Eddie G. Fetalvero. At about 10am on March 7, 2011 (GMT+8), a loud explosion was heard in our island (Tablas Island) in the province of Romblon in Central Philippines. It was followed by a tremor.
Fishermen on sea saw a fiery and swift ball of fire falling from sky (daytime). Some forests were burned. Some debris fell into the sea. The impact site is now being identified by authorities.
Anybody who can explain this phenomenon?
Why that so loud explosion and strong tremor?
Perhaps a volcano erupted? Any reports?

There was no report of volcanic eruption or plane crash.
Based on the police reports (up to this time they have been gathering accounts of witnesses), the loud explosion was heard all over the island followed by a tremor. Reverberations of explosion were observed on GI roofings. A cogonal upland area was reported ablazed. Initial impressions point to a meteor, "bulalakaw" in the local dialect. Its size was believed to be bigger than the usual shooting stars.

Please email me at LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com I will try to answer your questions. Thank you for you report!
Anyone else from the RP that saw something? Please advise of Philippine local press reports! please email; thank you!

This seems to explain a major proton event in the atmosphere being reported by several researchers who are interested in earthquake prediction (normally using ELF/ULF events).

There were other posts, but this is typical.
