“Small meteoroids completely disintegrate in the atmosphere. Larger meteoroids, on the other hand, will survive the atmosphere and eventually hit the ground and produce a loud booming sound. Recovered pieces of these meteoroids are called meteorites,” it added.
Earlier, reports came out about residents of the two Palawan towns being surprised to see debris covered in bright light moving almost horizontally before falling down and exploding.
