March 26, 2020: The object seen in the Nepali sky Thursday evening is probably a fireball or a bolide, The Nepal Astronomical Society (NASO) said.
Meanwhile, NASO has urged Gandaki province residents to share any evidence of the object observed entering the atmosphere.
A bright object was seen in western Nepal mainly reported from Pokhara, Syanga and Baglung with loud crashing sound heard around 8pm.
A bolide is an extremely bright meteor, especially one that explodes in the atmosphere.
