Over the Canadian Prairies exploded in a huge fiery object

A huge fiery object exploded over the Canadian Prairie in the night from Friday to Saturday, informs "si-bi-si". Most likely, the "meteor" was the first stage of the carrier rocket and entered the Earth's atmosphere, bringing reserves to the ISS.

Residents of Saskatchewan and Alberta became witnesses of how the sky crossed a bright strip of light. It was a mysterious object that broke apart and burned during the fall.

Eyewitnesses speculated about the nature of the phenomenon. Some considered him a burning plane, others a meteor. Many have posted videos on social networks and on YouTube in search of answers.

Most likely, the "fireball" was a part of the body of the rocket Antares, which launched the spacecraft "Cygnus" to the ISS.

North American scientists who are tracking the body of the rocket online, tied by a bright light that was seen on the Prairie with the time and location of the point of return of the rocket into the atmosphere.

According to Aerospace Corporation, the missile was launched on November 12 for an additional delivery of inventory on the ISS. It was predicted that part of the rocket back to the atmosphere at 23:09 Central standard time on Friday.
