Folks, what do you think about this?
Fireball over Becici
August 16, 2011, Becici, country of Montenegro, Eastern Europe
Article from a Daily newspaper: All those who last night around 21 20 h were on the promenade in Becici were terrified by the sight – a fireball, appeared the sky which caused fear and panic among the citizens, according to Dan.
The ball made a circle and seemed to be moving towards the city of Budva. “At one point it looked as if it went out and re-appeared and disappeared”, - claimed the interviewees of the Podgorica DAILY who was on the promenade in the evening and they said that they never saw anything like that in their lives.
The “Rudjer Bošković” astronomical society have said they assume it is a' 'lightning'' ball, natural phenomenon which rarely happens, while the Hydro- meteorological Institute dismiss that possibility, saying that it s probably a meteor.
Head of the Center for Analysis and forecast of the Hydro- meteorological Institute Branko Micev assumed it was a meteor.
- I think that Martians and aliens are out of question. I did not witness the incident but I guess it's a meteorite, since that appeared at a great distance.
It can not be talked about ball lightning phenomenon because they occur at a nearer distance. Meteor penetrating the atmosphere is a common occurrence.
Rigth now we have a meteor rain going on, said Micev.
The interviewee: "I was walking with my son and daughter at the promenade in Becici towards my car, intending to get back to my hometown Podgorica. My son at one point looked toward heaven and said "look." It seemed like a fire ball that was hovering in one spot in the sky and it was quite far away. My son took a foto of it. People around us started to turn and look. I asked an elderly man if he knows what that is? However, he looked astonished at the sky and did not comment. It was like in the movies. A young woman, who was on the boardwalk, cried that she was feeling bad and her hands were shaking. I responded to her that I feel as if my heart will jump out" – Claimed the interviewee from Podgorica. She says that she was really stunned, and that the fire ball at one point began to move in the direction of the hills above Budva. – The Ball made a circle. At one point it looked as if the light is out and re-appeared and vanished. This lasted several minutes, but to me it seemed like an eternity. I thought it was a meteor, but logic dictates to me that it would not stand in one place. It moves and when it enters the atmosphere, it burns. I think that is something from outer space. I do not think it is a spacecraft. We are scared. We had the impression that it will fall. It wasn’t pleasant at all. I ve never seen anything like this – said this woman from Podgorica.
In the Budva Security Center they told us that none of the citizens and tourists did not report the appearance of glowing orbs in the sky above Becici.
On Earth falls 20,000 tons of meteoric material
The appearance of a bright trace is called a meteor. The moment, when the earth moves around the Sun, the Earth crosses the orbit and meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, so they emit light that we see which is a phenomenon known as a meteor. If meteoroid body was large and if did not burn completely while entering the earth's atmosphere, it falls to Earth, leaving a crater. This body, which falls on the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. In our planet we get approximately 20,000 tons of meteoric material, but mostly in the form of fine dust that can not be seen by the naked eye.
I ve translated this article from Montenegrin to English , using google translate and i ve fixed it a little:
