A mysterious space object caused an alarm in Gran Canaria last Wednesday afternoon. According to official sources, the object crossed La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera, south of Tenerife and passed through Gran Canaria to eventually plunge into the sea on the north coast between the municipalities of Arucas and Gia.

The loud noise created by the trajectory of the object caused alarm among the population in different parts of the island. A subsequent fire in the area suggested that it was due to a meteorite impact, which was later ruled out.

When he entered the Canary sky, a glowing object of intense red color was seen, followed by a smoky trail. He crossed the western islands in the direction of Gran Canaria.

The alarm began at 15:39. last Wednesday, when dozens of people called 112, reporting "air shocks", the origin of which has not yet been established.

According to sources in the emergency services, at the moment they did not have to intervene and information about the incident is being collected.

"I don't know the origin, but the tremors were quite strong. Not only the windows, floor and walls were shaking, but a sound similar to a distant explosion was heard in the background," the Twitter user said. @meteograncanaria.com .

The National Geographic Institute has registered the shock, but still does not specify its origin. The authorities are trying to find out the reason for the big noise that keeps Gran Canaria in suspense this Wednesday.

Although it is believed that it was a meteorite, it has not yet been proven. They say it was a 3-foot-long object that would have weighed many tons.

Such an object will cause a huge tidal wave when it falls into the sea, and this does not seem to be the case here. So, was it a meteorite or something else that fell into the sea?
