Original Portuguese-
Aqui vão algumas imagens do meteorito condrítico de Porangaba, SP, cuja queda aconteceu na sexta-feira 9 de janeiro às 15:35 hs aproximadamente, testemunhada por Julio Carvalho da Silva e seu filho Eduardo, caseiros do sítio Alhambra, do cineasta Paulo Gama. Eles contam que escutaram um estampido prolongado e um som vibratório no céu antes de uma série de quedas retumbantes, uma delas presenciada por Julio Carvalho da Silva a escassos metros de distância. Logo após, se dirigiu ao local e achou uma pequena cratera de impacto (buraco na terra de uns 10 cm de diâmetro por 25 cm de profundidade, mas não teve coragem de pôr a mão. Seu filho Edu foi chamar Paulo Gama, que também tinha escutado o som, e este, com muito cuidado para verificar se a pedra não estava quente, foi o primeiro a tocá-la.
Visitamos o local no sábado 17 de janeiro e lá estava Maria Elizabeth Zucolotto, astrônoma especialista em meteorítica que já tinha examinado a pedra. Esta apresenta uma característica crosta de fusão preta e em dois pontos tinha sido fraturada sendo possível ver a simples vista diversos côndrulos metálicos.
Espero que gostem.
Grande Abraço,
Carlos Cornejo

Google English Translation-

  Here are some pictures of condrítico Porangaba meteorite, SP, whose fall happened on Friday, January 9 at 15:35 pm approximately witnessed by Julio Carvalho da Silva and his son Edward, home of the Alhambra site, Paulo Gama filmmaker. They say that they heard a long bang and a vibrating sound in the sky before a series of thundering falls, one of them attended by Julio Carvalho da Silva a few meters away. Soon after, he went to the site and found a small impact crater (hole in the ground of about 10 cm in diameter and 25 cm deep, but did not dare lay a hand. His son was called Edu Paulo Gama, who also had heard the sound, and this very carefully to see if the stone was not hot, was the first to touch her.

  We visited the place on Saturday, January 17th and there was Mary Elizabeth Zucolotto, meteorite expert who had examined the stone. This presents a characteristic crust of black fusion and two points had been fractured and you can see the simple view various metallic chondrules.

Meteor-like object lights up sky over Russian Far East

Posted to YouTube by RT 301 views
Published on Jan 18, 2015
COURTESY: Konstantin Pivkin http://instagram.com/kostya_talakan/
  The sky in Russia's Far East was lit up by a strange object on Sunday morning, 18JAN2015.. It flew over the city of Blagoveschensk leaving behind a long trail of white light, which reportedly hung in the sky for the next two hours. But the journey was short-lived. After a few seconds the object exploded in a bright flash. Locals claim they witnessed a meteorite, but so far there has been no official information about the celestial phenomena.

Astronomer / Space Trash Expert Notes-
I believe this to have been the re-entry of the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that launched the Dragon CRS-5 spacecraft.
I posted a more detailed report to SeeSat-L:
http://satobs.org/seesat/Jan-2015/0122.html
Ted Molczan

Update-
It appears that the re-entry of 15001D / 40373 was seen from Russia's far east Amur Region on Jan 17 21:48 UTC (Jan 18
near 06:48 local time).

The first USSTRATCOM TIP message was issued a couple of hours before re-entry. The second and probably final one was issued a couple of hours after re-entry. It reported the time of decay as 2015 Jan 17 21:46 UTC +/- 7 min., and the location as 52 deg N, 121 deg E.

USSTRATCOM identifies 15001D / 40373 as debris of  Dragon CRS-5; however, I believe it was the Falcon 9 second stage. The Dragon spacecraft jettisons two solar array covers upon reaching orbit, which typically decay within 2 or 3 days of launch. The Falcon stage typically re-enters about a week later. The respective decay dates of objects 15001B / 40371 and 15001C / 40372 were 2015 Jan 13 and Jan 12, consistent with the solar array covers, but USSTRATCOM identified B as the Falcon 9 second stage. The identities of 15001B / 40371 and 15001D / 40373 should be swapped.

I have seen reports of sightings from the following locations:
Blagoveshchensk 50.28 N, 127.54 E
Belogorsk 50.92 N, 128.47 E
Khabarovsk Krai 48.50 N, 135.07 E 45 s duration

So far, I have found the following sources of information on the sightings.

Galera, around 23h, Brasilia time, I can not remember the exact time, dropped a meteor that lit enough. I was close to it, in a place with low light and crowd of people who were in front of me, to look back I could see the trail in the sky for about 10 seconds or more until it disappeared. If anyone else witnessed this event please report. The meteor  event was seen in Caico, RN, Brasil.
