NEWS: Meteor Sightings Across 5 U.S. States

This sounds like a pretty big one over the USA last night, it was reported in several states. What is interesting is that in one article it states that NORAD has warned FEMA that this month will have a lot of activity.



I think this is quite interesting, as I thought last month was supposed to be particularly busy, which it seemed to be, but the fact that NORAD have felt the need to inform FEMA is even more suspicious!
As you can see from the links below, it even made the news briefly over here in the UK!

This is some alarming news. Since FEMA is being notified you got to suspect the possibility of some causing significant damage to be real.

So far I've not found any confirmation on the FEMA issue. I'll continue to dig and would ask that the author also. If we can't find confirmation we may have to reword the title/article a bit.

No worries, let's just see what we can verify.

it seems that aussie bloke is coming back to haunt all the doubters

Okay, I have changed the title of the article. If we can get a second source, or somebody wants to call FEMA for verification on whether the alleged alert from NORAD actually took place, post it in this thread and the title will be changed back ASAP.

Although the story at
Reports of Object "Falling from the Sky" Wednesday Night
refers to 'officials',
� the 'officials' are not 'as reported by' or otherwise supported.

Officials with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that a heightened period of meteor showers was expected to begin Wednesday night and continue through the month

Is it a lack of credibility or a lack of accreditation?
These comments appear to be 'woven' into the story to avoid the issue.
It is either a reflection of the local standards for reporting news,
�or something is trying to slide under the door.

Well, empowered with our motto of "Deny Ignorance" I believe any member who thinks this is worth getting to the bottom of should make a few phone calls.

It's not like somebody's gonna bite your head off for asking.

I suspect it could be connected with this.

I will keep my eyes open tonight to see if there will be any more activity..

The following email has been sent to David Passey - listed as Regional Public Affairs officer out of the Denton, TX, FEMA office:

There are two separate news articles out of East Texas stating that NORAD has alerted FEMA to an increased meteor activity for the rest of the month. Could you please confirm whether this is true or not? And if so, is this something they always do? I have never heard of this happening before.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

I'll post here as soon as I hear something.

I emailed both stations: editors, managers, etc.
(I am on the other side of the planet, a phone call from here= not happening)

They will probably not even consider replying,
perhaps the online story might get an 'edit' to confirm any effect, if any.

It would be convenient if an ATS member living nearby could call them though.

I am in E Texas and saw flashes high in the sky before and after the event yet there were no rain clouds anywhere around so perhaps they were smaller meteorites coming down

where do allthese showers come from?? have they secretly blown something up in space with a new weapon???

and UK weather is loopy doopy at moment no joke, rain rainstorms, sun, storms, rain, sun,sun, rain, winds 60mph plus............

We had the same thing here in Oklahoma last night.

Communication from FEMA so far:

There has been no communication between NORAD and FEMA's regional office in
Denton, TX. I will ask about communication to other FEMA offices.

My response:

Dear Mr. Passey,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and thank you for pursuing this. I look forward to hearing what you learn.

Regards,

Agent, I think you should contact at least one, if not both of the news stations quoted here and ask for verification on the statement.

check this out link to more news about it on time bomb what do you think green firballs ? or green ships

I will try and contact them when I get home after work, can't do it here unfortunatly! I see Teknik already has though, so hopefully he will have heard back by the time I get a chance to anyhow!

After revisiting the two sites claiming FEMA-NORAD reporting,
� some unusual details arise from the rubbish bin.

Aside from being the only sites to allege this idea,
� the two sites are 'sister' television stations (in Texas)
� which becomes apparent when viewing the coding of their websites.

A satellite station to Liberty's KLTV in Tyler, KTRE has uniquely
positioned itself in the Lufkin-Nacogdoches market of east Texas

KLTV 7 claims to cover Tyler-Longview (+Jacksonville)
� while KTRE-TV bills itself as covering Lufking/Nacogdoches.

KLTV 7 seems to work off of Associated Press and WorldNow
� and KTRE-TV is an ABC affiliate.

Both stories obviously arose from the same source,
� written up differently in order to apparently satisfy content differentiation requirements.

Emails querying the NORAD-FEMA assertion to mangerial and editing principals
� listed on both sites remain unanswered and unacknowledged.
There is little doubt they will remain so....

Considering the concept of hundreds of FEMA personnel mobilizing to enforce
� Martial Law arising from some scenario involving NORAD splashing a few airliners
� under a cover-story of a UFO-meteorite crash in a key population center,
� the truth is some cub reporter probably just botched their note-taking,
� something along the lines of leaving a tip for the bartender using the wrong kind of notes...

I wonder why these things always happens in the US. Im from the Netherlands. I can only say our summer is very bad this year. Only rain, storms. Very hard rain and thunders sometimes. I never saw that before. But it can also be just a bad summer and next year it will be different.
