Fireballs have been reported above Cuba and California in the same week that a meteor streaked across the skies over Russia.
In Cuba on Tuesday, residents reported seeing a bright light in the sky and a loud explosion that shook windows and walls, although there were no reports of any injuries or damage.
One resident of the city of Rodas, near Cienfuegos, described the light as “bigger than the sun”. He said: “On Tuesday we left home to fish around five in the afternoon, and around 8:00 we saw a light in the heavens and then a big ball of fire, bigger than the sun.”
Another resident said described how her home was “completely shaken” by the explosion. She added: “I had never heard such a strange thing.”
There were also numerous unconfirmed reports of a bright streak of light over the San Francisco Bay area on Friday night.
Scientists at the Chabot Space and Science Center, in Oakland, said it had received calls describing what appeared to be a fireball flying west, but it was not clear what the object was.
