Overview

• Residents across southwestern Buenos Aires, La Pampa and Río Negro filmed a luminous object at sunset that left a long, persistent trail.
• Most astronomers and meteorologists describe the event as a bólido disintegrating in the atmosphere, based on videos and eyewitness reports.
• A minority of specialists note the trail’s early curvature as consistent with reentering space debris, leaving the exact origin unresolved.
• Local police received numerous calls, and no injuries, impacts or recovered fragments have been reported by authorities.
• Meteorologist José Bianco detailed how large meteors can glow, fragment and leave visible trails in daylight, aligning with the observed footage.
