[meteorite-list] Something in the air...

[Kevin Kichinka]

Team Meteorite:

My friend Gonzalo Pereira, an astronomer in La Paz, Bolivia and the
curator of "Colecion de Meteoritos Blaine Reed" has sent me these
links to videos of something falling through the night sky in NW
Bolivia around April 2. The YouTube video appeared on the national
news. The TV station added the music for dramatic effect :>)

Anyone want to guess what this might be? Gonzalo is looking for a
reason to go look for "something" that may have reached the ground.

I've forwarded his orginal message.

Hola Kevin,

The event was a week after “Viernes Santo” Why the religious
procession this day? I don’t know but this is in the amazonian region,
in this place the indigenous people are so much religious thanks to
the Jesuitical Missions. The name of this place is Guayaramerin, in
the NW of Bolivia, near the Brazil border (10.8° S; 5.38° W, if you want
to find in the Google Earth).

This new appeared in a local TV and they said that was a UFO (this is
the reason of this music), the image is edited and also you can watch
this in youtube:

And:

In this last you can watch 2 videos about the meteor and other videos
concerning to Guayaramerin and the people who live there, some of these
in English.

Feliz fin de semana
