Fire Ball kills a woman in Buenos Aires

A woman was killed and 8 other people wounded in a mysterious explosion in Monte Grande, near Buenos Aires. Some eyewitnesses claim a 'ball of fire from the sky' was the cause of the explosion which occurred this morning and destroyed two houses and three cars, agi.it reported.

Officials said a search by the more than 100 police and others turned up a canister of natural gas with a poor connection to a pizza oven, the Washington Post reported.

After the reports of a fireball coming down, the government dispatched the large number of searchers to check for radioactivity and any material that might have come from outer space. Provincial justice and security minister Ricardo Casal said experts were “evaluating all theories, from an explosion to something strange that came from the sky.”

But the experts found no evidence of a crater, and NASA said its satellite that fell to Earth sometime Saturday landed well clear of South America.
