At the same time, the night before, residents of cities across Turkey watched the fall of an unknown bright object, writes Ukrinform.
“In Ankara, at about 18.25, a large bright spherical object appeared in the sky, which quickly descended to the ground. After the fall, a trace remained in the sky, which subsequently disappeared. We observed this phenomenon in the Cankaya region,” the agency writes.
Also, the fall of the object was observed in other areas of Ankara, as well as in Istanbul, Konya, Izmir, Sakarya, Antalya, Eskisehir, Denizli and Nigde. Eyewitnesses wrote about this on social networks and posted video from surveillance cameras, suggesting that it was a meteorite.
