We saw an explosion that substantially enlightened the sky over the Atlantic. We are located near from Morro de Sao Paolo (Brazil). The explosion was quite big and was yellow and red. It happens around 10:25pm at the south east. We don’t exactely know the trajectory of the object and we are not sure about It’s nature but we suspect it was a meteor. We heard a sound around 8min after the explosion. We don’t know if it was related to the explosion. However if it is the case, the meteor should have crashed around150km
