Last week seven sparkling fireballs over Chile's sky raise the alien debate again: The last weekend report of Chilean National Geology and Mining service confirmed that the flashes that lit up the Chile sky were not meteorites. Then what are they is the question of may astrophysicists across the world now? With this report, the fear of aliens has once again cropped among the UFO or unidentified foreign object enthusiasts.
In the last week of September, residents of the Chiloe Island in southern Chile saw strange fireballs soared across Chile's skies. There were several bright red objects streak across the sky. They also sparked several small fires when these flaming objects hit the ground. But with the geologists reported that they weren't meteorites, the mystery behind the chile's sparkling sky fireballs raises many questions and remains a mystery now.
