A
mysterious cosmic rain.
(Corriere della sera, 20.06.2006)
In the last month, incredible sequences of cosmic objects have
fallen on both the earth and the moon.
The 2nd of May a NASA astronomer while watching our
satellite on the telescope noticed a flash of light on its surface. Successive analysis will explain that a meteorite not bigger then a football ball and travelling at the amazing speed of 136 thousands kms/h, has hit the face of the moon creating a crater 15 meters wide and 3 deep.
The most recent phenomenon, include the 9th of June fireball in the skies of Norway followed by a bang; the impact on a mountain near Tromso, will show later the signs of a crater.
Specialists explained this
event was probably due to a cosmic fragment that entering in our atmosphere has started to disintegrate till reduced to few centimetres of diameter, it felled on the mountain, This object according to the scientist Roed Odegaard freed an energy similar to the Hiroshima’s nuclear bomb; his colleague Kaare Aksnes instead, just compares it to a conventional bomb.
Even more mysterious is the event of just a week later in the city of Lomza in Poland.
A Nissan parked on the street is all of a sudden destroyed under the eyes of several astonished witnesses, from “something” apparently fallen from the blue.
Inside the wrecks of the car this time hasn’t been found any of cosmic stone, but some kind of metallic materials.
The main hypothesis are two: it might have been a part of satellite fallen from the space, or a
missile out of control launched from a base in the Eastern Europe.
Luckily the car was empty at the moment of the impact otherwise the consequences for the occupants would have been fatal.
The propietor of the car however, has already asked for damages to the country that will be identified as the owner of the satellite or of the missile.
