Translation :
Exactly right above my head!
OK...
There was an explosion, It's smoke was blue.
Then it went up...
Three or Four times...
It exploded successively...
By the time I prepared my camera, everything had been finished.
Suddenly it fell down with a sound similar to TOP.
From the sound I understand that it hit the mud.
The I noticed here...
It penetraed to the mud for about half of a meter.
I searched the mud and I found sth.
Then I take it out and washed it completely.
It was a black stone...
Turn it around...
It seems Brazil and Argentina had the same thing.
Please share any good video of it.
Thanks

Interesting.

On Wednesday night July 22 just above the eastern horizon at about 10:45 PM Central Time (US & Canada) I saw a bluish-green colored meteor streak downward. At the time I was riding as a passenger in the car looking out at the night sky. I made a note of it because of that strange blue almost green color.

Oh I was expecting that we would see it fall on the video... what a disappoint.

And yeah it's not that big, but I certainly wouldn't have liked to have it hurt me at a high speed. I think it's the season during July and August there is a lot of "shooting stars" (aka meteors) and it's extremely unlikely the hit earth without disaggregating.

As far I know the only record of an individual who died by being hit by a meteor is a dog in Egypt.
