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."

Massive fireball brings people to TEARS as it lights up the skies over Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida - leaving some fearing 'Armageddon'

• A massive and incredibly bright comet tore through the sky earlier this month to the amazement of many witnesses in the US southern states 
• The American Meteor Society reported receiving 50 sightings of the giant fireball across six states 
• One moved witness said they thought it was the end of days: 'I found myself looking for a mushroom cloud or Armageddon' 

One witness from Gulfport, Mississippi said 'it was incredible' and 'very large.'

'It was still the size of a car when it went behind the trees,' they added.

Dash and ring cameras across the south picked up the other-worldly sighting and have subsequently circulated online. 

Several additional witnesses said it was by far the largest and brightest falling object they'd ever seen.

One from Frankston, Texas said they'd 'seen falling stars but nothing like this.'

'It was very clear and very vivid. I could see the heat coming off front circling around in a flame and trailing a trail of fire behind its path.'

Another witness from New Orleans said they were alarmed by the event, and thought it perhaps was the end.

'The magnitude of what I saw had me bracing for a catastrophic event. I was driving on a freeway when it happened and found myself looking for a mushroom cloud or Armageddon,' they said. 

One person in Cheneyville, Louisiana said the comet looked like it landed in some nearly fields, though it is still not clear exactly where it did land.

While the witness did not feel an explosion or any other sort of tremor, they emphasized the visuals of the experience from earlier this month.

'There wasn't an explosion that I am aware of but there was a flash, a flash that is a lot like fireworks going off that lights up everything for a brief moment,' they said.

In Alabama, one witness said the meteor nearly brought about tears.

'I have never seen anything like it at all. This was no shooting star. This was something much bigger and outstanding. I cannot even describe the spectacle it was.'

Last week, it was reported that witnesses across Louisiana caught a glimpse of the mysterious meteor - some theorizing that what they saw was alien life touching down in a UFO. 

'That ain't no meteor, that's an alien ship warping into our space and time,' one person said of the doorbell footage. 

'UFO must've stopped to get a poboy,' joked another person, referring to a sandwich originally from Louisiana.

Heard a big bang': Nevada County man wonders if meteorite destroyed his house

The Taurids meteor shower was set to peak this weekend but it's unclear what caused the house fire

NEVADA COUNTY, Calif. —

Northern California officials are looking into if the bright ball of light seen in the sky Friday night is a meteorite that landed on and destroyed a Nevada County home.

Witnesses came from all over the region following the path of the bright ball in the sky to see where it landed and that path might have led to Dustin Procita's home. He was inside the house with his two dogs when he said something hit his home and started a fire.

"I heard a big bang," he said. "I started to smell smoke. I went onto my porch and it was completely engulfed in flames."

Procita lives in a quiet, rural area of rolling hills where cattle graze.

He said the area is home to multi-generational cattle farmers and ranchers. He had just fed the cows and sat on the couch listening to music when it hit his home.

He managed to save his rat terrier dog and tried to get back inside for his other family dog, but couldn't save him. The dog died in the fire.

"I tried to go around to the windows but fire and smoke was dumping through and I couldn’t see inside," Procita said.

Penn Valley Fire Department Captain Josh Miller said they had a call around 7:30 p.m. for a structure fire but because of the secluded location, knew they would have a firefight on their hands.

"Wide, open spaces and this was out on a farm, a cattle ranch area with not much around it," Miller said.

His firefighters, along with Smartsville Fire Department and CalFire, battled the flames for several hours.

It appears the bright ball of light captured on car and home videos landed in the middle of nowhere. Procita believes a meteor landed on his house.

"I always watched meteor showers as a kid but I didn't want them landing in my yard or through my roof," he said.

Miller said he didn't see the bright ball in the sky.

"Everyone I talked to said it was a flaming ball falling from the sky and landed in that general area," Miller said.

Miller said witnesses started arriving on the scene and are looking into if a meteorite caused the fire in the rural area.

"I had one individual tell me about it first and I put it in the back of my mind but then more people — 2, 3, 4 — started coming in and talking about it," he said.

Procita and his wife said they will pick up the pieces and realize maybe the odds are in their favor.

"They said it's a one in four trillion chance so I guess I might be buying a lottery ticket today," Procita said.

Miller said it will take about two weeks to determine the cause of the fire.

Taurid meteor showers are currently happening in the area, with the peak taking place on Saturday. NASA said there will be an increase of bright balls visible in the sky.

NASA’s DART Mission Will Intentionally Crash A Spacecraft Into A Small Asteroid To Test Planetary Defense Capabilities
On Nov. 23 at 10:21 p.m. PST/ Nov. 24 at 1:21 a.m. EST, NASA will be launching its first-ever mission to redirect an asteroid. This asteroid is not a danger to Earth, but NASA is ready to test planetary defense capabilities for the future; no super powers or drilling teams needed. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will be headed towards the asteroid Didymos and its small moon and impact target, Dimorphos. DART will intentionally collide with Dimorphos to alter the path of this small asteroid around the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA’s goal with DART is for us to be prepared with a planetary defense capability if an asteroid is ever discovered to be on a collision course with Earth in the future.
Small fragments of asteroids, from pebble-sized to person-sized, hit the Earth every day. Dimorphos is about the height of the Washington Monument (but much bulkier). An asteroid this big could cause severe damage if it were to collide with our planet. No known asteroid poses an impact threat to Earth for the next 100 years, but the danger from asteroids not yet discovered is still unknown. The DART mission will be the first of its kind to alter the path of an asteroid so we can observe how a real asteroid responds to a deflection attempt, should we ever need to deflect one.

Bright blue fireball caught on videos over Colorado

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/bright-blue-fireball-caught-on-vi...

More than 40 people reported a fireball sighting Sunday morning (Oct. 3), mainly over Colorado. The fireball was also seen in Wyoming and New Mexico and 12 people submitted videos to the American Meteor Society. 

In one video, captured on a porch camera in Commerce City, Colorado, the fireball appears to drop out of the sky in a blue blaze.

Another video, taken by Josh Ellis in Evergreen, Colorado, was shared with CBS Denver. Ellis said the fireball was so bright, it charged his solar lights.

"Everything was pitch dark, and all of a sudden it lit up as if it was a brightly lit moon," said Doug Robinson, who captured video of the fireball over Boulder, Colorado.

Fireballs are bright meteors categorized as brighter than the planet Venus, according to the society, a nonprofit that monitors meteors. 

About six people described hearing a boom during the Colorado fireball sighting, a society employee told CBS Denver. 

Chris Peterson, who works at the Cloudbait Observatory in the central Colorado Rocky Mountains, said the fireball spotted on Sunday was "descending very deep." 

"Ten or 20 miles may not seem very close to the ground, but when we think about typical burning stars, we're seeing things that are burning up 60 to 70 miles high," Peterson told CBS Denver. The observatory also recorded the fireball..."

"..Last week, NASA said a fireball fell over the North Carolina coast at about 32,000 miles per hour. It was one of at least five fireballs seen over the U.S. in the same night. 

The American Meteor Society received 148 fireball reports from Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia, and the fireball in North Carolina had the largest group of eyewitness accounts, with more than 80 people reporting it. The fireball was captured in at least two different videos. .."

Chinese researchers propose deflecting 'Armageddon' asteroids with rockets

BEIJING, July 7 (Reuters) - Chinese researchers want to send more than 20 of China's largest rockets to practice turning away a sizable asteroid - a technique that may eventually be crucial if a killer rock is on a collision course with Earth.

The idea is more than science fiction. Sometime between late 2021 to early 2022, the United States will launch a robotic spacecraft to intercept two asteroids relatively close to Earth.

When it arrives a year later, the NASA spacecraft will crash-land on the smaller of the two rocky bodies to see how much the asteroid's trajectory changes. It will be humanity's first try at changing the course of a celestial body.

At China's National Space Science Center, researchers found in simulations that 23 Long March 5 rockets hitting simultaneously could deflect a large asteroid from its original path by a distance 1.4 times the Earth's radius.

Their calculations are based on an asteroid dubbed Bennu, orbiting the sun, which is as wide as the Empire State Building is tall. It belongs to a class of rocks with the potential to cause regional or continental damage. Asteroids spanning more than 1 km would have global consequences.

The science center cited a recently published study in Icarus, a journal on planetary science.

Long March 5 rockets are key to China's near-term space ambitions - from delivering space station modules to launching probes to the Moon and Mars. China has successfully launched six Long March 5 rockets since 2016, with the last one causing some safety concerns as its remnants reentered the atmosphere in May.

"The proposal of keeping the upper stage of the launch rocket to a guiding spacecraft, making one large 'kinetic impactor' to deflect an asteroid, is a rather nice concept," said Professor Alan Fitzsimmons from the Astrophysics Research Centre at Queen's University Belfast.

"By increasing the mass hitting the asteroid, simple physics should ensure a much greater effect," Fitzsimmons told Reuters, although, he added, the actual operation of such a mission needs to be studied in greater detail.

Current estimates show there is roughly a 1% chance a 100-metre-wide asteroid would strike Earth in the next 100 years, said Professor Gareth Collins at Imperial College London.

"Something the size of Bennu colliding is about 10 times less likely," Collins said.

Altering an asteroid's path presents a lower risk than blasting the rock with nuclear explosives, which may create smaller fragments without changing their course, scientists say.
