  "Vídeo do fireball desta madrugada capturados pelas estações GYM (Goiânia, GO) e MAD1 (Sobradinho, DF)
Este fireball foi um visitante cósmico interessante smile emoticon
  O fireball foi muito lento, sua velocidade variou entre 14,7km/s e 9,4km/s, velocidade próxima daquela esperada a reentradas de objetos artificiais em órbita. Sua órbita ainda era quase coplanar a órbita da Terra, ainda sua velocidade relativa a nosso planeta (Velocidade Geocêntrica) era extremamente baixa, 5.1km/s
  Algo notável no espectro do fireball é a relação da intensidade das linhas de Sódio (NaI) e Magnésio (MgI), o Sódio apresenta uma emissão muito intensa ao contrário do observado para o Magnésio, isso pode ser explicado pela velocidade atmosférica do fireball: o Sódio tem um baixo potencial de ionização, o inverso ocorre com o Magnésio.
  Assim um meteoro em uma velocidade muito baixa (apresentando portanto temperaturas mais baixas de seu plasma) apresentará maior intensidade de emissão de Na em relação ao Mg."---

"Video fireball captured by this morning GYM stations (Goiânia, GO) and MAD1 (Sobradinho, DF)
This fireball was an interesting cosmic visitor smile emoticon
The fireball was very slow, its speed varied between 14,7km / s 9,4km / s, nearly the speed that expected the re-entry of artificial objects in orbit. Its orbit was still nearly coplanar Earth's orbit, although its relative speed to our planet (Geocentric Speed) was extremely low, 5.1km / s
Something noteworthy fireball in the spectrum is the ratio of the intensity of Sodium lines (NaI) and magnesium (MgI), Sodium presents a very intense emission contrary to that observed for Mg, this can be explained by the air speed fireball: the Sodium has a low ionization potential, the reverse occurs with magnesium.
Thus a meteor at a very low speed (therefore having the lowest temperatures of their plasma) display higher emission intensity of In with respect to Mg. "

Thank you Carlos!

I hurriedly went to the roof and saw that the stone as about 5 cm by 5 cm on the roof is down.

When I was little it was hot. The stone penetrated the roof Insulation strangely small pieces of cement reached and it was time to spread. Even fragments of rock the birds nest was broken and I was surprised that account without manipulation stone I began to look around to see if an instance of it myself or not.
