Last night, a refrigerator-sized asteroid from outer space caused a stir in the Philippines.
A one and a half meter long cobblestone of extraterrestrial origin almost hit the Earth.
Like the NTV channel, the asteroid burned just a few hundred meters from the surface of the Philippine earth.
Footage of the arrival of the “guest” from the depths of space appeared on social networks – the corresponding videos were shot by local residents.
By the way, scientists from Arizona (USA) were the first to learn about the existence of this asteroid – just 12 hours before it entered the Earth’s atmosphere.
At the moment of entering the upper layers of the atmosphere at an altitude of about 100 kilometers, the object created a cloud of plasma around itself, visible even 700 kilometers from that location.
According to available information, only small particles reached the surface of the earth, which scientists believe do not pose any danger.
