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 Crosses the Caribbean (July 29)

The Cayman skies were lit up by a fairly large fireball that traveled from the direction of Belize towards Jamaica on Monday night.

“By the time the meteor got to the middle of the island, it had broken up into a number of segments and may have gone past Jamaica as well,” President of the Cayman Islands Astronomical Society, Chris Coo observed.

“This is an extremely rare event,” he said.

Fireball Seen Across Midwestern U.S. Skies (June 24)

"I've seen a lot of meteor showers an shooting stars this was the biggest and brightest object from space that I've seen. Wish I could have gotten some video it was amazing. Anyone that saw the space station go by the other day this looked 5-8 Times bigger at the front and the tail was stretched across about a fourth of the sky. It was mostly a green color with a bluish green tail and some orange falling away from it." (Louisville, Kentucky)

"It turned bright, almost from horizon to horizon northwest to southeast and got brighter at the southeast horizon, as if the body may have descended close to ground level." (Larchwood, Iowa)

"Myself and group of friends saw a huge flash in the sky and when we looked up there was a trail of red orange fire. It happened around 2 or 3 am june 24th" (Sioux City, Iowa)

"Full and very bright moon out tonight. Was looking up at outdoor lights i just finished hanging and large fireball streaks from left to right over 3/4 of the viewable sky with a long and bright tail. Longest, biggest, brightest and widest as far as the fireball and tail. No small streak, got the adrenaline going for sure." (Napa, CA)

"This remarkable fireball had a long off white tail which we saw longer than any we've ever seen. The altitude of this fireball was less than a mile. It seemed very low." (Forestville, CA)

"This was very large and seemed fairly close to the ground. It travelled very fast and cut a large arc across the sky. The green and purple colors of the trail were very bright and vivid." (Berkeley, CA)

"The train seem very long, a third of the sky. The head was sparking like it was breaking up. It was very visible even with a bright full moon."  San Francisco, CA)
