[People News] On the evening of November 6, residents in Beijing and nearby provinces observed a "fireball meteor," which may have led to a meteorite falling. In traditional culture, such meteors are often seen as bad omens.

As reported by New Tang Dynasty Television, numerous netizens in Beijing shared posts on the evening of the 6th, claiming to have seen a "fireball meteor" in the southwestern sky.

Mr Wu, a Beijing resident, recounted that around 6:30 PM that evening, while he was at the Sihuan Bridge on the Jingmi Expressway, he suddenly spotted a large fireball descending rapidly at an angle of about 30 degrees towards the ground. He described the "fireball meteor" as very bright and colourful, lasting only two to three seconds, and he did not manage to capture a photo.

Another netizen from Beijing also reported seeing the fireball meteor around 6:30 PM. He was on Wan'an East Road in Haidian District at the time and initially felt a bit frightened, but later found out that many others had witnessed the same event.

A female netizen recorded an incredible moment on her dashcam, capturing a "fireball meteor" that suddenly appeared in the night sky, growing brighter as it descended before disappearing behind the street trees.

Residents in surrounding regions, including Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia, also reported sightings of this "fireball meteor."

A netizen from Zhangjiakou City in Hebei Province reported that the "fireball" he witnessed was incredibly striking, displaying green, yellow, and red lights. Subsequently, the fireball passed through the clouds, illuminating even the cloud layer.

Zhu Jin, the former director of the Beijing Planetarium, confirmed that this was indeed a "fireball," and such meteors have the potential to leave behind meteorites.

In ancient Chinese literature, meteorites are often depicted as ominous signs, associated with disasters on Earth or the deaths of prominent figures. For instance, the "Song History" documents phenomena such as the sky turning red and meteors falling into the sea prior to the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In March 1976, the largest meteor shower in the world occurred in Jilin. That same year, three high-ranking members of the Communist Party—Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Mao Zedong—passed away. Additionally, the Tangshan earthquake, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of fatalities, also took place that year.

Since last year, various strange occurrences have surfaced within the upper ranks of the Communist Party. Retired U.S. Air Force General Blaine Holt warned in Newsweek that the Communist Party is nearing collapse, and Xi Jinping may become its final leader. △
