Watch: Ear-Piercing Explosion, Smoke-Trail As Meteor Plummets To Earth In Cuba

Both residents and tourists in the town of Vinales, located in western Cuba, claim to have witnessed a flare passing through the sky that was followed by a massive explosion – an incident that state media and NASA-affiliated organizations are attributing to a meteorite.

Last Friday, a "ball of fire and smoke trails" appeared in the sky and people in the area claimed that there was a rain of small black stones that didn’t cause any injuries or damage in Pinar del Rio province.

Other witnesses, in places like Havana, claim to just have heard explosions.

Cuban media quickly denounced the idea that it was a plane crash and called the incident a "natural physical phenomenon". A team of specialists from Cuba's Geophysics and Astronomy institute was mobilized and sent to Pinar del Rio in order to try and confirm whether not it was a meteor strike.

You can hear the audio of the explosion at about 45 seconds through the following video, which shows locals gazing at a trail of smoke in the sky before becoming visibly and audibly shaken by the explosion.

Additional photos and tweets appear to show meteor fragments and radar possibly detecting the object above western Cuba at one point.
