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."

Event into space in France on Monday, 16 March, 2015 at 08:45 (08:45 AM) UTC.

A huge meteorite lit up the night in eastern France on Sunday as well as other parts of Europe. It was captured on amateur video footage. The meteorite which was seen in the skies above the regions of Alsace and Lorraine near the German border was also visible from parts of Switzerland and Austria. The ball of fire passed over Europe at around 9pm on Sunday night and was largely visible to the naked eye. Witnesses told Swiss newspaper Le Matin that they saw a "flash, like a lightning bolt" and others reported hearing a dull thunder accompanying the meteorite as it passed through the sky. "The information we received clearly indicates that it was a meteorite," said Markus Griesser from the Eschenberg Observatory in Switzerland. The specialist says it is too early to determine where the meteorite may have crashed. The ball of fire was caught on camera in this amateur video footage shot in Austria.

Event into space in United Kingdom on Monday, 16 March, 2015 at 08:44 (08:44 AM) UTC.

A major search operation was launched after red distress flares were reported off the west coast of Cumbria. Concerned members of the public reported someone in trouble at about 9.20pm last night. Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team was dispatched to the area, between Workington and the Isle of Whithorn, where members took up various observation points while Workington lifeboat was dispatched to carry out a search. A spokesman for the coastguard said: "After a thorough search of the area and enquiries made - as well as receiving more reports from other parts of the country reporting lights in the sky - it was decided that the sighting was probably a meteorite." The team and lifeboat were stood down and, as the coastguard was leaving the area, the team was flagged down by a security guard from one of the local factories reporting a bright object moving across the sky.

Bright Fireball Blazes Across Colorado Skies (Mar 11)

A massive fireball lit up skies over Colorado just before dawn on the morning of March 11.

The meteor, flashing a glowing bright green tail, was seen by a vast number of eyewitnesses.

"As it moved towards the far horizon it started to flame out, but even after the tail was gone a bright orange ball was still visible till it disappeared beyond the far mountain range. It was pretty incredible," Greg Moore, an analyst for Weather5280 who witnessed the event, said.

"The head was bright white, and it had a deep orange tail with what looked like sparks falling behind, moving very slowly for a meteor. I've seen a lot of meteors in my day but this must have been the most spectacular, lasting for what seemed like around 10 seconds," Nate Hershey, a Colorado resident.

NASA confirmed the fireball was in fact a meteor.

Daytime Fireball Over Perth Australia (Mar 9)

A fireball flashing through the sky has been reported by multiple witnesses and also recorded on dashcams in Perth, Western Australia.

Thousands of people from Margaret River to the wheatbelt spotted the fireball as it streaked across the sky at about 9.30am (AWST) morning.

“Don't know what it was but whilst on a break at work, was walking back to the workshop and saw a bright flash and an object falling through the atmosphere with a white bright lit tail,” Perth resident, Chris Ugle, posted in a Facebook group titled Australian Meteor Reports.

A resident of Gidgegannup (45km east of Perth), Angela Whife, described the fireball as round, white and having a meter-long tail.

'It would have to have been a fairly big rock to be visible during the day,' Curtin University's Professor Robert Bland, who hosts the Fireball in the Sky website, told Radio 6PR.

Large Daytime Fireball Soars Over Victoria Australia (Feb 25)

Reports of a rare burst of flame across the blue sky started flooding through on social media at about 10.30am on Wednesday, with one describing it as a "fireball asteroid".

Astronomical Society of Victoria spokesman Perry Vlahos said he had heard reports of the sighting across the state, from Mildura to Wangaratta to Melbourne.

"It appears to have come in from the western sky burning with a bright orange colour and leaving a white trail behind it," he said.

Spotting a daylight meteor is considered to be quite rare, due to the energy required to light up the sky when competing with the sun.

"It is very rare that they saw it. I would say those that did wouldn't see another one in their lifetime," he

One witness, who said his name was Craig, was driving through Mooroolbark in suburban Melbourne when he saw the spectacle.

"This was quite large, and it was flaming. I said, 'what the hell was that?'

The Kerala, fireball is now being reported as "it could have been a meteor". News went viral, and claiming it to be rocket/satellite debris might have been untenable. Massive Fireball Explodes Over Kochi, India, triggers panic in city.

(The local authorities were deferring the final word to NASA. It will be incredibly disappointing if they fall back to the space rocket excuse -- Getting themselves out of a hole, only to dig themselves into another one..)

Bright Fireball Explodes Over Florida (Feb 21)

Residents of the Sunshine State say they spotted a massive fireball soar through the Florida sky over the weekend, and similar reports have since surfaced from as far away as South Carolina

AMS has received over 200 reports of the bright fireball.

Over 15 of the reports described a window rattling boom moments after the fireball disappeared. The fact people heard booms suggests it exploded in the lower atmosphere.

The estimated trajectory plotted from the witness reports shows the meteor was traveling from the south west to the north east and ended its flight about 30 miles due west from Jacksonville, FL.

People in a Live Oak neighborhood describe what they heard as a loud smack that almost sounded like a plane crash.

“We seen a bright light and as we looked up the best way I can describe it is it look(ed) like a large firework. But then there was a big ball of fire behind it and as quick as we seen it, it was gone,” said Tracie Sradley.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and Lake City Police Department said they received dozens of phone calls.

“I'm shocked, and surprised and can't believe that a meteor would hit anywhere, much less in our area,” said Stephen Dilley.

“It kind of scared us at first, like, ‘Oh my God, what's going on.'

Saturday’s incident came just a few days after similar reports surfaced up the East Coast, where residents of the Mid-Atlantic states on Tuesday described seeing a fireball that the AMS believes was a 500-pound meteor that was traveling at around 45,000 miles per hour before breaking up in western Pennsylvania.

Massive Fireball Over Northeastern U.S. (Feb 17)

A very bright fireball was seen over New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday.

The fireball was described as a space rock about 2 feet in diameter and weighing about 500 pounds.

Witnesses from the Pittsburgh area reported hearing a delayed boom shortly after seeing the fireball.

The space rock entered Earth’s atmosphere above Western Pennsylvania and was first detected by cameras at an altitude of 60 miles above Beaver Falls.

“The fireball moved almost due east at a speed of 45,000 mph. It flared brighter than the Full Moon before the cameras lost track of it at altitude of 13 miles above Kittanning,” said Bill Cooke, with NASA’s Meteoroid Environments Office.

Cooke said there may be fragments scattered on the ground east of Kittanning.

Fireball Over Spain (Feb 11)

Stargazers were amazed to see a ball of light speeding across the sky over Catalonia on Tuesday night.

Some of those who saw the bright light took to social media to seek confirmation that they hadn´t imagined the sight.

One twitter user, @xavi_roca_tico asked: "Am I the only one to see a great ball of green and orange falling from the sky really quickly?"

In fact the phenomenon was caught on camera by astronomer Josep Maria Petit Prats at the Astrogirona observatory in Sant Antoni de Calonge, Girona.

The ball of light, the origin of which is as yet unknown, appeared at 7.22pm and presented long flashes of very bright light, the observatory said.
