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."

What Was That Bright Green Fireball Falling From the Sky?
Published May 29, 2020 • Updated on May 29, 2020 at 7:08 amA North Texas family's home security camera was recording when a giant fireball fell from the sky Thursday night.
Samantha Deann Pinson shared the video pointed at her driveway in Burleson, which showed the green ball of light streak across the frame.
"Was that a #meteorite falling to earth somewhere over #Mesquite or Balch Springs, TX? It was bright green and then disappeared as it fell to earth!" one person wrote on Twitter. Other social media users from East Texas and Arkansas reported seeing the bright green ball of light crossing the night sky.According to NASA, meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite.

Space junk streaks across Australian skies as a bright, flaming fireball
May 22, 2020
Residents of southeastern Australia and Tasmania witnessed a fantastic sight in the sky Friday night, as fireball blazed by overhead.
Thomas Toose, a farmer in Creswick, Victoria, northwest of Melbourne, called the sight "surreal" and told Storyful it "was massive and lasted about 20 seconds."
Assumed, at first glance, to be a meteor - the bright light caused by a chunk of rock or ice plunging into the atmosphere after floating through space for billions of years. Instead, though, it turned out to be something with a more mundane, Earthly origin.A screencap of the video captured by farmer Thomas Toose of the May 22, 2020 fireball over Victoria, Australia.

After scrutinizing the video footage of the fireball, skywatchers and scientists alike noted a few details that set this apart from your typical meteor fireball.
First, it was travelling very slowly by comparison. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere from space, it is typically travelling at speeds of between 11 and 72 kilometres per second (40,000 km/h to 260,000 km/h). So, the meteor produced appears to flash by in only a few seconds. Often, this isn't even enough time to grab your cellphone and record the event. Only cameras that are already running and pointing the right direction - webcams, security cameras and dashboard cameras - tend to capture them.
Second, the colour of the fireball, as well as the obvious disintegration seen from it, would have been fairly unusual for a meteoroid. Meteor fireballs usually flash bright white, with maybe a slight tinge of colour (blue, green, yellow). The exact colour depends on its speed, the atmospheric gases it is compressing, and what kind of minerals or metals might be vaporizing off the meteoroid's surface. In this case, the fireball is glowing orange-white and is trailing visible flames and smoke.From left to right, the appearance of the fireball changed from beginning to end, with glowing/flaming debris breaking away as it passed through the air.

Some larger space rocks do break apart as they pass through the air. These fragmentations always follow an extremely bright 'bolide' flash from the object, and the smaller fragments quickly wink out. Here, the debris is still visible for some time after breaking away from the object.

Meteor sighting: Fireball lights up skies over middle America in stunning video
A HUGE fireball shot through the skies of middle America, producing a large blast which mesmerised spectators recently.
PUBLISHED: 22:10, Wed, May 20, 2020 | UPDATED: 06:59, Thu, May 21, 2020
The International Meteor Organisation (IMO) received dozens of reports of a fireball, which lit up the skies above Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. One person's security camera picked up the sighting, which showed a bright object falling towards Earth.
Brett reported to the IMO: "The feeling of having witnessed this was incredible."
Vivian added: "It was an amazing site [sic] to behold. It appeared and then seemed to disappear for a second Or two and then reappeared it then disappeared again."An unnamed person said: "Amazing sight! Never seen anything like this before! Most beautiful super bright blue I have ever seen!"
Asteroids and meteors produce a bright explosion of fire when they hit the atmosphere as it is the first time the space rock has ever met resistance.
Air seeps into the pores and cracks of the rock, pushing it apart and causing it to explode.
The IMO said: “Fireballs are meteors that appear brighter than normal.
“Due to the velocity at which they strike the Earth’s atmosphere, fragments larger than one millimetre have the capability to produce a bright flash as they streak through the heavens above.
“These bright meteors are what we call fireballs and they often strike fear and awe for those who witness them.”While this meteor was small, the bright flash reiterates the need for eyes on the skies to watch out for potential asteroid collisions.
While the chances of a major asteroid hitting Earth are small – NASA believes there is a one in 300,000 chance every year a space rock which could cause regional damage will hit – the devastating prospect is not impossible.
However, there are some plans on the go which could help Earth against potential asteroid strikes.
NASA is currently studying Asteroid Bennu, where its OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft arrived in 2018.Part of the reason NASA is sending the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft there is to gather more information about the space rock which is 1,640ft (500m) in length.
NASA fears the asteroid, which has the potential to wipe out a country on Earth, could hit our planet within the next 120 years, with the next close flyby in 2135.
The mission will give vital information on how to deflect asteroids from their collision course with Earth, but NASA reiterates while there is a small chance Earth could be impacted, “over millions of years, of all of the planets, Bennu is most likely to hit Venus".

Natchez resident spots otherworldly fireball streaking across the sky
Published 4:18 pm Monday, May 11, 2020
For one Natchez resident, a late-night trip out of his house turned into an otherworldly experience when he spotted a bright orange fireball streak across the sky.
“It scared the heck out of me,” Alex Sandel said Monday morning. “It was bright orange, red and spinning.”
Living near Merit Health Natchez, Sandel said he has stepped outside to watch a helicopter take off from the hospital’s helipad Sunday evening at approximately 10:15 when he was startled by the fireball streaking across the sky.“I was outside waiting for the helicopter to take off when I saw this thing coming,” Sandel said. “It came from the north and went straight south.”
Sandel said the fireball was traveling at a slow enough speed for him to reach his phone to capture an image of the flying object.
“It wasn’t any faster than a jet,” Sandel said.Monday morning Sandel said he did some research online and believes what he saw was part of a meteorite that was streaking across the sky.
Data collected on the American Meteor Society show that several fireball sightings were made Sunday night in Mississippi and Louisiana between Como, Mississippi, and Harahan, Louisiana, were reported at approximately the same time Sandel reported his fireball sighting. Those sightings are pending confirmation by the AMS.and another:
