A Meteorite Fell in Mexico and Sparked Several Fires
The fall is linked to the Draconids meteor shower.
In Mexico, local residents saw a flying fireball, which turned out to be a fairly large meteor. It then fell in the northwest of the country and started several fires. This was reported by eyewitnesses and local media, in particular, Milenio Tamaulipas.
Eyewitnesses managed to film the fall. The celestial body also was caught on surveillance cameras. The fireball did not burn up completely in the atmosphere, and fragments fell in the city of Ciudad Victoria.
Local residents reported several fires, with burning fragments setting grass and bushes alight. Several fire crews were dispatched to the impact site, and arriving specialists said the celestial body had been quite large.
According to astronomers, the meteorite is linked to the Draconids meteor shower. The peak of the meteor shower is expected on October 8–10.
Earlier, on February 28, a meteorite exploded in the sky over Croatia.
