The bright fireball objects which were recently observed in the sky over Chile's southern island of Chiloe have sparked further speculation after officials from the National Geological and Mining Service of Chile announced that the flaming objects were not meteorites.

NASA has revealed that a huge meteor crashed into the Atlantic ocean earlier this month releasing energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT.

The meteor exploded on February 6 at 14:00 UTC in the air 620 miles (1,000km) off the coast of Brazil, with the force equivalent to an atomic bomb, but no one noticed it.

Romanian Andreea Chitu qualified on Tuesday in the semifinals of the women's 52 kg category at the World Judo Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Chitu will fight Turkmenistan's Gulbadam Babamuratova for a place in the final; the other semifinal will see Japanese judoka Misato Nakamura take on Brazil's Erika Miranda.
