Resumen
CORDERO, Guadalupe; CERVANTES-DE LA CRUZ, Karina y GOMEZ, Eduardo. The bolide of February 10, 2010: Observations in Hidalgo and Puebla, Mexico. Geofís. Intl [online]. 2011, vol.50, n.1, pp.77-84. ISSN 2954-436X.
On February 10th, 2010, the inhabitant population of some towns near the border between the States of Hidalgo and Puebla, Mexico, heard a strong blast overhead and felt seismic tremors and roof and windows vibration. At Tulancingo, Hidalgo, 25 km from the explosion zone, visual reports of a bolide and thunder-like sounds were described. A possible explanation may be related with re-entry of spatial debris number 33006 from satellite COSMOS 2421. We describe interviews with witnesses. An alternative hypothesis is a meteoritic origin of the bolide.
