The National Head of Meteorology and Hydrology of Senamhi in Iquitos, stated that it was the entry of a meteorite into the Loreto atmosphere that can rarely be seen in this part of the country.
Usually this phenomenon is recorded in the Andean zone of the country and for what caused surprise due, also, to the clear sky that was yesterday in the city.

New research shows it's the composition of the rock a meteorite hits, and not the impactor's size, that causes an extinction-level event.
It's a well-known story in our planet's past: A giant space rock slams into Earth, causing a catastrophe that ends in mass extinction. You might think that when it comes to determining which hits will cause such widespread devastation, the size of the incoming impactor is what matters. But new research suggests that something else might matter more: The composition of the ground where that meteorite hits.
The work, published Dec. 1, 2021, in Journal of the Geological Society, focuses on explaining why some meteorite impacts cause mass extinctions, while others don't. For example, the famous impact that killed the dinosaurs and left the Chicxulub crater was much smaller than many other impact events that didn't cause massive loss of species. Why might this be?
