Large Meteorite in Russia

I, too, was wondering why they’re are so many dash cams in Russia. Article here. Sure made for some amazing videos of the meteor.

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

at least we know its not the same guy responsible for photoshopping (apparently) that new high end tech jet from Iran!

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.

Here's another video;

Rather small, but to me it's just incredible how bright it was.

another asteroid passing today

fake video

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.

final words?

FINALLY! J)

final words?

Soylent Green is People

While I can’t say what is being said that mine has been burning over there for quite a while even though it has nothing related to this incident. They did mess with the footage at the end so it looked like it blew up, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that it was fake.

If they were trying to say that the burning pit was the result of the meteor, well then yeah that didn’t happen. Nor did it get blown up overhead, footage from multiple sources verifies this.

Ehh I’m not concerned, even in the case of a catastrophic disaster I think with enough innovation we could get through it. Oil will last for a while and hydrogen a bit longer but eventually we would have to do something extreme. Even if we have to live off of nuclear reactors for a few generations and put the waste somewhere else.

It’s still cool that we understand more about these things then we have anytime in the past, but it comes with the reality that there is still a bunch of stuff that we have absolutely no clue about. No one has ever seen a meteor before impact up close and we don’t really know where or how they end up how they do.

it appears i may b completely wrong as the sly meteor approached earth with the sun behind it blinding a attempts to track it …hmmmmm

Here’s a fun toy

and a good soundtrack for while you’re playing with that

That object was approximately 1m wide. You cannot track an object of that size. And intercept it at 30km/s :bigsmile: ?

50m wide but still maybe ,maybe not who knows :slight_smile:

Guys the meteor blew up in the air due to atmospheric pressure since it was travelling so fast. Nobody shot anything at this meteor since they couldn’t detect it.

Yep, I was simply repeating what had been said. I agree though.
