I need a translation please. I cant read a lick of it. The sphere looks intresting.

Online translation isn't that much better

30/07/2004 -An object done not identify fell in the locality of Head from the Cow, to the 48km from the headquarters of the Journey Boa town, in the sertão head office of him Will Dine. The object is round and weigh around 30 kilos. The piece was found by a farmer when come back from the work. The disclosure from the news in a local radio attracted inhabitants to the point where the object fell.



Still agreement with the populares, the noise from the fall was heard in all the community, reaching a ray of 15 km.

The object was inspected and photographed. It Polices Soldier was in the localities, but did not identify the object. The Journey Boa city hall communicated to the air force, that sent a team to the localities.

This happened when? I need a date please.....
Thanks!

EDIT: Never mind...see it...just got up

At this time no one know what is this object/debris...but looks like a satelite..
.

interesting .. if it's not covered-up - it's a satellite

I need to find this out via research..... I didnt think a satellite could "fall" to earth. It just rotates around the earth. Its orbit keeps it in space, like always. What would make it "fall"?

It got loose of a sudden

According to the translations: it is (was and you will see why i put this in parentheses) thought to be part of a chinese satellite.
Now here is the kicker, They are also now reporting that it has been stolen :
The Not identified Flying Object (Óvni), that it can be a tank of a spaceship or of a satellite, that fell last week in the community of Head of the Cow, in Good Trip, in the Central Hinterland of the Ceará, was stolen. The sphere of 30 kilos would have to be with the city hall, that would place it in the museum of the city.
per the last link posted.

Wouldn't a satellite burn up before hitting the earth if it did fall out of orbit?

LadyV it's based on what it's made of ..

Not that i have a lot of experience with sattelites but ive never seen one that was perfectly round and had no seams to open it. The ball looks like those found throught south america that no one can explain.

You can´t know if it is perfectly round by seeing that picture, you can´t even see the other side of it. Besides if you look closely, there is a line in the middle where two pieces seem to be joined.



I don´t found anything impossible to explain in that object. I mean the object itself, not the way it arrived there.

dooh .. it is a part of a satellite ..

Orbits deteriorate after time, depending on distance of the orbit. Satellites fall all the time...generally, most countries announce when this will happen, and warn the countries that may be at risk. It's rare but not unheard of, for pieces to survive, and rarer still to recover them (as most satellites fall over water).

The theft is equally interesting... The Chinese aren't known for being the best at notifying when a satellite will come down...especially if it's a spy satellite. I wonder if this was the case? If so, it would certainly explain the theft a lot better...(or could just be a farmer who wants to sell it on E-Bay...who knows?)

Its probably the fuel core to the satellite and some "person" decided that it was in the best interest of the surrounding population to "remove" this item from the area before some low IQ person decided to drill a hole in it.

Odd that it would survive an impact from that high of an altitude and velocity. IF a goverment did steal this thing back, then apparently it would be to hide the advance in structural metalorgy needed to make the object resistant to such extreme forces that would have been induced on the "object".

It does seem odd that a piece like this would not only survive re-entry but also the high-speed impact on the ground. If it is a piece of a satellite I am surprised that it was not announced or at least scheduled to come down somewhere recovery agents could easily pick it up.
