Reports have emerged that the mysterious object disintegrated above eastern Brazil and northern Peru.
The bizarre incident was accompanied with loud booms.
Comment: The booms probably wouldn't have been caused by the spheres per se, but whatever craft or larger object carried them through the atmosphere before disintegrating/exploding - assuming that they are indeed man-made and part of a satellite.
People living in Larancahuani, in the region of Puno, Peru, were reportedly left terrified when three metallic spheres crashed down.
The unexplained incident unfolded on January 27.
Video footage from the day appears to show a fireball hurtling through the sky.
Comment: Here's video footage of the mystery fireball:
It does indeed appear to have been a rocket reentry, according to an ID made by watchers.news: In 2016, three very similar objects landed all at once in Vietnam - loud booms were also reported in that case. In 2015, about 6 such objects fell to the ground in Spain. And in 2011, another metal sphere fell in Namibia.
