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."

Morning 'fireball' seen over Lake Pontchartrain was a meteor
Early morning risers from Louisiana to Kentucky and beyond reported what some describe as a greenish streak or fireball in the sky Wednesday (Oct. 12), the National Weather Service in Slidell said. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Officesaid it received multiple reports around 7 a.m. about a possible meteorite overLake Pontchartrain.
"People called reporting a strange green streak shoot across the sky. There was no indication or evidence to that suggests it was a flare and we have no distress calls in the lake," the Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. "This was even observed by some law enforcement officers as well. Very strange."
Meteors, commonly called shooting stars, are visible as streaks of lights caused when a meteoroid burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
"Yes, it was a fireball meteor," said Mike Hankey with the American Meteor Society, a nonprofit that tracks and monitors meteor events.
NASA's Meteor Watch said the bright green fireball was first reported 65 miles above Sawyersville, Ala., and moving northwest at about 89,000 miles per hour. It appears to have fragmented 41 miles above Louisville, Miss., according to a Meteor Watch Facebook post.
The agency's sky cameras in the region had been turned off to protect them from the sun's glare, so the trajectory analysis is based on eyewitness reports, NASA said. Based on its brightness, the object was estimated to weigh about 5 pounds and be 5 inches around.
"Given the high uncertainty in the visual reports, a reliable orbit cannot be computed, so the source of this object remains a mystery at this time. However, we can definitely say it was a natural object (meteor) and was not associated with the Orionid meteor shower," NASA said.
Hankey described the fireball meteor as rare because of its daytime appearance. "These are sporadic events but happen somewhere over the Earth every day," he said. "This was rarer than most as it was seen early in the morning. Also several reports of big smoke cloud left behind."
He said his organization hadn't received video or pictures, but that he's hopeful.

UPDATE: Meteor breaks apart over Louisville
By Zac Carlisle Oct. 12, 2016
TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) - Many people in North Mississippi and Alabama reported seeing a bright "fireball" in the sky this morning.
Most reported seeing it sometime near 7 a.m.
"I just saw a big something streak through the sky about 5-10 minutes ago! Bright, white, BIG," said Shala Weaver.
According to Bill Cooke with NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office in Huntsville, Alabama, the "fireball" was a meteor moving 89,000 miles per hour.
It appears to have fragmented 41 miles above Louisville, Miss.
"Estimates of the brightness indicate that the object weighed about 5 pounds and was roughly 5 inches in diameter."

NASA explains what that bright fireball was in the Mississippi sky
Meteor society says fireball reports span from Georgia to Texas
Updated: 2:19 PM CDT Oct 12, 2016Reports are coming in from across the southeast of people seeing fireballs flying through the sky.Jay Bird, a 16 WAPT viewer from Madison, said about 7 a.m. Wednesday, he saw a long, white line of light and then heard an explosion with a faint boom.
“It had a fluorescent blue cloud that stuck around for about five minutes,” Bird said in an email.
According to the American Meteor Society, close to 200 people have reported seeing a fireball around the same time as Bird. The reports span from eastern Georgia to east Texas.
NASA said it received morethan 100 reports from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. Unfortunately, NASA said its cameras were turned off when the event happened.
"All sky cameras in the region had already shut downto protect themselves from the bright Sun, forcing us to rely solely onthe eyewitness reports for trajectory analysis,"NASA spokeswoman Karen Northon told WDSU -- 16 WAPT's sister station in New Orleans.
The object was a meteor, NASA said. It was first seen 65miles above Sawyersville, Alabama and moved west at about 89,000 mph.
"It appears to have fragmented 41 miles aboveLouisville, Mississippi," NASA said. "Estimates of thebrightness indicate that the object weighed about 5 pounds and was roughly5 inches in diameter."
Because of no photos or video, NASA said that a reliable orbit can't be determined, which means the source of the object is a "mystery."
What NASA can say, though, is that it was a natural meteor. However, it wasn't part of the Orionid meteor shower.

Bright Fireball Explodes over Northeast U.S. (Oct 4)
People from Maryland to Québec may have seen an unusually large and loud fireball in the sky. The American Meteor Society received 510 reports of a fireball with a sonic boom. The fireball was likely an asteroid.
Tuesday night’s fireball sightings could be one of the American Meteor Society’s (AMS) top 10 events in terms of received reports, according to the Washington Post.
“What struck me is that people from Canada to Southern Maryland saw it,” Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society, told the Post. “That means it was pretty bright.”

Massive Fireball Rocks Queensland Australia (Sep 26)
Hundreds of central Queenslanders reported witnessing a bright light streaking across the sky followed by a loud explosion about 8.30 last night, in what experts believe may have been either a meteor strike or a “near earth asteroid.”
Residents near Gladstone reported seeing the fireball, described by some as a “mini sun” arcing overhead towards the horizon, lighting up the entire sky.
The sighting was followed by a loud “sonic boom,” indicating an overhead explosion.
Experts say a meteor – which has a burning hot exterior as it travels through Earth’s atmosphere, but an icy interior – likely exploded when the extreme temperatures interacted and became volatile.
Police received multiple calls from concerned residents, who reported their homes and windows shaking.
Geosciences Australia confirmed a “tremor” shook the Gladstone area about 8.30, which was not caused by an earthquake.
Queensland Police tweeted that they “don’t know anything about a meteor shower,” but may be able to consult some ‘experts.’
No damage, craters or impact spots have yet been found, leaving some to speculate the meteor crashed somewhere offshore.
Higgins Storm Chasing crew said on Facebook, “A bright flash or light has been reported by hundreds of people, this light was seen as far south as Hervey Bay and as far north as Yepoon with a tremor being felt upon impact over the general Gladstone area and Boyne Island.”
Social media also lit up with stories of sightings.
“Definitely saw a bright flash like a shooting star, then it flashed out high in the sky a bit to the North,” user Mike said of his sighting near Kin Kora, south of Gladstone.
“As it started I thought lightning, then realized it was probably a meteor. Took at least 2 minutes for the sound to arrive.”
