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."

Dozens Report "Fireball" Streak Across the Sky Sunday Night

Lynchburg, VA - Dozens of viewers, nearing over 100 as of Sunday Night, report seeing a very bright "fireball" streak across the night sky.

Witnesses report a vivid tail of fire-like red particles extending from the fireball.

The fireball was likely a large, or close meteor. These events are more common than many people think.

Debris from space enter Earth's atmosphere all of the time and burn up in our sky as meteors. Occasionally, a meteor will be vivid or large enough to be described as a "fireball".

Fireball Lights up Night Sky North of Philadelphia Pennsylvania (Jan 21)

Just before midnight on Monday, a bright flash occurred, lighting up the entire sky.

"It was a bright fireball," said Thomas Cupillari, director of the Thomas G. Cupillari '60 Observatory at Keystone College.

The all sky camera at the observatory caught footage of the fireball.

"This fireball was so bright it lit up the entire sky around it.  It's very unusual for them to be so bright and last that long."

The camera is in a network with Sandia National Laboratory through New Mexico State University. They are set up at various locations so common events that overlap can be tracked.

"Regular meteors can be seen on clear nights and sometimes you can see several in one night, but fireballs aren't very common," Cupillari said. "One night our camera picked up 32 meteors and none of them were fireballs."

He added that when virtually all meteors are captured, the sky is black, but the one on Monday night lit up the sky.

Fireball Blazes Across Nevada/California Skies (Jan 17)

A fireball spotted across a wide swath of the West from Reno to San Francisco might have broken up over the Pacific Ocean, experts said Friday.

The American Meteor Society based in New York said it had received reports from about 50 people in California and Nevada who saw the brilliant streak of light at 5:21 a.m. Thursday, spokesman Robert Lunsford said.

Lunsford said most of the reports came from the San Francisco Bay Area, but the fireball also was seen around Reno, and in San Diego and Redding, Calif. Most people described seeing an intense flash of blue or white light.

"It looks like it was heading from east to west, so it may have made it into the ocean," Lunsford told The Associated Press. "Most of the people who saw it were heading off to work in the dark, and say it lit up the ground like it was almost daylight."

Ronald Normandin was driving to work in Vacaville, Calif., when the fireball lit up the inside of his car.

"It looked like it was real close. It had a long streak of light, and the front part appeared to be huge and a squarish shape," he said.

Marnie Mattice, of Reno, said she was jogging with a friend when she saw the meteor light up the sky "kind of like lightning," then appear like "a very bright signal flare" in the distance.

"It wasn't symmetrical like a star, but more of an irregular circle. As it burned out, it left a trail and what appeared to be smaller glowing particles. It lasted long enough that we could stand and watch it burn out completely," she said.

Bright Fireball and Loud Booms Witnessed Across Inland Pacific Northwest (Jan 11)

http://www.krem.com/news/local/Mysterious-light-seen-streaking-acro...

http://www.khq.com/story/20562952/what-was-that-bright-light-in-the...

"I heard a boom. My driveway lit up. It was so bright and I thought is was a car coming up the driveway. I looked up in the sky to the west side of my driveway and saw the shooting star. It was very bright and fell from the sky like a flare gun would. It was a very bright. Vanished as it fell from the sky. Crazy! I went inside and told my daughter Ashlee."

"I heard a loud boom here in the valley. Sounded like when power boxes explode only louder. Ben Howard Up in North Spokane, I saw the sky light up and watched a shooting star like object fall from the sky. 5 minutes later I heard a rumble/expansion."

"I went outside at 6:25 this morning to warm up my vehicle when I saw a flash of light. I look up at the sky and see what appears to be a shooting star only 10 times the size. I saw it through the haze of the sky. It had a tail on it as well. Any idea what it is?"

"What just happened? I saw a huge green glowing ball fly across the sky oveR my house on North Five Mile going NW to SE at around 6:25...about 2 minutes later I heard a loud explosion sound in the direction of the valley??????"

"I witnessed the bright flash at 0620hrs Friday morning from my back yard at Fairchild AFB. It was a meteor entering the atmosphere. I noticed the bright flash and looked up to see the meteor traveling southeast. The flash was from the meteor breaking apart. The explosion heard was the sonic boom from the high speed it was traveling at and impacting the thick atmosphere due to pressure and friction. Based on a rough count, the sonic boom followed roughly 30 seconds after seeing the flash. From my perspective, it did not impact the ground and exploded in the air. The entire visible flash lasted roughly 6 seconds."

"I was shoveling snow at 6:25 at my house on the south hill. All of the sudden everything lit up around me. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a meteor falling and breaking up. It was straight up in the southern horizon and appeared to be falling to the south. It was bright, slightly blue-green and appeared to break up in three sections. It streamed towards the ground like fireworks and faded in about 2-3 seconds. I started shoveling again and heard one of the loudest thunder sounds that I've ever heard about 30 seconds later. It was quite spectacular. I have never seen anything like it. Wondering about what I saw and thinking that maybe I saw a flare or falling plane, I decided to call crime check and report what I saw around 6:30 a.m. After that, I did a little research on the Internet and learned that there are plenty of similar falling meteor reports documented on line. In many cases, people report thunder or a loud boom about 30 seconds after seeing the light."

Mysterious Fireball, Crash and Explosion in Sweden (Dec 11) -

Frightened residents in western Sweden reported seeing a bright, blue light racing across the night sky on Tuesday before an orange-coloured orb smashed into the ground in a mysterious phenomenon that has yet to be explained.

"It lit up the sky and flew over us, then we heard an explosion," witness Jessica Berg told the Aftonbladet newspaper.

"It was very weird. Uncomfortably weird."

Another witness, 24-year-old Sandra, thought the light may have been due to fireworks, but began to wonder when she never heard an accompanying pop.

"Then I thought it was a comet because it looked a little like an orb. It was red with a yellow sheen that surrounded and followed it," she told the paper.

"It looked like something was falling from the sky like in a film, like Armageddon or something.

"I've never seen anything like it."

Aviation authorities were quick to rule out initial theories that a plane had crashed somewhere deep in the forests of Värmland County.

They, as well as police, suspect the mysterious night light and thunderous blast that prompted a flood of calls from concerned residents may have been caused by a meteorite.

The first calls to emergency service SOS came around 10.25pm from Forshaga, a town about 25 kilometres north of Karlstad.

More calls came from Stöllet, Ekshärad and Karlstad, and on Facebook, police in Sunne reported a rumbling reminiscent of an earthquake.

"And we've also received information that people on the west coast and even in Finland made observations," Svensson told TT.

Neither police or other authorities have plans to investigate the strange sound and light phenomena.
