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."

Daytime Fireball Over San Francisco California (Jan 31)
A bright fireball blazed over the North Bay midday Saturday creating a frenzy of excited tweets and blog posts, and triggering calls to 9-1-1 dispatchers reporting what looked like an aircraft going down.
The American Meteor Society tracked dozens of reports of the fireball, all coming in after noon from across the Bay Area, and even as far north as Eureka.
An observer from Lafayette tells the society, “This object was moving very fast at a very steep trajectory. It was intensely clear, and the colors were very obvious. Shiny chrome was definitely part of the ball, as if sunlight were reflecting off of it. The ball was surrounded by intense white light with bright, fluorescent green trailing from the base into the front of the tail which was white at the tip. I was driving my car on the freeway and had enough time to get a good look at it. It was coming in too steep and fast to be a plane.”
Many witnesses described it as bright white, even changing colors as it glowed for about 10 seconds.
“It was amazing,” Mark Morelli of Santa Rosa told the Press Democrat, who saw it while driving down Guerneville Road. “The tip was bright green and it had a really long tail.”
Another 10 fireballs were reported last week over California.

Daytime Fireball Over Houston Texas (Jan 20)
A fireball flying slowly over the Houston area raised a lot of questions after images and videos started popping up on social media. They were posted by a Webster man named Jordan Sterling.
"I'm always looking in the sky to try to catch something out of the ordinary," Sterling explained.
"I look up in the sky and just right there in the sky," Sterling says pointing to the horizon, "is a huge fireball with a giant fire tail on it just streaking across the sky!"
He grabbed his camera then rolled for three minutes as the object crawled across the horizon.
"At first I thought it was a meteor but it was moving way too slow. Meteors usually go a lot faster."
Patricia Reiff, a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University said:
"What we are seeing is a fireball or a bolide," Reiff explained. A type of meteor.
"Usually they don't linger quite so long, so this is exceptional because of how long it stayed in the air!"
Reiff says that when a meteor nearly misses the earth and skims the atmosphere as it comes around the world, it slows the speed down significantly. A slow moving meteor can make one full swing around the world before crashing or disintegrating. The fireball Sterling captures is similar to the one that fell on Russia in 2013.
"I was freaking out!" said Sterling. "Definitely I didn't know what it could've been. I thought it was going to crash somewhere and cause some serious damage! Never seen anything like that before. Ever."

Fireballs captured on film over Ireland and Mississippi this weekend.
Ireland
On Sunday (Jan 18), a fireball was photographed over Dublin, Ireland.
“It was way brighter than a normal shooting star - they are ten-a-penny when you’re taking shots of the night sky."
"I knew this was different.”
“It is definitely a fireball or bright meteor,” confirmed David Moore the editor of the Astronomy Ireland magazine.
Mississippi
Dr. Bill Cook with the Meteroid Environments Office said a meteor entered Earth's atmosphere Saturday (Jan 17) over Mississippi.
At 8:57 PM, an object about six inches in diameter and weighting fifteen pounds entered Earth's atmosphere southwest of Tupelo, Mississippi.
At its brightest, the fireball was as bright as the first quarter Moon.
It was detected by three NASA meteor cameras at an altitude of 45 miles.
The meteor moved northeast at 54,000 miles per hour, finally burning up at an altitude of 15 miles.

2 Fireballs Seen Over U.S. Southeast (Jan 5)
Two distinct and unrelated fireballs were seen to the west of Nashville at 6:46 p.m. and 7:31 p.m. Monday.
Officials with the Marshall Space Flight Center confirmed Monday night that two fireballs occurred in the skies over northern Alabama and Tennessee earlier in the evening.
Dr. Bill Cooke with the MSFC said the streak of light caused by the first fireball was "brighter than the planet Venus." This first fireball traveled from west to east just north of the town of Dickson, Tennessee.
While the first object flew at 32,400 miles per hour, the second fireball of the evening was more than double that speed - estimated at 75,000 miles per hour.
The second object disintegrated over the town of New Johnsonville, Tennessee.
Several people in North Alabama reported seeing the second fireball.

Christmas Fireball Over Spain (Dec 24)
A slow-moving fireball provided a dramatic spectacle as it streaked more than 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) across Spain during the new king's Christmas Eve speech.
While King Felipe was delivering his inaugural Christmas message, a different kind of show was taking place in skies above Spain with an earth-grazing fireball travelling diagonally from the south-east of Spain to the north-west of the country.
The 100kg (220 pound) rock with a diameter of just one metre entered Spanish skies at the border between the regions of Murcia and Almeria and left the country via the south of Galicia about a minute later.
Travelling at 80,000km an hour, the fireball's passage was "a tremendously unusual phenomenon", the University of Huelva's resident meteorite expert José María Madiedo told Spanish daily ABC
"There were people who saw the fireball while they were driving and who had time to park, and get out of their car, and there was still light in the sky," Madiedo said.

Fireball Over Banff Turns Night into Day (Dec 20)
Calgary photographer Brett Abernethy was out in Banff shooting aurora over the night sky early Saturday when he captured what appeared to be a fireball zipping over the mountains.
Abernethy said he and a fellow photographer were set up at Johnson Lake taking a shot of Mount Rundle at around 1:22 a.m. when the sky lit up.
“It fragmented into three pieces. We were both in awe. Then I realized my shot was exposing as it was going on,” he said, adding he used a 40-second exposure.
“Everything was lit up like daylight,” he told the Weather Network.
Calgary astronomer Alan Dyer said in an e-mail that by looking at the photo, it appears to be a fireball, “and a bright one at that — a natural meteor entering the atmosphere and burning up.”
It’s not clear from the photo if fragments might have survived to reach the earth, Dyer added.
