And meteorite of great dimensions has fallen on Türkiye and has left an imposing green trail. Hundreds of citizens have not missed the opportunity to record the moment.
The passage of the celestial body occurred during the night of Saturday in the provinces of Diyarbakir, Elazig, Bingöl, Tunceli and Erzurum, located in eastern Anatolia, about 1,000 kilometers east of Istanbul.
A video recorded by a car camera shows the appearance of a spotlight so powerful in the sky that the road and the nearby hills, initially plunged in darkness, appear for a few tenths of a second with an aspect almost daylight.
Especially popular on social networks has been a video filmed during the celebration of a boda in a courtyard in Diyarbakir province, where the light from the meteorite illuminates a group of people dancing in a circle.
The fall of meteorites in Turkey, if the place of impact can be specified, often attracts people who try to get hold of a fragment, either to keep it as a souvenir, or to sell it to collectors who offer high prices for a piece of these bodies.
