Overview
- Residents across Córdoba, Santa Fe, Rosario, Buenos Aires, Santiago del Estero and Río Negro reported a bright object around 5:50 a.m. local time.
- Preliminary assessments by regional experts describe the event as a bólido that burned up in the upper atmosphere.
- Some specialists noted a possible alternative of reentering artificial debris, which remains under review.
- Early estimates place the phenomenon near 85 kilometers in altitude, visible over roughly 300–400 kilometers, with a true luminous passage of about two to three seconds on a west‑to‑east track.
- Witness videos show varied color impressions, and experts say the object likely disintegrated into meteoric dust with no explosions, injuries or recoverable fragments reported.
