Falling Fireballs Crashed in Chile Last Week. They Weren't Meteorites, Experts Say.

On Sept. 28, the geologists released their official assessment: None of the seven sites contained traces of meteorite. Since the mysterious objects weren't meteors, logic dictates that they must have been wayward space junk, but officials said they'll be conducting more detailed analyses of soil samples collected from the singed sites to make sure, according to CNET.

The geologists will release their results later this month. Only time will tell what exactly fell from the heavens on that unusual autumn evening.

Falling Fireballs Crashed in Chile Last Week. They Weren't Meteorites, Experts Say.



On Sept. 25 in Dalcahue City, on the Chilean island of Chiloé. Seven flaming unidentified objects crashed down. Setting fires where they landed. No one is sure yet what it was that attacked Chiloé from the air.

Chances are it was some type of space junk. Could not find any pictures showing what crashed at the sites. There must be some pics out there. Will update this thread later if pics are found.

Attacked Chiloé from the air?
That's a strrrrrrretch and a half.

Something falls from the sky and its hyped up to an attack?

Must've been duds

Being honest and realistic about it that picture looks like a pink type ufo orb in flight mode. Great find

Effin ETs, I hate em. Always messing with us.

The spaceship probably has a button, "Meteorite Mode" just for landing on Earth!

First thing that came to my mind was that film 'Cocoon' from back in the 80's. 1985. ok, the Cocoons landed in the Ocean but still...

Hahahaaa quackers

Space junk is a fair assessment.

Neither space junk or meteors are hot enough to start fires by the time they reach the surface.

Things like sky lanterns have been known to do so.

Well certainly the blowup of one of the Chile fireballs matches a lantern in outline,

True.

Maybe lanterns.

Could also be flares. Most likely countermeasure or maritime.

That pic in the op of the trail looks like what I remember of the countermeasure variety.

Not seen maritime but this did happen on an island. If not from an airplane, maybe a mix of alcohol, boredom, teenage stupidity and access to dad's fishing boat... Good times.

Flares

Nice to know space is now so full of junk it could hit us in the head.
