Netizens expressed fears after seeing the bright lights and hearing the “extremely loud explosion” that followed shortly.
Others said it could be a space rocket from China, launched from Xichang, Sichuan province, on Dec. 29 last year. After China’s announcement, the Philippine Space Agency issued an advisory on the possibility of debris from the launch, including the rocket’s booster and payload fairing, falling within the West Philippine Sea, particularly near Recto Bank and Ayungin Shoal.Meanwhile, PhilSA released a statement clarifying that the “phenomenon is highly unlikely to be related to the Long March 7A and the Long March 3B rockets.
“The Long March 7A rocket was launched on Monday, 09 January, while the sighting and supposed explosion happened on the evening of 07 January,” the statement read. It also explained that expected unburned debris from the Long March 3B rocket, launched into orbit on Dec. 29, had already fallen on the drop zone area near Palawan.But on Monday, PhilSA clarified that the falling and glowing object in the sky could be a meteoroid.
