Despite a 1,000-strong search team and a police helicopter looking for the remains of a giant fireball seen in the skies of central Colombia, authorities have been unable to locate the supposed meteorite's crash site. The Colombian media has been buzzing with eyewitness accounts of the fireball, which fell from the sky, causing a massive explosion at 3:15PM Sunday. LINK.

Looks to be a meteorite. If you click the photos tab once you go to the "read" link next to the event in the table, it'll show you a picture. Could be wrong, but that's what it looks like.

Pretty sure this thread is already covering this topic.

Search is your friend!

Later.

There is a youtube video that reports on it:



I have to say it looks quite impressive in the photos shown on the video !

My apologies for reposting a thread all ready created Im just not use to seeing the icon last that long. You can close this thread if you wish... Thanks and one again my apologies

Colombian authorities confirmed that a "giant fireball" that fell from the sky in the Santander department, central Colombia, was a meteorite. The Colombian media has been buzzing with eye witness accounts of the fireball, which caused a massive explosion at 3:15PM local time Sunday. Andina.com reported that Bucaramanga Mayor Fernando Vargas confirmed that the phenomenon was a meteorite that left a crater 100 meters in diameter when it crashed into the earth in the San Joaquin municipality in Santander. Colombian air force helicopters were commissioned to fly over the area to try to locate the source of the explosion. The director of the University of Nariño's Astronomic Observatory, Alberto Quijano, told RCN Radio Sunday that he believed the object was a meteorite. In rural areas of Santander, police received reports that the explosion had shattered windows in the area.

this is from sunday.
