Meteor explodes in sky over Oklahoma City

Just stumbled upon this and could not find it posted yet.

What's up with all the meteors these days ?



And another angle:

SO JELLY!

I wish I could see a meteor like that!

WOW, wonder which way it was traveling. I live 2 hours directly east of Oklahoma, too bad it was cloudy and rainy this morning

Cool, thanx for posting.

Odd. A very spectacular fireball and not a single report on AMS.

I assume this is a meteor from the comet that passed by earlier this week?

There was no "comet that passed by earlier this week."

Im wondering if there was any sound associated with the bright flash at the end....? BOOM or PFFFFT

"This morning" was on the 19th.

I like how both vids are 11 seconds long xD

Edit:

Another video www.youtube.com...

I'm not sure why, but something is fishy about these videos.
The audio is completely muted for 2 of the videos, 2 of the videos are 11 seconds long, 2 of the youtube channels both have only 3 subscribers. All 3 videos are in the "People and Blogs" category.

Then if you look at the video I linked, way it explodes, it doesn't seem to light the land up. If you look at videos of the explosion of the russian meteor, and heck the Nasa rocket that exploded, then you will see how the area around there light's up as if there is a ton of sunlight. You don't see the effect here.

I'm not the type that normally yells out fake whenever I see a video, so don't bash on me!

Very awesome! One of the nicest meteor vids I've seen.
I would have expected a boom from that baby. Just WOW!

I love the smell of conspiracy in the morning.

In case they are fake, it's pretty damn good CGI I have to say.

EDIT: A quick google search reveals a couple news outlets are reporting about the event, so I have to lean towards "authentic"

Mirror UK

Except that article only references the video you posted.
Except that no one reported a very spectacular fireball to the AMS.


Except that fireballs are easy.

That was a cool video!

But...


I dunno why but it screams fake in my head.

Regardless, thanks for sharing!

Looks fake, mainly because it's way too slow for a meteorite. And the first vid, the cameraperson just happened to be running along and then aimed the camera at the sky......nah, and like one poster said, the 'light' of the explosion didn't light up any of the area in front of the camera.

5 reports on the 19 from Texas and ok

www.amsmeteors.org...

I say real and just another freak thing in OK

Eta yea I'm sure they all posted them just to fool us...really? Just really?

If Phage had looked and said "5 reports from ok and texas" it would have been case closed.

Not my fault he can't read his own link

Something like this would have many more than five reports. Fake as the driven snow on the equator. Maybe the five reports were from the hoaxers and their friends.

Oops, already posted. Can't say whether this is fake or not. Looks legit in the third video, but the first two are almost identical. Must have been neighbors... On top of the earthquakes and tornadoes, I'm kinda glad I don't live in Oklahoma.

This vid shows the ground lit up a bit more (the driveway of the home), so, a little better chance of it being real. But it moves veryyyyy slow for a full daytime fireball (and why is it darker outside in this vid? A different part of town maybe, where the sun was in shadow).

a reply to: Phage

Except that at least three uncorrelated youtube accounts have posted three different angles of the event.

Except that no witness knows this mysterious AMS site.

Except that it is in your nature to explain everything away as mundane.

We'll see how it turns out. My gut feeling on this one: legit. And I've seen my fair share of fakery.

Geez, I have heard of UFO debunking but... Meteor debunking? AYFKM? What the hell is the point in that? Why would someone go through so much trouble to fake a video of a meteor? You know, things do happen that are real, right? My mind is just blown. I don't know maybe it is fake but that would be stupid as f### in my opinion. We'll see.
