Xogta Aasaaska: Qorraxda iyo Qorraxda ee Spain-ga – Ma ahan Meteor, Laakiin Waa Qorraxda Hawada
Video 24-ka kaddib, oo laga duubay Spain, ayaa muujinaya qorrax yar oo ka baxday qorraxda, taas oo dadka ku doonayay inay tahay meteor, laakiin baaritaanka ayaa muujiyay inay tahay qorraxda hawada ee samada.

A 24-frame-per-second video shot in Spain on August 12, 2026, at 20:28 local time appeared to show a meteor during the peak of the Perseids meteor shower, but astronomers have now identified the object as an airplane contrail.
The Video That Sparked a Mystery
A short video captured at 24 frames per second in Spain at coordinates 40°34'30.3"N 1°12'28.8"W on August 12, 2026, at 20:28 local time, appeared to show a bright object streaking across the sky during the peak of the Perseids meteor shower.
The footage was shared widely online, with many viewers asking whether the object was a meteor or something else entirely, given its apparent brightness and trajectory against a partially eclipsed Sun.
Why the Object Did Not Behave Like a Meteor
Astronomers noted that the object's path traced back toward the Perseids' radiant point in the Perseus constellation, which initially supported the meteor theory, but the object trailed a smaller angle on the sky than the 0.5 degree Sun and Moon.
Its brightness did not extend much past the Sun, yet a meteor burning up in the sky would not need sunlight to be seen, raising the question of whether sunlight was reflecting off the object instead.
The Final Answer: An Airplane Contrail
After cross-referencing the location, time, and point in the sky with a flight database, NASA astronomer Juan Pablo Castañeda confirmed that the culprit was an airplane contrail, not a meteor.
The explanation was published on August 19, 2026, by editors Keighley Rockcliffe, Robert Nemiroff, Jerry Bonnell, and Cecilia Chirenti, concluding the case of the mysterious maybe meteor.
