- SIERRA FIREBALL DECODED: -
  On Sunday morning, April 22nd, just as the Lyrid meteor shower was dying down, a spectacular fireball exploded over California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. The loud explosion rattled homes from central California to Reno, Nevada, and beyond. According to Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Envronment Office, the source of the blast was a meteoroid about the size of a minivan.
  "Elizabeth Silber at Western University has searched for infrasound signals from the explosion," says Cooke. "Infrasound is very low frequency sound which can travel great distances. There were strong signals at 2 stations, enabling a triangulation of the energy source at 37.6N, 120.5W. This is marked by a yellow flag in the map below."
  "The energy is estimated at a whopping 3.8 kilotons of TNT, so this was a big event," he continues. "I am not saying there was a 3.8 kiloton explosion on the ground in California. I am saying that the meteor possessed this amount of energy before it broke apart in the atmosphere. [The map] shows the location of the atmospheric breakup, not impact with the ground."
  "The fact that sonic booms were heard indicates that this meteor penetrated very low in atmosphere, which implies a speed less than 15 km/s (33,500 mph). Assuming this value for the speed, I get a mass for the meteor of around 70 metric tons. Hazarding a further guess at the density of 3 grams per cubic centimeter (solid rock), I calculate a size of about 3-4 meters, or about the size of a minivan."
  "This meteor was probably not a Lyrid;

  SPACE.com's Denise Chow quotes Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., who estimated that the meteor was moving at about 33,500 mph, weighed more than 150,000 lbs., and was roughly the size of a minivan. The energy released by the meteor as it entered the atmosphere was equivalent to about a fourth of the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, he said.

  Arequipa, Peru–On May 17, Thursday, someone shot video of a strange object that looks like a fireball.
  The strange fireball was seen in the sky in Arequipa, Peru and caused great surprise for onlookers wondering what it was.
  Strange enough, this isn’t the first incident with fireballs or meteoroids in Peru.
  In September 2007, more than 600 were reported sick after a meteoroid landed.
  And in August 2011 a suspected meteor streaked across the sky over the city of Cusco in Peru.

- LAURA'S DOWNPOUR OF METEORITES JUST 'MONTHS BEFORE' THE 'BIG ONE'?
  Mirror, mirror, on the wall....
  July 5, 2001
  MM:? Can you show Laura so she can describe to us, the catastrophic situation in our future, our near future?
  Laura
  A:? It seems as though it will be a progression.? Like the beginning of rain, when the first few big, cold drops fall; and then a pause followed by a few more drops; and then, a downpour.
  MM:? Describe what you are seeing?
  Laura
  A:? I see rocks - but they aren't very large.? They are like the size of your fist.? Just a few.? And they make something of a stir.? An uproar.? People will be excited... very upset.? It looks like just two - two small rocks.? And then nothing else happens for awhile, and then they forget about it.? It all dies down.? And then, a third, a fourth, a fifth and a sixth - and maybe even a seventh... isolated events, or so it seems.? Still small.? And then, a big one.? All this will go on over a period of months.
  - Meteorite shower accompanied by huge blast-like sounds hit Katol region, India - MAY 31, 2012
    "The phenomenon of balls of fire shooting from the sky accompanied by huge blast-like sounds was witnessed by many last Tuesday evening (May 22, 2012) around 5 p.m. The shower was travelling in the eastern direction and is the first such meteorite shower recorded in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra," - Bharat Adur, head of Akash Ganga Centre for Astronomy (AGCA), Thane.
    Adur said that the meteor shower was accompanied by earth tremors measuring 2.1 on the Richter Scale, but it is not clear whether the cumulative effect of the meteorites falling created the quake or it was a coincidence (that the meteorite shower and earthquake occurred simultaneously).
  - Scientists to probe Nagpur meteorite shower - May 27 2012.
    Adur said the GSI's Deputy Director-General (Central Region) Binok Kumar and three other scientists have collected small samples of the meteorites for scientific studies and now, the Mumbai team will travel there for its own independent studies.
    "They have confirmed that the pieces are indeed meteorites and this will add to the challenges before us after their physical, chemical analysis and age would be determined using radioisotope methods," Adur said.
    One of the samples recovered from Lakshmi Nagar in Nagpur measures 9.5x9x9.5 cm. Weighing nearly 700 gm, it is believed to have caused a 8x7x10 cm void in the earth.
    According to Adur, the pieces belong to a huge mass of around 30 metres in diameter which could have fallen from a travelling asteroid and entered the earth's atmosphere.
  - Meteor shower in Indian district - 09-07-2012
    At around 5:15 a.m., the spectacular event, which lasted a few seconds, was marked by sparks in the sky, said eye-witnesses from the Sarkarpara area of Jalangi.
    Meteors hit the ground like bullets, said local observers, who, driven by curiosity, followed the direction of the meteoric spark and found the spot struck by meteors at a jute field near the Indo-Bangla border.
    Jalangi Block Development Officer Prasenjit Ghosh visited the spot and filed a report to the district magistrate who has asked for the help of an expert team to examine a chunk of solid rock, around 5 kilogram, found at the spot.

  Based on the information I received, at least six houses were affected because of this meteorite shower…only stony iron meteorites have such a huge impact
  Adur said that the meteor shower was accompanied by earth tremors measuring 2.1 on the Richter Scale, but it is not clear whether the cumulative effect of the meteorites falling created the quake or it was a coincidence (that the meteorite shower and earthquake occurred simultaneously).
  Director of the Petrology Department, G Suresh has opined from a preliminary check that the black colour pieces recovered belong to a ‘stony meteorite’ and are rich in silicate minerate with minute quantities of iron and nickel. One of the samples recovered from Lakshmi Nagar in Nagpur measures 9.5 x 9 x 9.5 cm. Weighing nearly 700 gm, it is believed to have caused a 8x7x10 cm void in the earth. According to Adur, the pieces belong to a huge mass of around 30 metres in diameter which could have fallen from a travelling asteroid and entered the earth’s atmosphere.

  Sunshine Coast astronomer Owen Bennedick is urging anyone who saw a meteorite near Caloundra last night to contact him. Mr Bennedick runs the Wappa Falls Observatory at Yandina. He says he was with a group of people who saw a bright fireball in the eastern sky about 11:00pm (AEST). "We were coming back from doing the lunar eclipse in Brisbane and on the way back ... about 11 o'clock on the southern end of the coast, a very, very large what we call a fireball or a bolloid entered the atmosphere," he said.

  Several residents reported seeing an unidentified flying object – later identified as a meteor – fly or fall over Salida at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. One Chaffee County resident, Sharon King, said she saw a glowing bright white light in the sky while sitting on her porch. King told The Mountain Mail Thursday that she at first thought it was the glimmer of an airplane, until she saw the bright red tip. “I watched it arch and fall to the ground,” she said.
  Wingert said he and other firefighters checked the recreation area but found no signs of smoke. His concern was that a piece of the meteor could potentially start a wildfire. One of his firefighters saw the meteor “clearly go past the horizon,” Wingert said. He said people reported the size of the meteor to be smaller than a house and larger than a vehicle. One claimed the tail was about 2 miles long, Wingert said.

  He feared the turquoise object was a meteorite heading for a populated area, so called the police.
  "It was the size of a wheelbarrow, 2,000ft in the sky and travelling faster than a fighter jet," he said.
  "It seemed to be on fire as it had an orange tail behind it. There must be some kind of logical explanation, maybe it was a meteor. It definitely wasn't a Chinese lantern or weather balloon."
  Rob Burgess, of Cheltenham, reported a sighting at 11.47pm on the same night. It has been logged on international astrology website, Meteorite News. He saw a bright white object moving from left to right, followed by a trail of light before moving behind a low dark cloud.
