I hear ya....Asteroid TX 68 is due to pass march 5-9. Has the same peramiters as the russian one. The next few weeks will be interesting. BPearthwatch has good videos on it on you tube. It is supposed to pass at 11,000 miles or as far as 9 million. Has condition code 8.

Condition codes go from 1 (very certain) to 9 (very uncertain).

RT did a piece on the russian one, and they said that one had 20 companions........if I knew how to post them I would.

I've seen a few fireballs in my time, and in my opinion if it was burning green that's just what it was. But sounds like a big one.

a reply to: zeetroyman

I saw a flash through my window last night, I thought someone used a camera. I'm in Nottingham area.

A new Youtube video with a collection of dashcam footage: www.youtube.com...



In the last one, you can see the actual meteor.

I'd say such events happen every year, it's just that most of them may happen over the ocean or desert, and would go unnoticed. Since this one happened at night, the flash was a lot more noticeable than if it occured in daylight. The object probably wasn't larger than a meter.

This is an old graph I'm looking for a newer one odd I can't find it because I did just the other day...
Anyway these are definitely on the rise and not just gaining more attention because of social media...
We have had TV news paper and radio magazines...
all these methods have been used in the past to report on such incidents...

Is it me or are these things becoming more frequent recently ?

They aren't. It's just that with instant news and Facebook and Twitter we hear about every single case.

Thanks for ousting the video Wildspace.

Yet the graph above your post suggests they are ?

If anyone can post any evidence to prove they aren't increasing then that would be great

few more testimonies starting to come in via the BBC news site, seeing as us scots are now awake

www.bbc.co.uk...

"Garry J Hunter contacted BBC Scotland to say he had seen the flash over Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire. He described it as "a huge fireball-like trail across the sky, which seemed to then explode and light up the whole sky".

"Heather Mullan, from Aberdeenshire, said: "The sky seemed to slowly brighten then there was a double flash of intense light then nothing.
"About 90 seconds later there was a double muffled sound like a sonic boom. We assumed we had just witnessed a meteor although no meteor showers are due. It was spectacular."

and finaly for all us conspiracy theorists:

"Phil Hoyle was leaving the Balmedie Country Park, near Aberdeen, when he heard a "humming noise" over the sea.
He said: "When I looked I could see this light moving quickly with a small white tail, but it stopped over the sea and had a shape to it."

Hmmmm

I'm absolutely livid! I've only just returned from Scotland this weekend I spent a week out in the hills of the Cairngorms. If I were still there I'm sure I would of seen it.

I miss all the good stuff!

a reply to: zeetroyman

Phil Hoyle said a mouthful there, that's some interesting information...

press and journal aberdeen with some updates:

"And one mum in Alford said her daughter and yoga teacher had watched a “big purple ball of fire” lit up the sky in Alford, Aberdeenshire.

They reported that it had landed in the field behind the new academy, while several others believed they had seen it come down in Lhanbryde."

www.pressandjournal.co.uk...

Purple ball of fire? Violet = a lot of Calcium in the meteor from what ive researched?

The Yoga sighting at Alford New Academy and Phil Hoyles at Balmedie Country Park are roughly 25 kilometres apart E -W or W - E depending on which way this thing was travelling.

We've either got it breaking up over Aberdeen and coming down in separate locations or two separate events.

a reply to: zeetroyman

Different colors being reported that is odd...
Stopping in mid air that's odd too...
Landing in a field that's odd as well...I would not use landed to describe a crash or an impact would you?
Rather interested now...
I'm thinking with the seperate flashes different colors stories locations and directions that something in the sky was fired upon and was struck and crashed or avoided and landed...
At least that's what I want to believe...

a reply to: zeetroyman

How common is it for parts to actually " land " somewhere ? I ask because I did see see the huge flash that lit up the sky at around 7pm last night, stunning ! (I am NE Scotland, at the bottom of Glen Esk. A great area for sky watching with no light pollution )

My regional community page was full of reports within minutes from my area and people were reporting shaking windows, doors and houses being shook. So is this a result of the sonic boom ? Or would parts have crash landed somewhere close ? .....would love to find some meteorites !

We seem to be on a flight path for some pretty exotic aircraft, which regularly buzz around our cottage flying pretty low and this too shakes the windows with sonic booms. Coincidentally, earlier yesterday, two low flying Hercules.
Digress, sorry.
Forgive my ignorance, I do try to deny it !

a reply to: 5StarOracle

Let's be honest, none of us here (I hope) actually believe anything landed or stopped mid air right ?

The huge flash and loud noises suggest it broke up in the air, there may be a small fragment that hit the ground but the chances of that are very slim ?

I don't consider SOTT as a reliable source i'm afraid. Just like i wouldn't consider ATS or any other conspiracy site to be a reliable source. I need to see about where they have got their info from, which unfortunately, i don't have time now.

a reply to: 3danimator2014

I'm guessing the reply messed up and you meant to reply to me ?

I agree that SOTT is not great as an original source but their graph clearly states they got the information for it from the American Meteor Society, is that a more valid source do you think ?

a reply to: Discotech

Yet the graph above your post suggests they are ?

It suggests that they are reported more, the reports have increased.

Which corresponds with what others have said, the increase in technology, dash cams and other surveillance cams will likely capture more events than before.

With events being reported nationally or internationally it gives people a reason to look up more so than before, it gives people a reason to set up cams to try and capture an event.

Are they actually increasing?

Not enough data and coverage to conclude they are world wide increasing now compared to 50 years ago.

Once more coverage is set up and there is global coverage to capture fireballs and years of data is when conclusions can be made and that will only only conclude an increase over that time period not all of history.


IN 2013 there were 18000 reports compared to 900 in 2005.

if the 18000 reported in 2013 was the total number of actual events world wide and every event was witnessed and reported ( which I think it isn't and there were many more that were either not reported or witnessed) the 900 in 2005 could only be a fraction events and an indication that there were less eyes on the sky compared to 2013.

in 2005 the number of actual events could have been higher and happened over remote areas where no one witnessed it or they simply weren't reported.

Over the years as they got more coverage, more were reported to the authorities such as the meteor society, more are picked up on surveillance due to more surveillance being available in recent times compared to years ago.

These graphs that show an increase only prove that more are reported not that more events are happening.

a reply to: InhaleExhale

I disagree, it doesn't explain the massive spike from 2012 to 2013 we're talking a 300% increase in reports, that cannot be solely placed on your reasons.

Unless you're saying that suddenly between 2012 & 2013 300% more people happened to discover the internet and technology for the first time ?

The graph actually tells you more than what you think, if you look from 2005 to 2010 it's a pretty stable linear rise which for that part I do agree it's due to more people being able to report, however from 2010 onwards it's an exponential rise which cannot be accounted for solely due to more people having the ability to witness/report.

Also if you look at the Events confirmed plotting there is a clearly an increase

Why not?

No I think its because the 2012 phenomena become quite main stream, MSM reporting on various ideas that were previously a part of the alternative media, Hollywood movie in 2009 further pushing more people into looking the phenomena and get lead to Planetx and Nibiru ideas which in turn creates more people observing the sky they they might have before.


On the other hand there could have been increase in actual events but all the graph proves is reported events increased.

I believe they will keep increasing, what I wont do is suggest it means anything other than reports are more incoming.

These suggestions lead to speculations about conspiracy theories that mirror movies like deep impact or Armageddon or 2012 where there is some massive cover up of truth concerning whats out there and what disasters we face.

The graph actually tells you more than what you think, if you look from 2005 to 2010 it's a pretty stable linear rise which for that part I do agree it's due to more people being able to report, however from 2010 onwards it's an exponential rise which cannot be accounted for solely due to more people having the ability to witness/report.

again this is easily explained by the larger MSM coverage influencing the public and the increase in personal surveillance.

Dash cams in recent years has allowed people to get lower premiums on the insurance so have greatly increased in numbers in the last few years.

Not the ability to witness and report but the influence from media, main stream and alternative alike along with the increase in surveillance.

Also if you look at the Events confirmed plotting there is a clearly an increase

Yes, why might that be?

Could it be because projects that designed scan the skies more so than before?

Even if they are increasing at exponential rate, what do propose the purpose of the increase might be?

How do you show that it is increased over a century and has been constantly increasing over history?

They might increase in numbers for a certain decade, year, or any period of time to ten decrease for a few years or what not.

What I am saying is there is no direct evidence that they are increasing world wide compared to periods of time in history, because the data is not there, yes the graphs show they have increased from one year to another via reports and observed and confirmed events but what does that mean?

I guess it allows more doom porn to posted, which is OK with me
