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."

Green fireball spotted in South Florida by dozens of people (3/29/16)
The American Meteor Society said this morning that dozens of people are reporting to have spotted a bluish or green fireball over South Florida at about 6:30am.
More than 40 [at least 62] reports were made to the AMS from people who claim to have witnessed the event from Kendall to Jupiter. Nine reports came from people in Palm Beach County.
Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society, said it was a random fireball and not part of a known meteor shower.
...A report from a West Palm Beach man says the fireball cut a long trail across the sky.
“Train was glowing an iridescent or almost neon blue with white edges,” the man reported. “Looked like it was 300-500 yards behind the fireball itself but was still attached to the head of the fireball.”

A fireball has lit up the sky over Britain overnight - and has been named the St Patrick's Day meteor because it caused a green flash.
The bright bolt of light was spotted across Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire and in London at around 3.15am.
Footage of the meteor was captured on the dashboard camera by a driver travelling through Battersea.The UK Meteor Observation Network also picked up the flash at their Church Crookham station, near Fleet in Hampshire.
Sky at Night Presenter Pete Lawrence was filming for the show and described how: 'The sky went bright blue due' and then a 'very bright green'.
James West, from near Southampton, told his local paper that that the flash was so bright it 'lit up the bedroom curtains'.
The meteor, which experts say was probably the size of a double decker bus when it crashed into the atmosphere, may have been visible as far north as Scotland.

NASA's Fireball Program Will Test if Asteroids Hit Earth as Randomly as We Think
We have no clear idea of whether or not any one place is more likely to get hit with extraterrestrial debris.
If it weren’t for NASA’s automated Fireball and Bolide Reports system, no one would have ever known about the asteroid. The rock in question broke the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in February after piercing the atmosphere with the force of 13,000 tons of TNT. It was traveling thousands of miles an hour. Had it hit a city, no one would have seen it coming.
If you give an astronomer an asteroid’s size, its angular velocity, and composition, he or she could give you a decent approximation of what would happen when the asteroid hits. Less clear is predicting where on earth impacts are most likely to occur. But there’s a good chance it’s wet. “Just over 70 percent of Earth’s surface is ocean, which means about 70 percent of the impactors will land in water,” says William Cooke, a small-object expert with the Meteoroid Environment Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.
This is true.
As a species that wants to survive for another couple hundred thousand years, we’ve become increasingly invested in tracking the asteroids in our solar system. Not because the frozen chunks of rock are particularly interesting on their own, but because they have the potential to become either meteors (the bright fireball flashes in the sky) or meteorites (the hunk of space rock that lands on Earth). If those are big enough, of course, they become extinction-level events. NASA keeps an eye on larger asteroids in the solar system, like the “big-ass meteor” that zipped by Monday morning. But where an object is likely to land is a bit of an astronomic crapshoot.
As far as we know, impact events aren’t more likely to land at, say, the equator than a pole. “No pattern discernible, as you can see from this plot released by NASA in November of 2014,” Cooke says. “Looks pretty random.”
Compounding the problem is that meteoric events, if they occur in isolated areas, go unreported. There are a few ways to spot meteors without human eyes or sensors, like seismometers, infrasound arrays, and satellite cameras. Cooke needs compound eyes to keep watch on the whole planet. But that’s just to get data, not to wring out a conclusion about when asteroids wind up hitting water or rock. There is simply no way to know that yet.
“We are just now beginning to establish networks that don’t rely on human feedback to extract information about fireballs,” Cooke says — NASA’s fireball program relies on cameras to spot unusually bright spots around the globe, for instance — “and the coverage is nowhere near what we need.”
When the program is up and running, data collection will improve significantly and we’ll be able to install “Beware of Falling Rocks” signs at appropriate locations.

...Between March 2nd and March 8th only, the AMS recorded 6 major fireball events over the US only:
...In the weeks around the start of spring, NASA noticed that the appearance rate of fireballs can increase by as much as 30 percent.
The American Meteor Society statistics tend to show that February is the most active month for fireballs.
...NASA has no hypothesis on this fact and only notes that “more space debris litters this section of Earth’s orbit”

Fireball Caught On Tape over Missouri on March 4th, 2016 (3/7/16)
This event has been caught on tape by Tim Zikowsky while setting up this dash cam on his way to work (at 0:10):
The American Meteor Society has received about 40 reports so far of a bright fireball on March 4th, 2016. The fireball was seen primarily from Missouri and Oklahoma but witnesses from Kansas, Arkansas, Missippi, and Texas also reported seeing this fireball. This event occurred near 10:53pm CST (04:33 on March 5th Universal Time).

'Unusual' local meteor sighting reported (3/3/16)
Wednesday night, just before 10 p.m., sky-watchers from Maine to Philadelphia — and more than a few in the Lower Hudson Valley — caught a glimpse of a fireball, a meteor, burning up to dust as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere.
The American Meteor Society keeps a map of public meteor sightings and, according to Operations Manager Mike Hankey, about 34 [42] reports were received from across the Northeast, including one from Dobbs Ferry and another from Ardsley.
“It seemed to burn out at a low angle above the horizon,” said Andrew Ploski, of Nyack. “My 9-year-old son and I were traveling back home last night after a visit with his grandmother in Yonkers. We were traveling north on the Sprain Brook Parkway near the Ardsley Road overpass. There appeared a large, very bright fireball with trail about the brightness and size of a car headlight. It streaked across my field of vision very quickly from my upper right to lower left — east to west.”

Fireball Over Plymouth UK (Mar 1)
Ray Griffin, aged 70, was at home when he saw the "light in the sky" at about 10pm on Tuesday.
Mr Griffin, landlord of the Morley Arms in Plymstock, then heard what he describes as "gun fire" after the light disappeared.
The following day he was catching up with a pub regular, who described exactly the same turn of events.
Now Mr Griffin wants to get to the bottom of the strange sight.
"It was moving away from Laira Bridge," he recalls, "towards the A38. It looked like a bright orange ball of fire flying across the sky.
"It carried on going over and then disappeared, like somebody had just switched it off."
"There is quite a lot of meteor and NEO asteroid activity at the moment around the world. However, people only tend to pay attention when they see something for themselves or they are directly affected, and not until then."
