Panic as explosions rock Argentinian city - but relief as experts realise what to blame: a huge 1,500mph meteor entering the Earth's atmosphere!
Residents of a city in southern Argentina got a scare when a series of powerful explosions shook homes and buildings, but the cause turned out to be a natural wonder: a meteor disintegrating overhead.
It was an ordinary Wednesday afternoon in General Roca, a city of 85,000 people, when suddenly a series of loud blasts caused buildings to shake and windows to rattle.
"Everything trembled," said Martin Soria, the local mayor.
Police, firefighters and emergency workers rushed to the scene, but found no evidence of a bomb, earthquake or calamity.
Finally, scientists pieced together the reason: A meteor had entered the Earth's atmosphere some 10,000 metres (33,000 feet) overhead, traveling at 1,500 miles per hour.
"It took everyone by surprise because it entered the atmosphere over an inhabited area. If it had fallen over the desert, the sea, Antarctica, we would never have known," said astronomer Roberto Figueroa, head of the nearby Neuquen observatory.
He estimated Wednesday's meteor measured about 12 metres in diameter before breaking into three fragments.
"It was likely a mineral meteor that entered the atmosphere at high speed at a very close angle to the Earth. As soon as it contacted the (atmospheric) gases, it heated up, the stone dilated, broke apart and fell as ash," he said.
"Some of the larger pieces may have reached the lower layers of the atmosphere and burned up there. Since they arrived at tremendous speed, they produced an expansive wave that could be heard as a boom." Daily Mail Read More>>>>>
Obama says U.S. 'not as divided as some have suggested'
Warsaw, Poland (CNN)Frankly acknowledging a "tough week" in the United States after anxious days of shootings and racial tensions, President Barack Obama said Saturday that he did not believe the United States was "as divided as some have suggested."
"There is sorrow, there is anger, there is confusion about next steps," Obama said during a news conference in Poland. "But there's unity in recognizing that this is not how we want our communities to operate. This is not who we want to be as Americans."
Speaking for the third time in Poland about the gun violence that's seized communities in the United States, Obama said the situation didn't resemble the periods of mass social unrest in the 1960s.
"You're not seeing riots, you're not seeing police going after people who are protesting peacefully," he said.
But he acknowledged a ramped-up anxiety that's descended on Americans as they watch seemingly unfettered violence on urban streets.
"Americans of all races and all backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police, whether it's in Dallas or anywhere else," Obama said. "That includes protesters, that includes family members who have grave concerns about police misconduct, and they've said this is unacceptable. There's no division there." CNN Read More>>>>>
SECOND DOOM EVENT
President Obama cutting Spain trip short to rush back to the U.S. in light of Dallas police shooting
It took the White House more than seven years to lock in Spain on President Barack Obama's foreign travel schedule.
But events beyond Obama's control have turned his first and only visit to Spain, the largest European country that had yet to welcome the president, into a rushed one.
Instead of spending two days sightseeing in southern Spain and tending to more official business in the capital of Madrid, the White House scrapped some of Obama's events – including a staple of his foreign travels, a question-and-answer forum with young adults – and crammed the rest of his schedule into Sunday.
Deadly shootings last week of black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, followed by the sniper killings of five police officers in Dallas, led Obama to make the unusual choice to return to the White House late Sunday, a day earlier than originally planned.
President Obama will head to Dallas on Tuesday and speak at an interfaith memorial service for the five fallen officers. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>
Pictured: Wife who was sat in the crowd as her Spanish matador husband was gored to death - the first bullfighter killed in 30 years
The wife of a top bullfighter looked on in horror as her husband was gored to death during a festival in eastern Span.
Victor Barrio, 29, from Segovia was fighting in Teruel, Aragon in eastern Spain when the bull speared him through the chest.
His wife, Raquel Sanz, 32, was in the crowd, having organised a group of supporters from their home town to attend the event.
Ms Sanz, who married Barrio in 2014, was said to be 'devastated' as she saw her husband lying motionless on the ground, according to El Espanol.
The matador was taken to hospital unconscious but doctors could not do 'anything' to resuscitate him and save his life.
He rolled to the ground in a painful somersault after the 87 stone beast caught him while he tried to deflect it with 'muletazo' manoeuvre, reports La Razon.es. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>>
Unusual event: Fr. John Zuhlsdorf has been advertising on his blog for the last few months a Pontifical Mass to be celebrated by the Bishop of Madison on July 1st - the intention of the Mass is protection and safety of persecuted Christians.
On 1 July, His Excellency Most Reverend Robert C. Morlino, by the grace of God and the Apostolic See Bishop of Madison (aka The Extraordinary Ordinary), sang a Pontifical Mass at the Throne in the Roman Rite’s traditional form.
Holy Mass was offered for the intention of Persecuted Christians around the globe. In addition to the orations for the Most Precious Blood, orations were added from the beautiful Mass “in tempore belli… in time of war”.
His Excellency granted a plenary indulgence, under the normal conditions, to all those who participated.

Strange? The fruit of the Pontifical Mass said by the Bishop of Madison is the death a college student who attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Madison student was murdered and his body was thrown into the Tiber River in Rome:
The body of an American teenager was found in Rome on Monday, after a four-day search for the student who went missing hours after arriving in Italy to attend a summer school program.
The body of Beau Solomon, 19, was found by police in the Tiber river. He had arrived in the Italian capital on Thursday evening and went missing later that night, after going out with fellow students.
The group had walked around 10 minutes from John Cabot university accommodation to G-Bar in the Trastevere neighbourhood, a picturesque area popular with American students and tourists, where Solomon was last seen at around 1am.
Assuming he had gone home, John Cabot students returned to their residence. On realising Solomon was missing they returned to the bar to look for him. The alarm was raised on Friday after he failed to turn up for registration at the university.

Tiber River is significant in the history of the Catholic Martyrs.
Many Christian Martyrs were thrown into the Tiber upon their death at the hands of the wicked.
The student from Madison may or may not be a Catholic. There is no news on the boy's religion. But it would be strange to have the Bishop of Madison celebrate the funeral mass for the boy who was celebrating a Pontifical Mass to protect Christians from persecution during the same moment a College Student from Madison was murdered and thrown into the Tiber!
