"It was an exceptionally bright meteor. It produced two flashes of light, followed by a bang. It is not yet possible to say, but based on the properties, there is a possibility that meteorites, which are smaller parts of it, survived and hit the ground," he said.
Goiás was happy about the phenomenon on social networks. "It was the largest and longest fireball I've ever seen. It is very exciting to witness such an event," said a resident of Aparecida de Goiânia.
"I was at home. There was lightning in the sky, then a strong explosion like thunder. The phenomenon was very beautiful," said Maycon de Sousa Oliveira, a resident of Anápolis.

The UK Meteor Network described it as 'a fairly big meteor' in a post on social media . The ECHO's chief photographer Colin Lane spotted a 'mini fireball' in the sky on Saturday evening.
Colin, who lives on Merseyside, said: "I was looking up at the clear sky a mini fireball caught my eye. I initially thought it was a firework but there was no sound. It was falling from the sky with a golden glow fireball. Guessing it was meteor or shooting star."

"They're both pretty much once-in-a-lifetime kinds of sightings, so the odds of them happening two in a row right after each other is really, really amazing," said Scott Young, planetary astronomer at the Manitoba Museum.
Parts of western Manitoba and Saskatchewan had a similar sight on Tuesday night.
The fireball on Wednesday happened around 9:45 p.m. Sightings of the meteor falling through the sky were reported from people in the northern Interlake region through Winnipeg and south to Niverville.
So far, there have been 50 sightings of Wednesday's meteor sent to the International Meteor Organization, Young said.
On Tuesday, people reported sightings from as far north as The Pas, but also in locations in southern Saskatchewan and North Dakota.
