Meteorite explodes over Cuba (video)

Cuba apparently experienced a phenomenon similar to but smaller than the meteor that exploded over Russia, media reported. Startled residents described a bright light and explosion that shook windows and walls.

No injuries or damage was reported.

In a video from a state TV newscast posted on the website CubaSi late Friday, unidentified residents of the central city of Rodas, near Cienfuegos, said the explosion was impressive.

"My home shook completely," a woman in the video said. "I had never heard such a strange thing."

Five to 10 small meteorites hit the planet each year. Events like the one over Russia are rarer. It was the biggest since a meteor hit Siberia in 1908.
