Fireballs on the Rise
There are increasing meteor reports recently all over the world. More debris from the Px tail...
ZetaTalk: Live Chat, written November 21, 2009
- "When the debris from the tail of Planet X first started arriving in ernest, in 2004, the establishment chose to call this space junk. When the public became alarmed at the amount of space junk falling to Earth they tried to enhance the story by claiming that two satellites had crashed into each other, but this just made a bad story worse. Since fireballs have not gone away, but continued apace and if anything gotten worse, a new term has been used - asteroids. This is debris in the tail of Planet X, which is increasingly turning toward the Earth, hosed out from the N Pole of Planet X. This is why the wobble has gotten more violent, why electromagnetic disruption of dams and airplanes has occurred, and why blackouts will become more frequent. There will also be displays in the sky, some of which has already been noticed, from the electromagnetic tides assaulting the Earth's atmosphere. Stay tuned, more to come!"

Reports of a "bright light" and an "orange glow" were received by police across Scotland and the north of England around 9.40pm.
The Met Office tweeted: "Hi All, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated" with calls about a bright object in the sky across the west of Scotland. A Durham Police spokeswoman said a number of calls came in around 9.45pm from concerned members of public who had seen a "bright light or a fire in the sky" and believed it may have been incidents involving an aircraft. "
It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "
The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only." Grampian Police said reports of people seeing a "flare or a bright object with a tail" were received from across the region. And Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said numerous calls were made about a "large ball of fire in the sky" across Annandale and Eskdale.
One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: "It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!" Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England. People described seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky with a large tail.
The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling from north to south over Northumberland at 9.41pm. The Observatory posted on Twitter: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

Mysterious fireball spotted over Cornwall
It was described as big and very bright with red flames coming from it
15:37, 15 FEB 2019
A large and mysterious fireball with ‘lots of flames coming from it’ was spotted in the skies over Cornwall.
According to reports, the unidentified object looked like a meteor and was really slow and big.
It was reported over Crackington Haven at about 10.30pm and the Kernow Weather Team (KWT) received another report of the sighting over West Cornwall at about 10.15pm.
The KWT took to their Facebook page to appeal for more information.
Its post reads: “Strange sighting over West Cornwall, February 14, 2019, 10.15pm ish.
“We have tonight, had a report of one of our followers seeing what can only be described as a large meteor or fireball, lots of flames coming from it.
“If you saw this or even better, captured an image, get in touch we would love to hear more about what you have seen.”
Tony Bowden, who reported the body to the KWT, explained in the comments: “What I saw wasn't green, and it was in the atmosphere, and coming down with red flames from it. Possibly a small section of the comet broke off.”
Several social media users replied that they did see the phenomenon.
Annette Knight commented: “Yes, yes I saw it. Just happened to look out of the window and saw it coming down. Really slow and big.”
Sarah Myford added: “I did see something odd in the east last night around 10.30 pm (ish) driving back through Slaughterbridge near Delabole, I thought it was a firework, but it might not have been.”
Jenna Rose Tregurtha wrote: “I saw it in Crowlas looking towards St Michael’s Mount... Very bright and it was thicker than your ordinary shooting star.”
Linsey Shenton commented: “I am south east Cornwall and I saw one last night whilst outside with the dogs never seen anything like it before.”
Bright fireballs and individual meteors will become more frequent in the next few days as part of the annual “spring meteors”.
They typically grow in intensity between February and April.
But the next major meteor shower will not start until late April when the Lyrid meteors break out into the atmosphere.

Meteor fireball streaks over Westside Jacksonville
Night sky lights up across Florida
Posted: 1:22 PM, February 13, 2019
JACKSONVILLE, Fla - Several people watched the night sky light up from Jacksonville's Westside down to Melbourne Tuesday night. Vivian Parrish, in the Rolling Hills neighborhood of the Westside shared video from her doorbell camera of a fireball streaking across the sky.
Even though it happened at 2 a.m., Vivian was not the only one to see the dropping fireball around that time. A woman in Middleburg saw a very bright light bigger than a full moon but didn’t hear a sonic boom.
The American Meteor Society, which collects reports on fireball and meteor sightings, shows four other sightings -- from Middleburg to Palm Bay, in South Florida.
Meteoroids commonly burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere but they are not always noticed because of sunlight. Bigger space rocks may not vaporize completely in the sky before hitting the ground.
These meteorites are rare but often display an awesome streak in the sky. A rock that weighs as much as a paperclip can trigger a fireball by slamming into the atmosphere at 130,000 mph.
This was the case Feb. 1 when a meteor passed over Ft. Myers and struck western Cuba.

Fireball over Spain 2-12-2019
The sighting occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday in points of Galicia, Asturias, León and Cantabria.
A bolide - or cosmic stone - has been sighted on the afternoon of this Tuesday on the northern sky of Galicia, Asturias, León and Cantabria.
This was explained by the director of the Astronomical Observatory Ramón María Aller of the University of Santiago (USC), José Ángel Docobo, who said that "most likely" is that it was "a cosmic stone that entered the atmosphere". "It was observed in the north of Spain: Galicia, León, Asturias and Cantabria," he commented, adding that they estimate that "if something fell, it fell in the Cantabrian Sea".

Large Meteor Cruises Over Colorado, Fireball Seen From 3 Other States
February 8, 2019 at 3:01 pm
DENVER (CBS4) – Several people witnessed a large fireball traveling high in the sky over Colorado early Thursday evening. It left a smoke trail that lasted for several minutes according to reports.
A CBS4 viewer in Morrison emailed and said, “I just saw a meteor fall over the western side of town. I was looking west. It left a contrail and was big. ”
The following video was submitted to our partners at KKTV in Colorado Springs. You can see the fireball just to the left of the traffic light.
Cloudbait Observatory says the fireball occurred at 6:13 pm and was widely seen in Colorado, especially along the Front Range. It was also witnessed by people in Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming according to the American Meteor Society.
Preliminary analysis from the Cloudbait Observatory indicates the fireball was likely overhead in the area around Ridgway and Ouray, Colorado. Scientists are still working to determine more information about the path of travel where it may have landed.

Did you see a fireball in the skies over Milton Keynes?
Tuesday 22 January 2019
Published: 17:34 Tuesday 22 January 2019
Read more at: https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/our-region/milton-keynes/did-you-see...A commuter is convinced he saw a meteor over Central Milton Keynes station at 6.30 this morning. The man was locking up his bicycle when he saw a bright white object travel slowly downwards in the direction of the Network Rail building. He watched as it broke up into smaller red-coloured fragments. "It was about the same brightness as a firework and lasted for about 5-6 seconds. It was travelling much slower than a shooting star," he said. The commuter added: "It seemed a strange time for someone to be setting off fireworks, so I googled for meteor reports and saw that people all over the country had also reported it at exactly the same time." The astronomy website UKMON does indeed report other sighting around the country at exactly the same time.

VIDEO: 'Fireball' meteor streaks across Virginia sky Wednesday morning
Posted: Jan 09, 2019 01:48 PM EST
Updated: Jan 09, 2019 04:20 PM EST
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A 'fireball' meteor lit up the Virginia sky shortly before sunrise on Wednesday.
A video posted by Twitter user 'Midlo Snow Maker' shows the meteor streaking across the sky at Smith Mountain Lake in Penhook, Virginia.
8News received several other calls from viewers who witnessed the 'fireball,' which the American Meteor Society (AMS) describes as "a meteor brighter than the planet Venus."
AMS said on their website that they received over 190 reports about the fireball, which occurred around 6:35 a.m., and was seen from New York State to North Carolina.
According to AMS, the fireball ended its flight somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Norfolk, Virginia.

Fireball?
Based on our first analysis, it looks like the event was a fireball. A fireball is another term for a very bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same magnitude of the planet Venus currently visible in the morning sky.
Several thousand meteors of fireball magnitude occur in the Earth’s atmosphere each day. The vast majority of these, however, occur over the oceans and uninhabited regions, and a good many are masked by daylight. Those that occur at night also stand little chance of being detected due to the relatively low numbers of persons out to notice them.
Additionally, the brighter the fireball, the more rare is the event. As a general thumb rule, there are only about 1/3 as many fireballs present for each successively brighter magnitude class, following an exponential decrease. Experienced observers can expect to see only about 1 fireball of magnitude -6 or better for every 200 hours of meteor observing, while a fireball of magnitude -4 can be expected about once every 20 hours or so.
So, if you saw this one: congrats, it’s a nice way start the year!
