Witnesses in Galicia reported a fireball, and a hillside near Cando was found torn up, with trees uprooted and earth thrown about.
1994 CE · 42.80, -8.60 · status: disputed
The account
On 18 January 1994 people reported a bright object and loud noise; a scientific team led by Jesús Martínez-Frías examined the crater-like scar and proposed a 'Tunguska-like' event caused by a small icy body.
The sceptical view
Other researchers argued the damage fits a landslide, and the fireball sighting may have been separate; no meteorite material was found.
