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."

“Fireball” lights up Saskatchewan sky Saturday night

Saskatoon / 650 CKOM

December 31, 2019 10:27 am

Saskatchewan residents were treated to a unique sight Saturday night, when a possible meteor lit up the night sky.

Tim Yaworski, member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) who saw the flash, told paNOW that it was a “fireball.”

“It was a very bright meteor known as a fireball,” he said.

“In the case of the [meteor] this weekend, it was just large enough that it took quite a long time to burn up and created a much brighter display than normal.”

James Edgar is a past president of the RASC.

Now living in Melville, Edgar wasn’t able to actually see the bright light in the sky Saturday. However, he has some of his own suspicions on what it could have been.

“Could be as simple as a small asteroid, or a meteor. Or, it could be a spent rocket body from a launch. Could have been years ago, it’s been orbiting the Earth,” he told 650 CKOM.

Edgar said when these events happen, report your sightings to the American Meteor Society.

During this event, there were 12 reports on the website. Based on the findings, the possible meteor was seen in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and North Dakota.

Comment by Juan F Martinez on December 28, 2019 at 3:07pm: What Do They Know? US And Russia Both Developing Plans To Deal With Incoming Asteroids 12-27-2019

When the Russians take decisive action, it is usually for a reason. As you will see below, the Russians have suddenly decided that now is the time to create an organization that will be tasked with detecting, tracking and potentially destroying incoming asteroids. Are they doing this now because they have finally decided that this is a good idea, or has something gotten their attention? Of course they are not likely to publicly admit if they have come to the conclusion that a gigantic space rock is heading directly toward us. Just like the U.S. government, the Russian government is very interested in maintaining social order, and so they would probably delay telling the public about a potential asteroid impact for as long as possible.

Mr Putin unveiled the Avangard and other weapons systems in his annual state-of-the-nation address in March 2018, likening it to a "meteorite" and a "fireball".

Comment by Juan F Martinez on November 21, 2019 at 8:07pm: Exactly When You Can See 400 Shooting Stars In 15 Magical Minutes Thursday In Rare ‘Meteor Outburst’ Nov 21, 2019

A brief and potentially spectacular meteor storm may see 400 shooting stars light up the night sky on Thursday, November 21, 2019. According to experts, the obscure and usually minor Alpha Monocerotid meteor shower could produce a rare “meteor outburst” with a duration of as little as 15 minutes and as long as 40 minutes.

Observers in Europe, Africa, South America and in the eastern part of the US will likely get the best view if predictions prove correct.

Exactly When You Can See 400 Shooting Stars In 15 Magical Minutes Thursday In Rare ‘Meteor Outburst’ Nov 19, 2019

A brief and potentially spectacular meteor storm may see 400 shooting stars light up the night sky on Thursday, November 21, 2019. According to experts, the obscure and usually minor Alpha Monocerotid meteor shower could produce a rare “meteor outburst” with a duration of as little as 15 minutes and as long as 40 minutes.

Observers in Europe, Africa, South America and in the eastern part of the US will likely get the best view if predictions prove correct.

When to look for the Alpha Monocerotid ‘meteor outburst’

The expected outburst is predicted to occur at 04:50 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on Friday, November 22, when only North and South America, Europe and Africa are in darkness (everyone in Asia or Australasia will miss out). However, the experts advise that you’re outside and looking up at 04:15 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on Friday, November 22.

That translates to these times on Thursday and Friday for a sample of well-situated population centers in those regions (you should convert for your exact location and time-zone and check the time of local sunrise). I’ve left out locations west of Denver because the meteor outburst will take place below the horizon.

Mexico City, Mexico: 10:15 p.m. CST on Thursday, November 21

New York City, NY & Washington DC: 11:15 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 21

Santiago, Chile: 1:15 a.m. CLST on Friday, November 22

São Paulo, Brazil: 1:15 a.m. BRT on Friday, November 22

Buenos Aires, Argentina: 1:15 a.m. ART on Friday, November 22

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain: 4:15 a.m. WET on Friday, November 22

Cardiff, Edinburgh & London: 4:15 a.m. GMT on Friday, November 22

Madrid, Paris & Brussels: 5:15 a.m. CET on Friday, November 22

Marrakech: 5:15 a.m. CET on Friday, November 22

“Anyone who is going to try to observe should not be late at all,” advise Jenniskens and Lyytinen. “The strongest maximum would fit in about 15 minutes, or maybe a little bit less. It will be almost completely over in about 40 minutes. I recommend starting the observations at the latest at 04h30m and if you don’t want to miss any meteor, then start no later than at 4h15m.”

Comment by Juan F Martinez on November 19, 2019 at 8:22pm: 'Unicorn meteor storm' to be triggered by mysterious comet Thursday night

By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and staff writer Updated nov. 19, 2019 11:41 AM

This is not your typical meteor shower. On Thursday night, stargazers may get to see several meteors per second during a rare event known as a meteor storm.

There is a chance that the upcoming alpha Monocerotid meteor shower could turn into an all-out meteor storm on the night of Nov. 21, according to Esko Lyytinen and Peter Jenniskens, two meteor scientists who have been studying the meteor shower.

It is not a guarantee that such an event will unfold, but Lyytinen and Jenniskens say that there is a “good chance” that this will bring the first alpha Monocerotids meteor storm since 1995, when it produced rates of around 400 meteors per hour.

What time to look for the flurry of meteors

Knowing when to look for the potential meteor storm is extremely important.

“Unlike most meteor outbursts which last for several hours, strong activity from the alpha Monocertids is over within an hour and easily missed,” the American Meteor Society (AMS) explained on its website.

The outburst is forecast to reach its climax around 11:50 p.m. EST on Nov. 21, according to the AMS.

Onlookers should start looking for shooting stars around 11 p.m. EST and continue looking through midnight for the best chance to see the potential meteor storm. If you are not outside during this window, you may miss the celestial light show entirely.

“These meteors are never spaced evenly but appear in bunches so 2-3 meteors may be seen seconds apart and then an entire minute could go by without any activity,” the AMS said.

What exactly is a ‘meteor storm’

We have all heard of meteor showers, sparked when the Earth passes through a field of debris left behind by an asteroid or comet.

Outburst of unknown origins

The alpha Monocertids is a mysterious meteor shower as scientists are unsure about when it started, or what exactly is causing it.

“This outburst is caused by the dust released by a long-period comet, but the comet itself is still unknown.“

Despite these uncertainties, one thing is known for sure: the meteors radiate from Monoceros, a faint constellation that is Greek for unicorn and located just to the left of the well-known constellation Orion.

Contrary to popular belief, shooting stars will be visible in much of the night sky, not just the area near the unicorn constellation, as long as clouds do not obscure the sky.
