"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."

Massive Fireball Over Iowa and Minnesota
The AMS has received over 1050 reports so far about a fireball over the border of Iowa and Minnesota. (Dec. 26th) around 5:35pm central time
Witnessed described a fireball as bright as the Sun that fragmented into many parts. Several witnesses reported sonic effects associated with the meteors including at least three reports of delayed booms.
With 1000+ witness reports after only 14 hours, this event is already the 5th most reported fireball in the history of the AMS online reporting system
Current heat map for the event that shows where the witnesses reported from
Large Fireball Observed Over Tennesseeand Alabama (Dec 17)
The AMS has received 70 reports so far about a fireball over central Tennessee last night around 8:20 central time.
The burst from the event was brighter than the full moon.
The fireball was captured on a NASA camera in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Cameras picked it up 52 miles above Interstate 24 south of Manchester and lost track of it about 23 miles northwest of Shelbyville.
The fireball was also spotted over parts of AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MS, and NC.
While the media is portraying this event as part of the annual Geminid meteor shower, which doesn't begin until Dec 12, it should be noted that shooting stars don't shake houses.
Fireball Explodes Over Arizona, Observed Across 4 States (Dec 10)
A resounding boom roused Tuscon residents from their dinner tables Tuesday and had them pointing up to the sky.
It exploded, rattling their houses, and a dash cam captured it on video as it vanished in a bright blaze.
Frantic eyewitnesses across the state called local news outlets to report what they saw.
"I see this tremendous, white, bright light in the western sky. And it was just ... it was absolutely enormous, I couldn't believe it."
"Did y'all see the meteor that flew above Tucson? Crazzzzy. That was toooo craaaazy!"
AMS has received dozens of reports on this fireball from Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.
Huge flash of blue light' spotted around Montreal, Ottawa most likely a meteor
Published Wednesday, Nov. 27 2013, 12:45 AM EST
Scientists say that hundreds of reports of a “blue flash of light followed by a loud booming sound” around Montreal and Ottawa are consistent with a possible meteorite strike.
Hundreds of people took to Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday around 8 p.m. (ET) to report the sight. And though researchers have yet to confirm it – either through sonic radar or surveillance video – they say that it was most likely a meteor.
“Hundreds, if not thousands of people are chiming in through social media, Internet forums and in comments on news media articles, saying there was this bright flash of light followed by a loud booming sound – probably a sonic boom,” Royal Astronomical Society of Canada spokesman Andrew Fazekas said.
“There were some suggestions it could be a weather-related event, like a thunderclap associated with this winter storm that went over the region, but the fact that it was felt and seen over such a large geographic area, and the description of the blue light and the sonic boom – I think it was a meteor event,” he said.

Greece, Nov 29th
Meteor falling into the sea at night time in Greece, on the island of Zakynthos to cause panic in citizens but concluded that there was no damage. Greek official news agency ANA-MPA reported, eyewitnesses of the air with a violent explosion that lit up one of the object, like a ball of fire fall very quickly towards the sea, the statement was given.

Bright meteor explodes over the skies of the South: green heels and roar on the Ionian Sea- ITALY
In the evening, around 20:30, a big ball of fire went through the skies of the South for more than 10 seconds, seen by thousands of people especially in the areas Joniche from where we had hundreds of reports from Calabria and Sicily. Catanzaro, Reggio Calabria, Messina, Catania, Siracusa, Ragusa: these are just some of the cities from which the meteor has been spotted everywhere with the same features, deep green and lit up the sky almost daily. In Catania, some have even experienced a loud roar. It 'was without a doubt yet another fireball meteor or meteoroid scientifically defined, is a fragment of rock the size of a small stone, which enters our atmosphere at very high speeds, which in certain circumstances may be more than 260,000 km / h. The vision of these bodies is characterized by a ball of fire falling from the sky quickly, leaving behind a trail of light lasting a few seconds. These meteors can take various colors: from white to red, from green to orange. Continue...

San Diegans Report Bright Mystery Flash in Skies
San Diego residents reported seeing a bright, mysterious flash in the skies Wednesday night visible across the county. One resident told NBC 7 San Diego he saw a "bright flash" in the sky just before 8 p.m. southeast of downtown San Diego. Another San Diegan reported seeing a "crazy flash" over the skies east of Ramona, while a Chula Vista resident said he saw a "huge flash of light in the sky," possibly coming from the San Ysidro area. Residents in Spring Valley, El Cajon, Lakeside, Vista, Lemon Grove, San Marcos, Poway, Clairemont, National City and other communities also reported the flash. Multiple NBC 7 viewers suggested the flash may have been a shooting star. No explosions, downed aircraft or power outages were immediately reported in the county. As of 8:15 p.m., San Diego lifeguards, the San Diego Police Department, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department confirmed their respective agencies had not received any type of emergency calls that might explain the flash. ....
A little after midnight, to be precise in 0:36:59 hours, the second of November, above Sarajevo in the multiple blast through the atmosphere penetrated meteorite body whose parts could fall to the ground as meteorites.
Bosnia-Herzegovina meteor network run by Astronomical Society Orion and Federal Hydrometeorological Institute in Sarajevo (cameras in Sarajevo, Gradacac and peninsula) registered a raid of bolides with magnitude above -9 as bright as the moon in the first quarter.This is the brightest meteor-bolide that has been observed so far during the probationary BH meteor network.
Fireball flew at a speed of about 20 km / s and turned off at an altitude of about 30 kilometers, which, according to previous experience of astronomers, it means that the possible eventual decline of the body to the surface of the Earth.According to preliminary calculations of experts from the Astronomical Society of Orion, the crash would be the area of a triangle-Bugojno Zenica-Travnik.Meteorite bodies arrive below this level, if not completely fall apart, depending on their composition, they give us a chance to find them as a meteorite.
Remember the adage: The early bird catches the fireball.
At least that's what early risers in Clark County and much of the Pacific Northwest can claim if they were looking at the sky at 5:55 a.m. Wednesday morning.
That's when a brilliant whitish-blue fireball streaked through the sky for about eight seconds, according to reports from across the region.
OMSI and the American Meteor Society are hoping that those who saw it will report in with details on the Web at http://www.amsmeteors.org/.
"Those people who saw it, they'll remember it for the rest of their lives," said Jim Todd, OMSI's director of space science education.
The short duration in the sky makes fireballs hard to photograph, but Todd said he's hoping a security camera or other device may have captured the event.
Todd didn't see it himself, but he's seen other fireballs in the past at OMSI star parties.
"It's pretty exciting," he said.
The Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency had no reports from the public about the event, a dispatcher said.
But the AMS website had more than 40 reports from Oregon, Washington and other states by noon on Wednesday.
One person who reported seeing it in Vancouver said it was the "first (fireball) for me, coolest thing other than northern lights."
Another person in Longview said it was the "biggest ever seen by me."
Fireballs are created by meteors that burn as they travel through Earth's atmosphere. They heat up because of friction with the surrounding gasses.
There's a scale for reporting the brightness of fireballs. A magnitude -3 or -4 is as bright as Venus in the evening sky. A magnitude -12 is as bright as the full moon. A magnitude -26 is as bright as the sun.
The magnitude of Wednesday's fireball appears to be around -8 to -10, Todd said.
In the sky over Clark County, the event would have been to the north near the horizon, Todd said.
Details, like the color, location and if there was a sound, can help scientists determine the speed, composition and other aspects of the meteor.
"One key would have been if there were a sonic boom reported, that might indicate some parts of the meteor survived," Todd said. "Meteors also come in much hotter than man made space debris (like satellite parts)."
The blue-white color of Wednesday's meteor suggests it was traveling very fast and very hot, and that the composition is probably nickel iron or some other metal, which is typical of an asteroid. A orange or yellow color would indicate it was moving more slowly.
"The timing of fireballs is sort of random, but this certainly won't be the last one," Todd said. "They happen all the time."
