The mystery of the black spheres falling from the sky in Spain is getting deeper as yet another of these space balls fell from the sky in the same area where two others appeared in less than two weeks. No explanation has been given for these strange objects dropping from space as if someone or something is targeting Murcia. The area has been quarantined … is it time for terrified residents to evacuate?

Wouldn't there be a huge crater if these fell from space ??

No. Smaller objects (even after entering the atmosphere after moving at orbital speeds, and even faster) would be slowed down to terminal velocity by the atmosphere.
For example, meteorites the size of (say) a meter or smaller would hit the ground at about 200 mph, or maybe a little faster. Granted, 50 meter or 100 meter meteorites will have enough momentum and mass behind it to slice through the air faster than terminal velocity (maybe thousands of mph).
Take the 1992 "Peekskill Meteorite", for example. It hit a parked car on impact, and it did some damage, but it didn't destroy the car or blast a huge crater:

If it's space junk like a hydrazine tank, then the odds of 2 of them falling near the same location on earth is like accidentally shooting the dots off a dice while blindfolded, from a moving vehicle.
Pretty strange is all I'm saying.
So if you drop two balls simultaneously from the Sears tower will one land in Chicago and the other in New York?
The hollowness of the objects makes them appear to be normal tanks...say of a rocket or propulsion system, but let me explain why its not. I believe these are cloud orbs otherwise known as alien drones that were struck by lightning or shot down. Alien tech does not usually have wires and loose circuits like our tech has. Alien tech is on a micro scale and is built into the metal of the craft itself. Much like a 3d printer printing the wires inside of a toy robot so when its finished all you do is add the batteries. Alien tech has it all build in, except for their propulsion system.

A hunk of space junk is headed for Earth and will plunge into our planet in about two and a half weeks. Right now, scientists predict it will crash-land on Friday the 13th (of November). Technically known as WT1190F, scientists have nicknamed it WTF—as in “WTF is this?”

If those have plastic surely they should be burned unless they fell from the floating city?

Not exactly, but try dropping two balls from a moving orbital platform in space and see where they land. They found debris from the Russian Space Station Mir across half the south pacific when it fell out of orbit.

Weren't their photos posted here on ATS of mysterious floating cities that have started appearing recently? Perhaps they're not really mirages. Maybe an interdimensional rift is forming?!
