Well there was a 4.6 seismic event in the Hindu Kush region at 2:52 .....but since quakes happen there all the time I am thinking it was not an impact.

Still.... Many amateur astronomers would have their scopes pointed at this thing right? Not one of them are ATS members.... Nobody has anything more to say on this?... Did the darn thing take up a parking orbit?!?!

What gives?!!

This article blog.wired.com... says that meteors of this size enter our atmosphere every few months. That's news to me. From reading ATS today, I thought this was a rare event.

The blog-article also states that there will be many astronomers filming this meteor's entry because it's the first one where we've had advance notice.

Thats what ive been trying to say!! This nothing new...happens all the time. Its just fearmongering and terror being spread by ATS surrounding the Oct 7th date. When the 7th comes and goes with nothing happening i hope folks learn to start taking ATS info with a HUGE grain of salt.

In other words, if you see it posted on here, dont believe because it is not gonna happen. Do the oppositie LOL.

That goes without saying obviously. It could have skimmed only very thin atmosphere , but I'm talking about if it hit at a reasonably high angle producing a fireball, then obviously the height at which it becomes easily viable is bound to be a factor in how may people manage to see it.

Yep I hear ya there. Then again I guess our atmosphere is an extension of our planet, at least in their eyes.

Not connected with the topic unfortunately. That's a sun-lit contrail, and we get them on ATS all the time. That is an exceptionally bright one though I have to say!
