Mysterious Roar And Light In The Sky Wake Mexican City:
Residents in a Mexican city woke in fright before dawn on Saturday to bright light in the sky and then a thunderous noise, fearing a nearby volcano had suddenly erupted.
But officials said Popocatepetl volcano had not stirred and no earthquake had registered.
Instead, the phenomena witnessed by the inhabitants of Puebla de Zaragoza, a city of three million people 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Mexico City, was “most likely a meteor,” the local Astronomic Society tweeted.
Social media was captivated by the strange weekend sights and sounds–lots of scared people below felt the sky was falling.
People were terrified..
So many thought it was an explosion..
The upper atmosphere glowed.
And the booms resounded through the city.
