Large bolides explode/ 'wows' observers| Turns dark city into daytime! - Jan
14, 2016
More January 2016 dramatic sky events are surfacing as large objects continue to
rain down upon earth with two more videos of probably many many more that we are
not aware of. 2016 compared to past years is starting off with a significant
increase in drama over major cities that people actually have a chance to video.
There are probably 20x more that we aren't even aware of.

Eyewitness descriptions suggest 12 missing Marines aboard 2 downed helicopters
off Hawaii were taken out by meteor explosion - 15 Jan 2016
"It was like daytime," said Chase Tantog, 21, who was fishing at Chun's Reef
when he saw what he thought was a meteor falling from the sky. "It was just a
big fireball coming down," he said. "There was debris, too, on the side, like
coming off. Once it hit the water, it just blacked out and then you hear the
thunder roar after. It was really loud."
The obvious explanation is that the two helicopters were taken out by the
shockwave from an overhead meteor fireball explosion, the force from which
suddenly and catastrophically disabled the craft and scattered their debris over
a wide area.

Airplane pilot Mike Grossman, while flying 1500FT over the Hudson River,
captures a very rare sight from a GoPro external wing camera of his Piper Archer

A bright, very low flying fireball penetrated earth’s atmosphere just to the

Also, Alexander Salvador of Church Falls, Virginia recorded the luminous bolide
at the exact same time 6:16pm EST from a few hundred miles away on the ground
with his dash cam!
This was a Major Event as hundreds of reports were sent in to both of the main
meteor sighting hubs, LunarMeteoriteHunters and American Meteor Society.
The fireball was witnessed in at least 12 different states and 2 countries!

NASA space data supports citizens' observations: Meteor fireballs are increasing
dramatically - 09 Jan 2016
SOTT.net last looked in detail at the frequency of meteor fireballs in 2013,
using the data garnered by the American Meteor Society (AMS). SOTT.net pointed
out the increasing frequency of fireballs1, and asked the question: "What does
2014 have in store?"
Well, the results are in, and the answer is simple: comparing 2014 to 2013,
the frequency of fireballs increased by 120%. Comparing 2015 to 2014, fireballs increased by 20%. That is a significant increase, and it should be generating a lot of
attention. If it is, then it's being done very quietly behind closed doors.

NASA creates a 'Planetary Defense Coordination Office' that will track meteors
headed toward Earth - 10 Jan 2016
Why is NASA suddenly so concerned about meteors and asteroids hitting the Earth?
After telling us that "no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in
the next several hundred years" last year, NASA is now spending millions of
dollars to set up a "Planetary Defense Coordination Office" that will be headed
up by a designated "Planetary Defense Officer". According to NASA, more than
13,500 near Earth objects have been found so far, and another 1,500 new NEOs are
being discovered each year. Approximately 10 percent of all near Earth objects
are one kilometer or larger in size, and if one of those giant space rocks ever
hit us, it would likely be considered an "extinction
level event". It makes sense
that NASA would be concerned about this threat, but why now?
The announcement of this new office was made on Friday, and very few mainstream
news outlets covered it.

One comet to swerve closer to Earth than any other comet in centuries -
March 18, 2016
Astronomers discovered the trailing member of the pair, P/2016 BA14, a few
months ago. It was shrugged off as yet another asteroid, or space rock. Then
astronomers peering through a telescope saw it had a tail – and was therefore a
comet. That means BA14 and its larger companion "are among the closest comets to
pass by Earth in recorded history," says Knight, who took the first snapshot
revealing BA14 is a comet. The only comet known to have skimmed past us at a
smaller distance was Lexell’s Comet in 1770.

Jupiter Just Got Hit by A Comet Or Asteroid ... Again - March 29, 2016
Take that, Jupiter! The largest planet in the solar system just got whacked by
an asteroid or a comet, and some intrepid stargazers have captured the planet's
latest collision on camera.
Amateur astronomer John McKeon was observing the king of planets by telescope
from Swords, Ireland, on March 17 when he captured this stunning time-
lapse video of something hitting Jupiter. McKeon was recording the transit of
Jupiter's moons Io and Ganymede with an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and
his ASI120mm camera when something struck Jupiter, and he struck cosmic pay
dirt.

WATCH: MOMENT METEOR IS 'STRUCK BY UFO TO PREVENT IT CRASHING TO
EARTH' May 21, 2016
CONSPIRACY theorists claim these images could show "friendly aliens"
in the process of saving the planet from a destructive meteor
strike.
The shocking theory emerged after the release of footage of a fireball
exploding in the skies above Maine, New England, USA
Clips of the natural phenomena show what appears to be a second, smaller
object entering the Earth's atmosphere during the event on Tuesday.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) has since confirmed a second object was
present, but says it was just a smaller fragment of the meteor as it
broke up in our atmosphere.
However, the seemingly satisfactory explanation, has done nothing to
dampen speculation from die hard alien chasers looking for evidence of
extra terrestrial visitations.
The most popular theory is it was an alien craft dispatched to destroy
the meteor to prevent an impact.

Russian Meteorite Warning Issued Just Hours Before EgyptAir Flight 804
Crash - May 21, 2016
An intriguing Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the
Kremlin today is strongly suggesting that the 19 May crash of EgyptAir
Flight 804 over the Mediterranean Sea was due to its being struck by a
debris fragment from a large meteorite that first encountered our
Earth’s atmosphere on 17 May over North America, broke into numerous
parts with one large piece falling on South American on 18 May, and left
a debris field so large the Aerospace Defence Forces (ADF) issued a
warning to all S-400 missile commands operating in Syria to be on the
alert for "false positive readings"
According to this report, on 17 May the Okno optoelectronic space
surveillance complex in Tajikistan sent an alert warning to the ADF that
it had “detected/discovered” a near Earth asteroid approaching the
atmosphere over North America at a speed estimated to be around 67,000
kilometers-per-hour and having an estimated mass of 8,000-10,000 metric
tonnes.
After this meteorite [actually called a bolide in this report using the
astronomy definition of this word] struck the atmosphere over North
America, this report notes, it broke up into “many/numerous” pieces with
some being ejected into a higher orbital "plane/trajectory" and the
largest part falling back to Earth less than 24 hours later when, on 18
May, over the South American nation of Argentina, it exploded upon
entering the atmosphere causing tremors to occur too.
With tens-of-thousands (if not hundreds-of-thousands) of this meteorites
fragments (estimated to be between 5-60 centimeters) still expected to
fall into our Earth’s atmosphere between 18-20 May, this report says,
both Okno and Kanopus satellite data determined that the “areas/regions”
most likely to affected by this space debris lay between Greenland and
Australia due to the original North-South orbit of this meteorite— with the center point being the Levant.

as the screen shot below shows they have done in this instance. As
