- Scientist Claims Massive Crater In Akure, Nigeria Caused By METEOR IMPACT - 30 Mar 2020
  A Professor of Geophysics at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife has debunked the explanation given by Ondo governor Rotimi Akeredolu and the police for the deafening blast experienced early on Saturday (28March) near Akure.
  Professor Adekunle Abraham Adepelumi, after leading a research team to the site said emphatically it was caused by a meteorite.
  The P.M.News first reported that the blast, which left a crater on its trail, and destroyed several buildings, was caused by a meteorite.
  "Our findings suggest that the impact of the blasting covers 1km radius of the surroundings of the crater.
  "The field evidence point to a conclusion that A METEORIC FROM AN ASTEROID BELT THAT TRAVELS AT A GREAT SPEED FROM SPACE IMPACTED THE LOCATION AT AN ANGLE OF 43 degrees created an ejecta at South-Western part.
  "No evidence of buried vehicle, buried ordinance or IED was found. However, crack opening that vary in thickness from 3mm to 4metres occurs on the wall of most of the buildings but not at the base of the buildings.
  "Also, foreign rocks and strange metallic objects were found within the crater. Most of the destruction occurs on top and roof/ceilings of the buildings."

    The comet�s last Earth fly-by was sometime around 4000 BC when it was witnessed by early ancient Egyptian farmers as well as Neolithic tribes in Ireland, northern Scotland and across Scandinavia, but this most recent pass was first spotted on December 28, 2019 by Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System ( ATLAS).
    The comet's atmosphere measures five times the physical size of Jupiter and about half the size of the Sun and scientists say that by the end of April the space rock will appear brighter than Venus in our night sky. As it approaches our inner solar system, the comet will become one of the brightest objects in the night sky and according to a report in the Daily Mail �potentially the comet of a generation."
    According to a recent ABC News piece, Michael Jager from Austria - the scientist who captured images of the comet Atlas or formally �Comet C-2019-Y4 Atlas�, described it as a "brilliant suicidal comet that baffles astronomers." The exact size of the icy rock isn't known, but it�s likely to be only a few miles across with a much larger atmosphere.

  - Meteor Fireball? Mystery Burning Object Leaves Smoky Trail For 20 Minutes Over Cambridgeshire, UK - 17 Apr 2020
    
    The mysterious plume was there for several minutes after an object was seen spiralling towards earth
    He was sitting outside his canal boat in Stretham, having a little fire, when he spotted the trail. He said: 'It looked like a very thick chemtrail to start with. It looked like a short, skinny cloud. It wasn't moving quickly at all. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a meteorite, because they are gone in seconds.
    'We have seen hundreds of shooting stars, but this definitely wasn't that either. This was coming down very slowly and spiralling. It started to glow orange as you can see in the pictures.
    Comment: The electrical interaction of meteor fireballs with different charge layers of the atmosphere can cause them to appear to move 'slowly and spiraling.' In September 2019 a bright slow-moving meteor fireball was recorded over the English Channel.
    'There were flames coming out of the back of it as well. It was really unusual.'
    Burning object spotted spiraling through sky for up to 20 minutes Video
    Gerry took several pictures of the burning entity dropping through the sky, in which a huge trail can be seen behind it as it descends into the distance.
    Gerry said he was watching the unidentified object fall through the sky for 'between 10 and 20 minutes,' as it was coming down so slowly.
    Eventually, the burning mass disappeared behind the trees in the distance.
    He said: 'The sheer size of it is what's got me. When you look at the pictures, they show the trees in the foreground and it's way beyond that, it was very big.
    'It landed beyond the horizon, that's how big it was - we couldn't see it land.'
    There is no evidence that it landed, it apparently just passed by Earth and kept on going. It was one, or a fragment of, one of the B Swarm Cluster 1 Red Comets
