The meteorite glows in the sky of Peru

The image of a shining object believed to be meteorite was caught plunging down from the sky of Cusco, southern Peru.

The amateur film that has shot a bright line is rushing towards the earth near Peru's Andes last week. Netizens speculate that this may be a meteorite that falls to earth.

Meteorite images plunged down from the sky.

Local officials are trying to determine whether the strange object "landed" on Earth.

Meteors are rock or metal fragments that fall to the earth from the sky after breaking off from a larger alien object. They come in many sizes, from an object that is only 1mm in size to an equivalent of a football field or even larger.
