Breaking! Meteor Travelling 114,000MPH Hits Ohio, USA (VIDEO)

In the upper left? I see one. And I don't see it falling.

People often mistake contrails for meteors.

Nifty.
For those interested in the program used to make that nifty rocket video in the first place, look here.

Nice site,thanks...would you like a nice book reference?

Tq Mr.Phage for your link..I see it, Tq Once again..

Well... I don't remember who said it, but someone in the government 20-30 years ago said that we would be using terrorists to help promote the elite agenda first, and then asteroids and other space threats second.

It is too coincidental that the news media has decided to focus on asteroids all of a sudden so much. Other than that, is there an increased threat? I'm not sure.

Ha, was there even a terrorist threat? I'm not sure about that, either. I'm not sure how much of it was spin.

A book reference for what?

51 Km/s? Wow... That little sucker was moving, huh?

Didn't anyone tell that dirty snowball that Ohio treats speeding real seriously? I'll bet they'd send the ticket to someone if they could figure out an address to send to.

Really, that is near the top end of the simulator scales for speeds you can select for something (70 km/s is around the max, I think. Always makes for a big splash into an ocean for a simulation anyway).

Phage, what causes the speed? Just a matter of how directions and angles all came together on this one for what direction everything was going when it intersected?

Was kink..of stipulated humor.
here's a good book,Pat Cornwell...Blow Fly
send me a good read.

Here are details of an object from ASGARD showing details of the event showing the height, velocity, atmospheric position and speed

If it was cometary in nature, gravity. Mostly. That piece of ice has been falling toward the Sun for a long time, increasing velocity every second. Add Earth's orbital velocity and you get...whoa!


For example, C/2012 S1 will be going 41kps when it's at Earth's orbital distance from the Sun.

That's really cool.

Notice the semi-major axis (a) is a negative value (probably). That indicates that it was a one time visit.
The very high eccentricity (e) indicates a hyperbolic orbit. Also an indication that the tiny comet got really unlucky on its only visit to the inner Solar System. Of course, we were lucky that it was a very tiny comet.

a -0.120 +/- 0.182 AU
e 8.990 +/- 12.285

Wow Thanks Phage, I check the Asgard site daily. NASA's All Sky Fireball Network
It is kind of interesting to line up the fireballs with possible comet orbits, but that one takes a lot of time and work.

Video? Not.

Thanks for making me twice as pissed off as I was a minute ago.

Could be allusory but the upper left contrail looks really high while moving pretty fast.

I wouldn't.

But an object on an orbit with a large semi-major axis (well beyond the orbit of Pluto) would be moving very fast at Earth's orbit.

Yes..i'm assuming you mean the Earths orbital speed being factored into the speed estimates of space objects?

The Earth orbital speed is about 110,000km per hour, our rotation is about 1600km per hour, so a comet or meteor travelling towards our orbital path, or in opposition to it, will have a combined speed of the velocity of the Earth and the Space object itself, whatever that speed happens to be.

And if the strike is angled against our rotation direction, that 1600km per hour will also need to be added to the final speed estimates of the meteor or comet.

Similar to a car travelling at 80mph hitting a car travelling in the opposite direction also at 80mph will produce an impact speed of 160mph.

Then theres the speed of our entire Solar system's orbit around the Galactic center...

This also works in reverse too...if the meteor is 'catching the Earth' from behind, the speed and the energy of impact will be much less.

Thanks, very interesting!

Phage

is this the second event strike Ohio?
back there there is a meteorite fall to earth and burn a house kill 2 elderly couple..Scary time,when Nasa go Off, so Space fence.

No. It's talking about the meteor on September 27th.
www.space.com...

There is no evidence that the meteor hit the ground. In fact, at that speed it is likely that it was a piece of cometary ice which would have quickly broken up upon entering the atmosphere.

Oh Phage....you party pooper!
