"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."
AMS took in reports from across the Northwest region, from Sooke, British Columbia all the way down to Roseberg, Oregon of a fireball in the sky started coming in around 4:30 a.m.
Q13 Meteorologist Rebecca Stevenson called the National Weather Service and verified that there was no lightning in Western Washington early Friday. The NWS said the nearest lightning strikes were in British Columbia over Vancouver Island.
"I saw it at 4:35 this morning. It came angling down right over Hwy 410 in Sumner 'til it got over the trees," said Q13 viewer Janine.
"I saw a bright light a bit to the right. It was a fireball that went from my right to left... at about a 45 degree angle of flight down. It was spotted at about 30-40 degrees above the horizon, was blueish-green, with a very bright yellow ball. The tail was mainly sparks, with a "halo" around the ball itself. It lasted a little more than one second," wrote Q13 viewer Paul.
The AMS has received few reports (6 so far) of a rare daylight fireball event over Georgia on Wednesday June 8th 2016 around 07:45am EDT (11:43 UT). The preliminary trajectory seems to have placed this event between Roswell, GA and Alpharetta, GA.
According to the Polish Fireball Network (PKIM), a very bright meteor fireball brightened the sky over central Poland at 10:47pm on Tuesday night.
According to preliminary data, the event started at the altitude of 84 km and finished 43 km above the ground. Initial speed was 18 km/s. After 2.38 seconds, the fireball burned out and was no longer visible.
Comment: Meteor fireball events over Poland in the last few years:
AMS has received nearly 150 reports so far of a rare daylight fireball event over the Midwestern states of Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana on Monday June 6th 2016 around 11:41am CDT (16:41 UT). The preliminary trajectory seems to have placed this event over northeastern Missouri.
NASA: Fireball in Arizona Sky was 10 foot, 20-ton Asteroid!
The flash itself was so bright, it briefly turned night into day. Marsha Adams sends these before, during, and after shots from Sedona, Arizona. "The camera was facing NE so it did not record the asteroid itself," says Adams. "However, the flash cast very distinct shadows, and landscape colors were vivid."
Early this morning, June 2nd just before 4 a.m. MST, a small asteroid hit Earth's atmosphere and exploded over Arizona. "There was a bright flash and the ground shook from the explosion," reports Chris Schur of Payson AZ, who says the flash of light was about 10x brighter than a full Moon. The explosion actually blinded a NASA camera located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins, Arizona
NASA later said it blinded all-sky meteor cameras as far away as New Mexico.
"That is a hefty piece of material coming in," said Dr. Ed Krupp of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. "This falls into the category of a near-miss, if a 7-foot rock fell into a major city, you're not going to destroy the city but you're going to do some major damage."
It was last spotted heading south over the Tonto National Forest in Arizona. NASA believes there is meteorite debris scattered on the ground just north of Tucson, Arizona.
Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office says this is the brightest fireball detected in the 8-year history of the NASA's All Sky Fireball Network, an array of cameras that monitors fireball activity across the USA.
According to NASA analysts, the asteroid was ~10 feet (3 meters) in diameter with a mass in the tens of tons and a kinetic energy of approximately 10 kilotons.
Eyewitness reports placed the object at an altitude of 57 miles above the Tonto National Forest east of the town of Payson, moving almost due south. It was last seen at an altitude of 22 miles above that same forest.
"There are no reports of any damage or injuries—just a lot of light and few sonic booms," says Cooke. "If Doppler radar is any indication, there are almost certainly meteorites scattered on the ground north of Tucson."
An Arizona Geological Survey report picked up an impact near Payson, and officials believe that was the point of the asteroid's detonation.
For The Record
"According to Josh Bangle, communications manager at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, the object could have been man-made space debris. Bangle said his best estimate says it was a meteor or Space Junk around the size of a baseball and do not think any of their telescopes has captured the space debris." Source
The AMS has received over 300 reports so far about a fireball event over Arizona on June 2nd 2016 around 03:57am MST EDT (10:57 UT). The fireball was seen primarily from Arizona but witnesses from Utah, New Mexico, California, Texas and Nevada also reported the event.
Residents also reported hearing a loud boom and a colorful trail of smoke that was visible well past sunrise.
Caribbean Fireball: Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico (5/27/16)
"This fireball was captured by my Watec 902H camera on May 25, 2016 at 12:35am local time. It was located just south of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico in the sky above the Caribbean Sea."
Residents in a Mexican city woke in fright before dawn on Saturday to a bright light in the sky and then a thunderous noise, fearing a nearby volcano had suddenly erupted.
But officials said Popocatepetl volcano had not stirred and no earthquake had registered.
Instead, the phenomena witnessed by the inhabitants of Puebla de Zaragoza, a city of three million people 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Mexico City, was "most likely a meteor," the local Astronomic Society tweeted.
The rock from space probably burned up in the atmosphere and no impact was detected, it explained.
"It was horrible, we thought it was the volcano, but it wasn't," said one resident, Emma Chavez.
"There was a light that shone for a couple of seconds like it was daytime and then there was tremendous thunder."
Another resident, Alvaro Morales, said: "It was really strong. Windows were shaking. We thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn't. There was a sound like an explosion. We were truly terrified."
The first images met the fall of a foreign object in the seaside resort of Pinamar , which caused a comnoción among its inhabitants.
"He felt a tremor. Many people experienced ,
" He fell an object of heaven in Pinamar near 21.25. The tremor was felt throughout the town. We are finding out. The object would have fallen between Cariló and Villa Gesell. Many people scared, jumped amount of alarm systems , " tweeted the chief communal.
"The most important thing is that nothing happened serious. We felt a tremor and jumped alarms a lot of houses ,
AMS has received over 700 reports so far about a fireball event over Northeastern US on May 17th 2016 around 12:50am EDT (4:50 UT).
The fireball was seen primarily from Maine but witnesses from Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ontario (Canada) and Québec (Canada) also reported the event.
