as the Aurora Borealis. Why are all these once-in-a-lifetime events
