Little doubt that colonialist Britain will get blamed.

Either way I hope nobody is hurt.

2nd video is awesome, looks like it turns to daylight for a brief moment, pretty cool.

Exactly the same, Bruce Willis saved the planet from devastation.

I think more people have cameras now, so it's recorded more, so appears to happen more often.

Not more common, just more recorded. There are thousends of them every year but its only recently that every man and his dog has a cameraphone in his pocket, even in poorer countries.

Good job it didnt land inside that concert or a town, the death toll would have been very high.

Wonder what the crash site looks like?

Going to search web in Spanish to see what they have.

reminds me of:

Still no reports of any alien landings on Sunday so we can all go back to sleep.

I'd poo lots.

There is no sense of scale until it actually disappears. That first vid looks like its heading straight for the camera.

no just more cameras in the world so they're captured more often.

They happen all the time. You will only hear about it more often now because of how fast news travels. I'm sure just 20 years ago if this had happened no one in the UK would know about it for a long time.

It's the popes fault.

Jono · 24 Apr 2013 at 12:06

Surely if THAT was the crash site there'd be some sizeable fragments to find.

"Every night is observed interplanetary matter drop, but what happened today was the precipitation of a larger element and origin as primitive as our planet. Some fragments amounted to fall to the ground, but they are very small and almost impossible to locate them, "said the specialist.

edit - just seen the above posts mentioning 2011

Same as more people have recording equipment built into their phone and an internet connection

No signs of those pesky UFO's though lol
