In the video animation, a ball of light resembling a fireball flashed across the night sky, and many people took photos of this scene.

Judging from the location of discovery in online pictures, citizens in Xiaoshan, Binjiang, Chengxi and other places have discovered it. From the video, you can see that the "fireball" fell very quickly, passed through the clouds with an obvious bright light, and then disappeared on the horizon.

Many Hangzhou netizens expressed their shock at this scene: Netizens commented not only in Hangzhou, Pujiang, and Yiwu, but also in Zhuji, where they reported seeing a "fireball" with extremely high brightness. Netizens in Pujiang, Zhejiang also reported that "there was a loud noise, windows

They were all shocked."

Netizens commented that it was a meteorite?

meteor?

Everyone is guessing.

The reporter also learned from the Hangzhou Fire Department that so far, no relevant police reports have been received.

In addition, the Meteorological Bureau also stated that the phenomenon has nothing to do with weather phenomena and may be related to astronomical phenomena.

Chairman of the Hangzhou Astronomical Society: This is a rare "bolide" that landed on the ground. What exactly is this "fireball"?

The reporter contacted the chairman of the Hangzhou Astronomical Society, whose online name is "Caesar".

"Caesar" told reporters that astronomy enthusiasts in Pujiang, Lanxi and other places in Jinhua also saw this phenomenon and reported that the local glass was vibrating and there was a loud noise.

This is indeed a very good opportunity to popularize astronomical knowledge to the public.

This period happens to be when the Geminid meteor shower, one of the three major meteor showers every year, is intensive. Its annual flow is very stable, usually around the Double Twelve. The maximum value was last night, with the largest number.

"The large piece we see is actually one of the fragments produced by an asteroid in the solar system. The fragments are distributed throughout the entire planetary orbit of the sun." The earth rotates once a year, exactly following the trajectory of its fragments.

After the intersection, some of the fragments are affected by the gravity of the earth and fall into the atmosphere. The intense friction will produce bright light.

This asteroid is very distinctive. The gradient color is initially a little green. This is the more obvious feature of the Gemini asteroid. It is extremely bright and burns very violently. We have a name for it: "Bolide".

Most meteorites burn up in the atmosphere and generally do not fall to the ground. If they are lucky enough to fall to the ground, they are very precious.

As big as this one, it is possible for it to fall to the ground. The specific location depends on where it lands.

Reporter Zhong Wei and Li Weihe reported that a "fireball" was suspected of falling from the sky in Hangzhou?

Someone in Pujiang, Jinhua claimed that "a meteorite fell in Tanxi." Qianjiang Evening News·Hourly News reporter Zhu Lizhen Fangli This evening, many netizens in Hangzhou witnessed a "fireball falling from the sky."

Not only in Hangzhou, but also in Jinhua Pujiang, many people saw this strange phenomenon.

Hourly News reporters learned that some local WeChat groups in Pujiang, Jinhua reported that "a meteorite fell in Chengtou Village, Tanxi Town" and uploaded pictures and videos, but their authenticity has yet to be verified.

Hourly News reporters contacted Jinhua Fire Department and they said they had not received any relevant alarms.

There was news in the WeChat group that "a meteorite fell in Chengtou Village, Tanxi Town." The hourly news reporter immediately contacted a local from Tanxi, Pujiang.

It is understood that Tanxi is located in the north of Pujiang River, bordering Tonglu. There are usually more strong convective weather here, and there was hail some time ago.

But where the stone landed is still under investigation.

At 7:11 p.m., the hourly news reporter contacted Mr. Chen, a villager in Chengtou Village, Tanxi. According to Mr. Chen, "The meteorite did fall in Chengtou Village and hit the cement road in front of the farmers' houses in the village.

A pit six to seven centimeters deep, but luckily no one was hit." Mr. Chen also told the Hourly News reporter: The meteorite was about the size of an goose egg, flat, black, and dense, weighing about 7 taels.

The villagers claimed to have picked up the meteorite. "At that time, a fireball fell, and the whole village lit up and made a loud noise, just like an explosion. The villagers were frightened." Mr. Chen said that this is the only meteorite found so far, and the village has reported the situation.

The meteorite has also been handed over to the local public security department.

In addition, the Hourly News reporter also contacted the Provincial Meteorological Society Zhengyan High School Building Maoyuan. He told the Hourly News reporter: This fireball may be an external celestial body, or a small celestial body, or a small meteorite, which is attracted by the earth.

It is caused by the burning of the atmosphere. This has nothing to do with changes in the weather system, but whether it can be seen is related to the meteorology.

"Today, the weather is relatively sunny and there are relatively few clouds, so you can see it. If there are more medium and low clouds, or it rains, you won't be able to see it." Lou Maoyuan said: There is currently no definite basis, it cannot

Must be totally a shooting star.

But it is either an extraterrestrial object or a man-made object.

But one thing is certain, it burns through the atmosphere to produce such a bright thing.
