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."

Rare daytime fireball meteor creates massive sonic boom over UK
https://www.livescience.com/uk-daytime-fireball-meteor-sonic-boom.html
A rare daytime fireball meteor triggered a loud sonic boom across parts of the United Kingdom and France over the weekend.
The sonic boom occurred at 2:50 p.m. local time on Saturday (March 20) and was reportedly heard in southwest England, Wales and northern France, according to Sky News. At first, most people assumed that the noise was the result of fighter jets, but the Ministry of Defence quikcly announced that this couldn't have been the case, according to the BBC.
However, a handful of people on Twitter said they had witnessed a bright flash of light across the sky at the same time, and thanks to satellite images, it was later confirmed to be a fireball meteor, according to the BBC.
The meteor was a bolide — the largest and brightest type of fireball meteor — and would have needed to be "very large" to be visible during the day, Richard Kacerek, from the UK Meteor Observation Network of amateur astronomers, told the BBC.
On Feb. 28, another large fireball meteor lit up the night sky over the U.K. and was seen by a potentially record-breaking number of people, Live Science previously reported.

Four fireballs spotted during the week-end
According to the American Meteor Society (AMS), the daylight fireball was actually just one of the fireball events this past weekend. There were also fireball events in Tampa Bay and Pennsylvania. Another was also observed in California, Nevada and Arizona.
Daylight Fireball over the English Channel on Friday, 19th
Thanks to our European partners Vigie-Ciel (FR) and UKMON (UK), we received 125 reports so far about a daylight fireball event that occurred over the English Channel on Saturday, March 20th 2021 around 14:50 UT. The AMS #2021-978 event was mainly seen from West of France (Brittany, Normandy and Parisian region) and from South West England and Wales.
Many witness from the UK heard a sonic boom and Soundcloud user Joseph Stockwell had the chance to record the event:

Fireball over Tampa Bay, on Saturday 20th, 8:30 PM EDT
Even though there was significant cloud cover, 60 of eyewitnesses in middle Florida reported us seeing a bright fireball around 8:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time (2021-03-21 00:30 Universal Time). An analysis of these reports indicated that the meteor was first seen at an altitude of 52 miles above Tampa Bay, moving a little south of west at 48,000 miles per hour. It ablated 33 miles over the Gulf of Mexico after traveling 39 miles through the atmosphere (study: NASA from the AMS reports).
80 eyewitness reports from California, Nevada & Arizona – Saturday 20th
Few hours later, at least 80 people (mainly from California but also from Nevada and Arizona) reported a slow fireball seen between Las Vegas, NV and Bakersfield CA around 7:50 PM Pacific Daylight Time (2021-03-21 02:50 Universal Time). Analysis of these reports indicates that the AMS event #1787-2021 was first spotted 60 miles above Church Dome in the Sequoia National Forest northeast of Bakersfield. It moved south of east at 86,000 miles per hour before ablating 43 miles above Goldstone, traveling a total distance of 87 miles in just under 4 seconds (study: NASA from the AMS reports)..
E. Rosen from Solana Beach caught the event on this door bell cam:
Bright fireball over Pennsylvania, on Sunday March 21st, 0:30 AM EDT
Last but not least, we received more than 240 reports (and counting) about another fireball spotted over Pennsylvania on Sunday March 21st, 0:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time (04:30 Universal Time). The event has mainly been seen from Pennsylvania, but we also received reports from Connecticut, Washington DC, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and from Ontario and Québec.
A analysis lead by NASA shows that the object first became visible 55 miles (88 km) above the town of Greenstone, near the Pennsylvania / Maryland border. Moving northwest at 51,000 miles per hour (23 km/s), the fireball traversed 38 miles (61 km) through the atmosphere before fragmenting 28 miles (45 km) above the Pennsylvania town of Newburg. The orbit of the object and the brightness of the event (roughly that of the gibbous Moon) indicate that the fireball was caused by an asteroidal fragment weighing 7 pounds (3 kg) and about 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter.
Below is a quick compilation of some of the videos we received about this event:

Another meteor? More booms heard, fireballs spotted in Upstate NY
https://www.syracuse.com/news/2020/12/another-meteor-more-booms-hea...
Did you hear a boom last night (Dec 7) in Upstate New York? Did you see a streak of light cut across the night sky? If so, you aren’t alone.
Witnesses from Virginia to New York to Quebec reported fireball sightings to the American Meteor Society on Monday night. One sighting came from Oswego County.
A video taken by a doorbell camera in the city of Oswego shows a flash of light in the night sky. The flash was followed by a loud, resounding boom. The video, taken at 9:21 p.m. near Miller Street, was provided by a witness and posted on the meteor society’s website.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyTlq1xVyhE
The reports came less than a week after a meteor exploded over Central New York. The house-shaking, sonic boom sounded like an explosion, startling residents in Central New York and beyond.
Three of Monday night’s fireball reports came from Upstate New York. They were spaced about three hours apart, according to the society’s logs: 7:31 p.m., 8:30 p.m. and 9:20 p.m.
The biggest string of fireball reports happened at 7:31 p.m. The meteor society received 155 reports from witnesses — mostly in Ontario and Quebec — who saw a fireball in the sky, according to the meteor society’s logs. Witnesses in the Catskills and Albany area also reported spotting a fiery light in the sky.
An hour later, a second fireball event was reported to the meteor society. Most of the 28 witness reports were in Pennsylvania. But one fireball sighting was made southeast of Cortland, according to the society’s logs.
The fireball sighting in Oswego was the last submitted to the meteor society last night. So far, only one witness reported hearing a boom and seeing a flash of light.

Falling meteor causes fireball, flash of light over parts of Ontari...
Falling meteor causes fireball, flash of light over parts of Ontario
December 3, 2020 12:18PM EST
TORONTO -- A meteor travelling an estimated 100,000 kilometers an hour is believed to have fallen into the earth’s atmosphere on Wednesday afternoon, resulting in multiple reports of a bright flash of light above Toronto and some streaks of fire in the sky across southern Ontario.
Around noon, a number of GTA residents reported seeing a fireball trail across the sky while others said they saw a large flash of nearly blinding light.
According to Dr. Denis Vida, a postdoctoral associate with the University of Western Ontario in their physics and astronomy department, a basket-ball sized meteor is believed to have entered the earth’s atmosphere at a 45-degree angle about 50 kilometers north of Syracuse, New York.
“We’re still waiting for the data to come in, but we think that the rough size of the object was probably in the order of 10 centimeters. And there's still a lot of uncertainty.”Vida said that it’s still too early to know if some pieces of the meteor made it to the ground or if the rock completely disintegrated upon entry. He said the large flash of light seen primarily over Syracuse would have been the result of the meteor being fragmented by the earth’s atmosphere.
“The flash was probably about 10 times brighter than the moon, the full moon,” he said. “At that moment the body either completely disintegrated or lost a lot of mass.”
As of 5 p.m., more than 80 reports were made to the American Meteor Society regarding a fireball seen on Dec. 2.
Those in the United States reportedly heard an audible boom following the event, Vida said.
“Someone called me and said that their house shook so much that they thought a tree fell on the house.”
Vida said that it’s not uncommon for meteors to enter the earth’s atmosphere and that people witness the event generally about once a month on a global scale.
“But locally. It's much rarer.”

Japan’s fireball meteor captured on camera - Deseret News
Fireball meteor spotted across wide areas of Japan
“The last burst of light was as bright as the full moon.”
dec 2 2020
On Sunday night, a brightly burning meteor descended through the Earth’s atmosphere over Japan.
The fireball was visible for just a few seconds in the early hours of Sunday. Experts believe small fragments of the meteorite might have reached the ground, The Associated Press reports.
Takeshi Inoue, the director of the Akashi Municipal Planetarium, told Japan’s Kyodo news agency (via CBS), “We believe the last burst of light was as bright as the full moon.”
The spectacle drew massive attention on social media outlets
CBS reports that NHK public television, Japan’s public media organization, stated its weather cameras stationed in the nation’s central prefectures of Aichi and Mie captured the fireball in the southern sky.
The outlet posted this compilation of videos on Twitter on Monday morning:
In addition to NHK and other news outlets, many in western Japan also shared their own videos of the rare sight on their social media accounts.
“The sky went bright for a moment and I felt strange because it couldn’t be lightning,” said one Twitter user who saw the meteor. “I felt the power of the universe!” via CBS.
“That was scary” said another who tweeted a video of the light burst captured while driving.

People in Michigan, 4 other states see midday fireball arc across the sky
Updated Dec 02, 6:09 PMSeveral people in Michigan offered first-hand reports of a midday fireball and accompanying “boom” that were seen and felt from Ontario all the way to Virginia on Wednesday.
The noontime show was likely a disintegrating meteor, according to the Associated Press.
Nearly 100 witness reports of a fireball had come in to the American Meteor Society based in western New York. That tally included several people from Michigan, including reports from people in Marlette in Sanilac County, Marysville, Livonia, and this one from Macomb County’s Clinton Township:
“It was a perfectly BRIGHT sunny day without a cloud in the sky and the fireball was 100% clear and bright.”
To see more of the reports, check the AMS website here. Other fireball reports came from Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania. The color of the display apparently was in the eye of the beholder. A person who saw the fireball in New York described it as bright white with shades of yellow, according to the AP. Someone else in Maryland said it looked red and had orange sparks. Another observer said it had a long, bright green train.
The boom shook windows in central New York, prompting people to call 911. Because most of those loud boom reports were from the Syracuse, New York area, that’s likely where the meteor exploded, said Robert Lunsford of the AMS in Geneseo.
“Sunny day so it looked like a gold metallic flash against the blue sky,” said a report from Winchester, Virginia.
“Astonishing, amazing, still get goosebumps talking about it,” wrote an observer in Port Dover, Ontario. “The train was flaming white, wide and long, no smoke.”
“We tend to notice fireballs more at night because they stand out better, but it’s not terribly unusual for very bright ones to be noticed during the day. It happens several times a year over populated areas,” said Margaret Campbell-Brown, a member of the Meteor Physics Group at Western University in London, Ontario.
So why do some fireballs have such a big sound? These bright meteors produce sound waves, and big meteors can give off a sonic boom that sounds like thunder when they break apart, Campbell-Brown said.

Fireball seen during day prompts 911 call 'I thought a plane crashed'
A FIREBALL which was so bright it could be seen during daylight prompted one person to call the police as she thought there had been a plane crash.
Dec 3 2020
One person even claimed they thought a plane was crashing, while another believed the meteor made contact with the ground.
Angie told the IMO: "I thought maybe a plane crashed and actually called 911 OPP in our area.. I've never seen something like this in the day before, have seen night time versions."
Mike said: "This was a brilliant fireball on a bright sunny day.
Susanne added: "Was out shovelling snow in broad daylight, saw a light which at first I thought was sunlight reflecting off the hydro wire, but it was moving along the wire, then when the meteor ended realised it was a meteor and the trajectory was running along but above the hydro wire.
"It was pretty bright considering it was mid-day and full sunshine."
Lisa said: "It is a bright sunny day and this looked like a close shooting star, clearly visible in the sunshine."
Jennifer added: "This was crazy! It was low to the ground, and appeared like it was going to crash on to Stage Rd in Clarence [New York]."

Remarkable fireball captured breaking up on film | Fox News
Remarkable fireball captured breaking up on film
The footage was taken roughly 60 miles off the southern Tasmanian coast
An enormous fireball was caught on camera streaking across the night sky in Australia, before breaking up over the Tasman Sea
The footage, captured by the vessel RV Investigator, was taken on Nov. 18, roughly 60 miles off the southern Tasmanian coast, according to a blog post from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
"What we saw on reviewing the livestream footage astounded us, the size and brightness of the meteor was incredible," CSIRO Voyage Manager on board, John Hooper, said in the post. "The meteor crosses the sky directly in front of the ship and then breaks up – it was amazing to watch the footage and we were very fortunate that we captured it all on the ship livestream."
'EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORGANIC COMPOUNDS' FOUND IN 2018 MICHIGAN 'FIREBALL'
The livestream, which operates 24/7 from a camera on the RV Investigator, shows the fireball turning a bright green color before it broke apart.
"Over 100 tons of natural space debris enters Earth's atmosphere every day," Glen Nagle from CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science, explained in the post. "Most of it goes unseen as it occurs over an unpopulated area like the southern ocean."
"Cameras are everywhere, in our pockets and around our cities, but they have to be pointed in the right place at the right time – RV Investigator was in that place and time," Nagle added.
A small chunk of an asteroid or comet is known as a meteoroid. When it enters Earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor, fireball or shooting star. The pieces of rock that hit the ground, valuable to collectors, are called meteorites.
Last month, researchers discovered that a fireball that entered Earth's atmosphere in January 2018 over Michigan contained "extraterrestrial organic compounds."
In 2019, a separate group of researchers suggested meteorites actually made life possible on Earth. They identified isotopes of selenium in rocks in Earth's mantle and found identical isotope signatures inside certain meteorites, notably those from the outer solar system.

Nov 24, 2020,10:48am ESTA Fireball Of Astounding Brightness And Length Lights Up Night Skies
Observers across central Europe from Germany to Italy were wowed by a meteor burning up in the sky while taking its time falling to its final resting place(s) on Nov. 19.
The American Meteor Society received over 115 sighting reports, many of them centered around the Austrian city of Salzburg, including some dramatic videos and images like the one above.
While most fireball events are fleeting, lasting perhaps a few seconds, this monster grew progressively brighter as it fell to the ground over the course of nearly half a minute.
Several all-sky cameras from the German AllSky7 fireball network caught the event. You can watch the increasingly dramatic compilation below. The cameras with a closer vantage point clearly show the bolide breaking apart into multiple fireballs as it descends and flames out.
