I saw the video of the “bright light” in the sky and had to think for a moment…… “is that one of our BLF members playing w/ his new 9X XML-U3? It’s hard not to be certain. The factory certainly looks like ”photon cannon” damage, notice the clean round opening in the wall. Only a tightly focused light beam will produce that, metorite strikes are ragged w/ scattered debris. I will now remove my tongue from my cheek…….
One of those videos has the day and the year wrong, know that guy is a accident scammer!
On another one, the overwhelming amount of ‘lumenescence’ is astonishing, seems to light up the whole neighborhood as it passes over - and I am sure tricks the light meter in the dash cam too.
I find it hard to believe the Russians (or anyone else) can detect a meteor that size (small) entering the atmosphere at ~33,000 mph - with no warning - assess the threat - decide it is be should be destroyed - launch a missile - successfully intercept the meteor.
On the other hand…what do I know about air defense missiles…
Ill go with the bit about it being intercepted by a missile ,not just russia but the usa will have been tracking it,also the shockwave is just like a blast .not getting into a scientific argument just what i think
I would be out searching for pieces that’s for sure. Even if I found a huge one it would be hard to part with. But then again it would buy a lot of flashlights.
JPL will offer live coverage of the big one’s close flyby at 17,000 miles at 11:25 a.m. PST.
Any final words in case the scientists are wrong?
Better make sure your flashlights are charged in case it impacts and creates a giant dust cloud, like the one that darkened the sun so much that all the dinosaurs kicked off.
