Carlos Barreto-
Caros amigos Marcelo, Luís Fernando ,David Willian e Otávio, vi agora pouco, às 23 hrs algo muito estranho cruzando os céus. Um objeto estranho, cujo formato não consegui identificar. Tinha a velocidade parecida com a de um avião, mas tinha uma longa cauda flamejante em direção oposta a sua trajétoria.
Pode ser besteira, mas se alguém mais relatar alguma coisa, que fique aqui registrado o meu testemunho.
---------
Fernando-
Trindade eu vi a mesma coisa, cara.. agora a pouco.. achei que era fogos, estava muito próximo.. Vi junto com Naya..
---------
Tenho mais relatos.
Um homem diz estar de frente para o convento e o meteorito foi em direção ao próprio convento
Ele também afirma que ficou no céu por mais de 40 segundos.
Uma mulher diz que ele foi em sentido Espírito Santo
Tudo indica grosseiramente isto mesmo, sentido Sudoeste - Nordeste
O que dizer sobre o vídeo do meteorito gravado em BH ?
-----
Estou falando com uma amiga que diz ter visto ele mt próximo do impacto.
Ela diz que provavelmente caiu mt perto dos canaviais por onde ela passava no momento (provavelmente, entre o ponto -"21.546264,-41.469312" e ponto "-21.584419,-41.429229")

Gabriel Fernandes-na noite do dia 20/04 eu estava na na pracinha jogando futebol no parque leopoldina em campos, quando de repente eu vi o bólido passando em direção a guarus, só que o que me impressionou foi a altura em que ele estava, pois estava muito baixo numa altura em que helicóptero sobrevoa. e achei que era muito grande pois estava muito perto.
on the night of 20/04 I was in the square playing football in the park Leopoldina infields, when suddenly I saw the fireball going toward guarus, only that whatimpressed me was the time when he was, who was too low at a time helicopter flies. and thought it was great because I was very close.

Breaking News - Goytacazes Campos, Brasil Bolide 20APR2012
Aproximadamente a las 23:20 del día 20 de abril, un meteoro fue visto pasando por encima de la ciudad de Campos dos Goytacazes, desde el suroeste al noreste. Según los últimos informes de personas que vieron la bola de fuego, fue muy luminosa y duró probablemente más de 10 segundos. La información se actualizará cuando se reciban más informes.

Queridos amigos de Marcelo, Luis Fernando, Guillermo, David y Octavio, que vihace un momento, a las 23 horas algo extraño en los cielos. Un objeto extraño,cuya forma no pudo identificar. Tenía la velocidad como la de un avión, pero tenía una cola larga de fuego en la dirección opuesta de su trayectoria.
Puede ser una tontería, pero si alguien más la presentación de informes algo,que es mi testimonio aquí registrados.

Fernando
Trinidad, vi lo mismo, el hombre .. ahora .. Pensé que eran fuegos artificiales,estaba muy cerca .. Vi con Naya ..
---------
Tengo más historias.
Un hombre dice que se enfrenta el convento y el meteorito era en la dirección del convento
También afirma que está en el cielo durante más de 40 segundos.
Una mujer dice que estaba en la dirección del Espíritu Santo
Todo indica que aproximadamente el mismo, sentido suroeste - noreste
¿Qué pasa con el vídeo grabado en la BH meteorito?

Estoy hablando con un amigo que dice haber visto mt cerca del impacto.
Ella dice que probablemente cayó mt cerca de los campos de caña donde pasóel tiempo (probablemente desde el punto - "21,546264, -41.469312," y punto "-21.584419, -41.429229")
==================
Carlos Barreto Dear friends Marcelo, Fernando Luis, David William and Octavius, I saw just now, at 23 hrs something strange across the skies. A foreign object, whose shape could not identify. He had speed like that of a plane, but had a long flaming tail in the opposite direction of its trajectory. It may be silly, but if anyone else reporting something, that it is my testimony here recorded.

Fernando Trinity
I saw the same thing, man .. just now .. I thought it was fireworks, was very close .. I saw with Naya .. ---------
I have more stories. A man says he is facing the convent and the meteorite was in the direction of the convent He also asserts that it is in the sky for more than 40 seconds. A woman says that he was in the direction the Holy Spirit Everything indicates that roughly the same, meaning Southwest - Northeast What about the video recorded in the meteorite BH?
-----
I'm talking with a friend who claims to have seen him mt near the impact. She says she probably fell near the cane fields where she spent the time (probably from the point - "21.546264, -41.469312," and point "-21.584419, -41.429229")

Um ponto luminoso que foi visto ontem, 20, à noite, na Grande Vitória, no Espirito Santo, foi registrado pelo cinegrafista da TV Tribuna, Francisco Abreu. É possível ver o momento em que o ponto se desfragmenta.
