The bolide of February 10, 2010: Observations in Hidalgo and Puebla, Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
On February 10th, 2010, the inhabitant population of some towns near the border between the States of Hidalgo and Puebla, Mexico, heard a strong blast overhead and felt seismic tremors and roof and windows vibration. At Tulancingo, Hidalgo, 25 km from the explosion zone, visual reports of a bolide and thunder–like sounds were described. A possible explanation may be related with re–entry of spatial debris number 33006 from satellite COSMOS 2421. We describe interviews with witnesses. An alternative hypothesis is a meteoritic origin of the bolide.
