- Mystery Fireball Streaks Across Sky - July 2, 2008
  From the Hollywood Hills to the Nevada state line, people reported seeing a fireball streaking across the sky and appearing to fall toward the San Bernardino Mountains on Tuesday morning. But explanations of the mysterious object were scarce. San Bernardino County Fire Dispatch reported receiving dozens of calls related to a fireball moving at high speed in the northwest sky around 10:40 a.m. "We got quite a few reports. It started with a gentlemen in the Lake Arrowhead area reporting a fireball in the Meadow Bay area, and then we started getting calls from all over," said San Bernardino County dispatch supervisor Tom Barnes.
  "Events like this do happen around the world. But a bright meteor is not something people would usually recognize in the day," said Lance Benner, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. "The eyewitness account suggests it was a small asteroid hitting the atmosphere." The fact that it was spotted in daylight suggests it could have been farther away than it appeared, Benner said. He said it could have landed several hundred miles away.
- Fireball Remains a Mystery (http://laist.com/2008/07/02/fireball.php) - July 2, 2008
  There is still no explanation of the fireball that soared through Southern California skies yesterday morning at about 10:40 a.m. "I was in downtown Los Angeles on the 31st floor of my office and just happened to look out the window to see a bright white streak disappear behind the San Gabriel Mountains. It was over in an instant. It was huge, at least as wide as the moon, but it had a tail
  Most reports of witnessing the fireball came from within Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Even "fire crews in Barstow and on I-15 near Stateline reported seeing an object in the sky moving very fast across the northern sky and described it as yellowish green in color with streaks of debris. It looked like it burned up before it hit the ground.

- Mystery Fireball Seen Streaking Across Sky in Southern California - July 3, 2008
  A mystery fireball was seen streaking across the sky over Southern California, The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday. Witnesses across Southern California said they saw an object moving very fast across the northern sky and falling near the San Bernardino Mountains near Los Angeles. San Bernardino County Fire Dispatch reported receiving dozens of calls related to a fireball moving at high speed in the northwest sky around 10:40 a.m. local time on Tuesday. "We got quite a few reports. It started with a gentlemen in the Lake Arrowhead area reporting a fireball in the Meadow Bay area, and then we started getting calls from all over," San Bernardino County dispatch supervisor Tom Barnes said.
  "Events like this do happen around the world. But a bright meteor is not something people would usually recognize in the day," said Lance Benner, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Passadena of Los Angeles. "The eyewitness account suggests it was a small asteroid hitting the atmosphere." A relatively large, but not dangerous one, during this threat period.
- Fireball in sky not a plane, Halifax police say - July 3, 2008
  A group of children reported that a fireball nosedived to the ground in a wooded area off Herring Cove Road Wednesday evening.
  Firefighters, police and search-and-rescue teams sprang into action. As a helicopter searched from above, police rode dirt bikes through the woods.
  But as the investigation continued, it was appearing less likely that the object was a plane.
  Police said they were told that someone had fired a flare nearby, which matched the trajectory of the object the children saw.
- Bright White Fireball over Neehah, Wisconsin - July 5, 2008
  At 11:30 PM Central Time a very bright white (brighter than Jupiter was tonight. >Magnitude -2.72) fireball like object was observed traveling from the South to the North over Neehah, Wisconsin. The object maintained it's form the entire time from my perspective. A smoke trail was not seen because of the darkness.
  This was NOT A FIREWORK. I have enjoyed amateur astronomy and i was out observing Jupiter, when the event took place. I can distinguish between a firework and a meteor/fireball.
- Fireball in S.B. sky probably space rock - Jul 7 (2008)
  It was a basketball. It was a Volkswagen. It was a hunk of junk. OK. I'm being facetious about that ball of fire that flashed across the San Bernardino Mountains at about 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.
- Red and Yellow Fireball Reported Over Snow Valley, California - July 8, 2008
  A very bright read and yellow fireball was witnessed travelling West to the North-West. It was very bright against clouds. Looked like an exploding airplane, but it stuck around before fading. It appeared to be moving, but not really falling.
- Ball Of Fire Spotted On Heathrow And Gatwick Flightpath - 8th July 2008
  The new sighting near Gatwick Airport however is a very different story. The Parker family from Mutton Hall Hill have reported seeing a ball of flames streaking across the sky, that appeared to be taking the same path as aircraft heading for Gatwick and Heathrow Airport from the continent in a northwards direction.
  However, apparently the UFO then veered off to the east and vanished. The Parker family accept that it may have been a military flare as it did appear to travel with the wind although a flare from a distance often does not look like a ball of flames and more like a light. However as ususal any developments on the story will be covered here on Compare Airport Parking.
- Large meteor crosses Israeli skies - Jul 8, 2008
  A large meteor crossed Israel's skies on Tuesday evening, and was seen by many residents, mainly in the center of the country, Army Radio reported.
  According to citizens' reports, the object was seen at approximately 8:15 p.m., as it crossed the sky from east to west horizontally. Some witnesses said they saw two shiny objects in the sky, and others reported that they heard a shrieking sound.
  A Petah Tikva resident told Army Radio that he saw a beam of light, which crossed the sky in the direction of the sea. "It looked like a comet, with a long white tail, but much shinier and moving much faster," he said.
  Yigal Pat-El, chairman of the Israeli Union of Astronomers, told Army Radio that the meteor was exceptionally large, and that its entry into the atmosphere was not expected.
- Witness account: Large meteorite seen over Cyprus - 08 Jul 2008
  Between 8:25 - 8:30 pm tonight, in the town of Larnaca (Southern coast of Cyprus) I was walking by the beach when I saw in the sky something like a ball of fire moving slower than a usual falling star, followed by a bright pink/red tail. Other people on the beach saw it as well and kept talking and wondering about it.
  None of us saw anything like this before. It must have been much closer to the earth than "regular" falling stars, because we kept seeing it crossing the sky for about 10 seconds before it disappeared from view behind some tall buildings.
  It seems to have been going north, somewhere over Turkey, or maybe even Greece.
  Comment: It appears that this is the same meteorite that was seen crossing Israeli sky at 08:15 pm.
- Meteor sparks fears of UFO, Iranian missiles in Israel - July 09, 20
  A relatively large and unexpected meteor streaked across the sky over central Israel Tuesday evening, sparking widespread fears that the nation was under attack by Iran,
  Officials said the atmosphere of near hysteria was only made worse by the fact that astronomers had failed to predict this particular meteor would hit earth. One astronomer said he and his colleagues rarely miss predicting such a large meteor colliding with earth's atmosphere.
  We are in IMPACT THREAT CONDITION ORANGE!
- West Coast meteor may have landed - July 10, 2008
  The mystery of lights spotted off the west coast of New Zealand overnight has taken a twist with Punakaiki residents reporting a large bang and jolt.
  Christchurch police received reports from Hokitika to Nelson of a light in the sky between 11pm and midnight, and Wanganui police received three calls of a bright light out at sea
  "There was one big jolt and then a smaller one. It was like an earthquake but not really,"
  There was a huge bang, then a shake,"
  Barrytown resident Sandy Passant saw red lights in the sky about 11pm. She also heard a noise at 8pm, and her partner Russell went outside to investigate but could not find anything.
  "It was a very strange bang. We thought it might have been an earthquake but it was different -- just a big bang."
  Gerry Lonie was on a fishing vessel near Hokitika and saw a meteor at 11pm.
  "But there was a better one the night before -- there's been a few of them. It looked like a shooting star, it was quite a big flash but I didn't hear anything."
  Constable Sean Judd, of Westport police, said he saw a light like a "very large, close up shooting star" just before 11pm. It lasted about three to four seconds before burning out.
  "It was a white-green colour."

  - The Early 21st Century: 2007 (Part Two) - posted here 22 April 2008
    This one on or near August 2007 will be the first of many mega-fireballs capable of vapourising a US city and, likewise, will be observed over the US and Canada.
    Did Happen 11 to 13 August 2007!
    
    Eventually, in July 2008, one of these will hit the Aegean/Ionian seas, but by that time it will be nearly the size of a mile-round asteroid. That is assuming the asteroid that hits in 2008 is not Toutatis, but one of these. It is also possible a few of these will vapourise a city or cause unbelievable flooding. I saw an example of one of these "tidal storms" in a dream I had on August 17, 2006, that I will hopefully relate to you in the very near future. I believe it took place in 2008 during a time of major naval battles. This tidal storm was very terrifying.
    Maybe, Greece and 07/05 (5 July +/- 6 days) on years from 2006 to 2010 includes this predicted July 2008 event.
    
    As Planet X grows nearer, and for a period after it has passed, this phenomenon will increase, as will also another phenomenon discussed by a number of prophets (John the Revelator, Nostradamus, the Seer of Waldviertel, Ursula Southiel, and others) called "fire from the sky." More on that later.
    The comet swarm that we are anticipatng may cause impacts up through 2130.
  - The Early 21st Century: 2008 (Part Two) posted here 26 April 2008
    If Toutatis is the asteroid predicted by Nostradamus, it will smash into the Aegean or Ionian sea at the start of or part-way through the reign of Hieron (anagram of Chiren).
    When?
    Evidence in the Epistle to Henry II and the quatrains place Chiren's rule as king of France and later as emperor in the 2008 - 2016 period. France will, in fact, begin chairing the EU presidency in July 2008. Thus, should the object in question be Toutatis, and taking into consideration its four-year orbit, the likeliest time of its impact will be the year 2008. The base 7 vector for this catastrophe, in fact, is July 2008.
    UPDATE (10/7/07): Asteroid 2006 HZ51 has been removed from the risk table. It shall not strike earth on June 21, 2008 as earlier reported ... or will it? We shall see.
    I have for some time believed that the following prophecy no longer applies to Toutatis or any other asteroid bound to strike earth in 2008. Those reading the email forums over the last few years and the Prophetic Messenger Forum would know this:
    
    Revelation 8:8 ~
    And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood ...
    This site carries an impact in Nostradamus' prediction around 2015/16. There still could be an impact somewhere in 2008.

  - Meteorite trail surprises P. Arenas and Tierra del Fuego - July 18, 2008
    It is almost confirmed that the bright flash seen last Monday night in great parts of Magallaes region, included Tierra del Fuego in the extreme south of Chile was a meteorite.
    Residents throughout the region: in Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and in Tierra del Fuego Porvenir recall seeing at approximately 10:30 p.m. a bright flash in the night sky. Witnesses then heard a loud crack, presumably the result of the meteorite breaking the sound barrier as it passed over the region, reported the local press.
    Onetto’s theory was corroborated by Chilean Antarctic Institute scientist Stefan Kraus, who told Radio Polar that the object was likely a “stony” meteorite, the most common type. “All the data collected and the observations so far, confirm it”, he added.
    “Tiny pieces must have spread over miles of open range, many kilometers from Punta Arenas and in unpopulated areas of Patagonia”, said Krauss.
  - Strange object filmed in the sky above Winnipeg - Jul. 23 2008
    "It was like a red fireball falling down from the sky," Sylvia McLeod, 31, told CTV.ca Tuesday.
    McLeod said she filmed the strange object Monday night between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., just as the sun set.
    Paul Delaney, a professor of physics and astronomy at York University in Toronto, said it could be a bolide (bright meteor).
    However, he said "assuming the video timing is 'real time' it is not moving anywhere near fast enough."
    Howell added that meteors don't usually have a bright spot at the end, making it an unlikely possibility.
    Chris Rutkowski, who has seen hundreds of strange unexplained images as director of the Winnipeg-based Ufology Research Institute, said his best guess would be a plane.
  - Green Fireball Spotted over Fresno, California - July 29, 2008
    A fireball was spotted over Fresno, California traveling East to West. The fireball was brighter than a morning star and was green in color with a white tail. The fireball semmed to tay intact as it travelled. This was observed while driving north on Interstate 99, morning light before sunrise, slight haze.
  - Another Fireball Over LA? Something Seen Over Santa Monica - July 31, 2008
    Earlier this month, a mysterious fireball flew over the Los Angeles region. And now today, an e-mail tipster sends this to our inbox: "There was some sonic boom noise in Santa Monica, and all my neighbors reported hearing it, but nobody could figure out what this was. Have you heard of it? My coworker swears she saw a 'low flying shooting star that exploded over the ocean.'" Santa Monica Police report no calls about anything as such.
    COMMENT
    It is more than likely the missles that take off out of Santa Barbara. I've seen them early in the morning if I up around Malibu. Scares you because they move so fast but I believe that is what these fireball people are seein'.
  - Neon Green Fireball Over Wake County, North Carolina, USA - August 3, 2008
    A very bright neon green fireball with slight traces of orange flares coming off the back. The fireball flared up halfway in the sky at low altitude, falling at about a 35-40 degree angle not changing direction. When it flared up it had an slight small orange trail behind it and then that disappeared. No visible long contrail behind it either.
  - "Blue, sparking orb" was likely a meteor - August 5, 2008
    What witnesses described as a "blue, sparking orb" prompted several calls to police in Wall and Howell before it apparently broke apart and disappeared late Sunday night, police said.
    Bob Hampton of Ocean Township said he was driving on the New Jersey Turnpike near Kearny when he saw the blue-white object streak across the sky traveling from east to west. He spotted it about the same time some Howell residents thought it settled in the woods near Fort Plains Road.
    "It was the brightest thing I remember seeing in the night sky," Hampton said. "It just seemed like it threw a lot of sparks, and then I thought it just broke up."
    It was most likely a meteor, hitting the Earth's atmosphere at about 20,000 mph, said Louis J. Kijewski, a physicist at Monmouth University, whose academic credentials include teaching astronomy. Probably just a big meteor that had a dramatic burnout, he said.
  - 'Fireball' streaks across Bucks sky - Aug 5 2008
    The Curleys, who saw the fireball from Route 611 near Bristol Road in Warrington, were among several people in Bucks County who said they spotted what appeared to be a meteor just before 10 p.m. Sunday.

  - KILLER ASTEROID PREDICTIONS 'OFF BY MILLIONS OF MILES'
    Now it seems the true risk is unclear, thanks to minute effects that the calculations didn't take into account.
  - Avebury Manor, nr Avebury, Wiltshire. Reported 15th July.
    The new formation is obviously a diagrammatic representation of the Sun and planets (with no care for proper astronomical proportions). But the smaller inner ones (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are clearly delineated from the giant outer ones (Jupiter, Saturn Uranus and Neptune).
    And there is a huge Sun with an unusual reversing swirl lay.
    The crop circle formation at Avebury Manor seems to depict our solar-system (not in proportional scale) on December 21, (+/-) 2012 - the highly debated end of the Mayan calendar (or at least one of the most prominent interpretations of that date). Whatever this means and who-or-whatever created this crop circle, I do not know - but the basic message of it is quite clear.
  - Avebury Manor (2), nr Avebury, Wiltshire. Reported 22nd July.
  - Field Report - Unusual B.C. Crop Circle - 7-21-8
    The best-documented plant change found in authentic crop circles is apical node elongation--a stretching of the external fibers of the top node beneath the seed-head--caused by escaping steam from these nodes (a result of very brief but intense exposure of the plants to microwave radiation). In this particular formation the node elongation was observed to be massive, and clearly visible throughout:
  - Are feds stockpiling survival food? - July 24, 2008
    'These circumstances certainly raise red flags'
    "We're told that the feds bought the entire container of canned butter when it hit the California docks. (Something's up!)," said officials at Best Prices Storable Foods in an advisory to customers.
    He said a company official told him on the telephone when he discussed the status of his order that it was because the government had purchased massive quantities of products, leaving none for other customers.
    "We don't know why. The feds then went to freeze dried companies, and bought most of their canned stock," he said.
    "We don't have shelters that [are being] stocked with food. We're not doing this for the public. My only conclusion is that they're stocking up for themselves," he said of government officials.
    The impact of a large meteorite will inject dust into the atmosphere which will in turn cool the planet and limit the production of food.
  - Forget the meltdown, worry about goo and asteroids - Financial Times, 09.07.2008
    (Sir) Martin Rees, who engages with a litany of catastrophes, gave his book the provocative title of Our Final Century? But while technology causes many problems, it also fixes many. The Black Death was probably bubonic plague and if so we could now cure it. Even the asteroid can be deflected if we see it coming.
    Maybe the meltdown and a potential comet/meteorite impact are related. No sense to worry about money if we are going to be hit.

  The Curleys, who saw the fireball from Route 611 near Bristol Road in Warrington, were among several people in Bucks County who said they spotted what appeared to be a meteor just before 10 p.m. Sunday.
  COMMENT - I was sitting outside the Southampton Starbucks and saw the same thing! It was round going very fast first bright white then turned into green and died out.
  cOMMENT - I saw it too, and I'm a scientist and amateur astronomer. It was definitely NOT a satellite, space station or planet. It was too large and moved across half the sky in about 5-7 seconds . From my perspective it turned red when the object vaporized.
- Kincardine baffled by noise that shook town - Aug 07, 2008
  The Kincardine newspaper reported that a meteor shower likely caused the thunderous bangs, which sent firefighters and Ontario Provincial Police looking for a problem they couldn't find.
  That leaves the meteor shower theory. Bradley said the London Emergency Dispatch centre did receive calls from people who said they saw large streaks through the sky at roughly the same time they heard a thunderous explosion.
- A UFO in Cumberland County? - August 5, 2008
  “It looked like a shooting star, but it was a lot bigger,” Green said. “There were pale sparks and orange flames that turned blue-green. Then it was like a fireball, and right before it disappeared, there was a flash like it exploded and it was gone. It lit up the sky like heat lightning.”
  Mike Snider has been getting a number of reports like that, and he -- along with a 100 others -- saw something similar to Green’s description at the same time at the Naylor Observatory in Lewisberry Sunday night.
  David Griffith of Bucks County, formerly from Carlisle and avid skywatcher, noted he saw something similar in his skies Sunday night a little before 10 p.m. — something he wouldn't confuse with a satellite.
- A UFO in Cumberland County? (updated 11 a.m.) - August 5, 2008
  “It looked like a shooting star, but it was a lot bigger,” Green said. “There were pale sparks and orange flames that turned blue-green. Then it was like a fireball, and right before it disappeared, there was a flash like it exploded and it was gone. It lit up the sky like heat lightning.”
  “It definitely looked like an explosion,” Green said. “It flashed really brightly.”
- Mystery fireball falls from sky - 07 Aug 2008
  She added: "In the light from the lightning we could see a vapour or smoke trail behind it."
  Mrs Carpenter described it as "a ball of fire".
  COMMENT
  Tending to my horse, that stormy night,I thought I saw a distant object, so described.Could have been a flare. Dobbin was visibly spooked by the thunderbolt and lightning(very, very frightening).He was almost at the end of his tether.
  I saw the same thing which was a burning red and appears to be a flare due to the smoke coming off b and when it hit the ground further smoke came of. However it was very unusual.
- Canada probes mysterious Arctic blast - Aug. 8, 2008 YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Reports of a large, smoky explosion that allegedly killed several whales in Canadian Arctic waters is being investigated by the military.
  The mystery began July 31 when Inuit hunters at the top of Baffin Island reported the blast, followed by a cloud of black smoke and several dead beached whales, the Canwest News Service reported. Soon after, a member of the aboriginal military reservist Canadian Rangers made a similar report.
- Large Fireball that Changed Directions Over Hope Mills, North Carolina USA - August 8, 2008
  A very bright and large fireball was reported over Hope Mills, North Carolina, which is 8 miles from Fort Bragg. The object changed direction slightly moving up and down and a few feet to the left and right. The brightness was compared to a lit match when first struck. The fireball also had two trails of smoke following the fireball and travelled very slow.
  . . . ."it did change shapes to large half moon then broke up to smaller peanut shapes then went back to one large shape peanut shape.ext and so on and so on this went on for a long time."

- Skyquake Over Northeast Phoenix, Arizona - August 27, 2008
  I live in Northeast Phoenix, Az. Last night my husband and I were inside watching TV when we heard what we thought was thunder and at first we just ignored it, but it continued for about 15 minutes before we finally decided it was most unusual since we were not seeing any lightning or clouds in the sky.
- Fast Moving Blue and Gold Object Seen In The Sky Over Orono, Minnesota USA - August 28, 2008
  I then noticed a phenomenon just above me, it seemed to be at the tree line (pretty low in the sky), and travelling straight ahead in the direction I was facing. My initial instant thought was, how lovely, a shooting star, what a treat. But this did not look like any of the many shooting stars I have seen in my 50 years. It appeared to have a deep blue and gold hue, though I cannot recall if the "head" was blue, and the "tail" was gold or vice versa. It shot by rapidly and then appeared to suddenly be swallowed by the dark night sky.
  One very large ball of flame or bright light shooting in a horizontal direction, arrow straight. The color was a very deep blue, actually the color that the heading of this form appears on my computer screen, the one which reads "UFO REPORTING FORM". There was gold with the blue. I do not recall a sound. I was listening to music in my car, though not loudly as I had just driven out of a residential area and was being mindful of the hour and not wishing to wake anyone with my usually loud music.

  - Scientist Predicts Ice Age Within 10 Years - August 19, 2008
    Herrera states that the earth is entering a natural phase of climate transition during which solar activity will diminish considerably, “so that in two years or so, there will be a small ice age that lasts from 60 to 80 years.”
    Herrera cited the growth in glaciers observed at the Andes, Perito Moreno, Logan, the highest mountain in Canada, and Franz-Josef Glacier, New Zealand.
    Following the end of the Sun’s most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now plummeting.

- Fireball With Trail of Small Green Fireballs Behind - September 8, 2008 Over Arborg Manitoba, Canada
- FIREBALL OUTBURST: Yesterday, Sept. 9th 2008
  a surprising flurry of bright fireballs lit up the skies of North America. "Our SENTINEL all-sky camera picked up 25 bright meteors in a shower that began at 0620 UT and lasted approximately 4 hours," reports NASA astronomer Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This video "frame- stack" shows the outburst at a glance:
  "Most appear to have a radiant near Perseus (3.3h, +43o), leading us to hypothesize an outburst of the September Perseids," says Cooke. The September Perseids come from an unknown comet and typically produce no more than a handful of dim meteors per hour when the shower peaks on Sept. 8th and 9th. This is the first time they have been caught bursting in this fashion. Most of the meteors recorded by the NASA camera were magnitude -2 or brighter, i.e., as bright as Jupiter or Venus.
  Ongoing analyses of this outburst may reveal the orbit of the meteoroids, the location of the parent comet (if a comet is indeed the parent), and whether more outbursts are in the offing. Stay tuned for updates.

  Very deep rumble ,very high, very fast, over heavy cloud cover
- The Sept. Perseids: Sept. 9, 2008
  The September Perseids (not to be confused with the more famous August Perseids) are normally dim and few. The shower produces only 3 to 6 meteors per hour at maximum around Sept. 9th of every year. But on Sept. 9, 2008, the sky lit up with fireballs. Browse the gallery, below, for images of the surprising outburst.
  NOTICE FIGURE IMAGING FIREBALLS ON EARTH
- West Of Stratford, Ontario Fireball Sighting - August 22, 2008
  Just after dark I was sitting facing the west in my backyard, when through the trees I spotted a fiery ball approximately parallel to the line of my back neighbours roof. My view to the west is through backyards and trees, no buildings in the way. I pointed it out to 2 friends sitting with me and they both saw it. It looked like a flaming ball with dark smoke streams behind it. It traveled from the south towards the north west. My view was obscured sometimes, but I could see its path through a young willow tree by my back fence. Then I lost sight of it as it went farther north and the building blocked my view. Sadly my husband just missed it, because he is an amateur astronomer.
- BBC airs theory that meteorites hit every 1000 years - 17/09/2008
  The BBC and the National Geographic Channel are making a documentary based on the controversial theories of a Wollongong academic, who claims that meteorites hit the earth every 1000 years.
  "Ted Bryant believes the meteor impact 500 years ago created mega-tsunamis that devastated coastal populations along the NSW coast as well as parts of New Zealand," the show's associate producer, Jackie Forster, said. "It is very controversial - NASA scientists say it happened 10,000 years ago, but this group believes it happened only 500 years ago."
  There are (http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/SynopsisComet.html) five comet/meteor swarms that threaten Earth every 3300 years or so. Thus, significant impacts, some major, occur in a correlated and somewhat predictable manner every 660 years on average. Earth will be threatened with a possible impact this century. Note that Sir Martin Rees, the UK’s Royal Astronomer, (http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc042403.html) thinks "the odds are no better than 50-50 that our present civilization on Earth will survive until the end of this century." Among other things, he cites:
  
  Supervolcanoes (like the awakening Yellowstone caldera - caused by impacts ( http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/summary04paper.html)
  Near-Earth objects (like passing asteroids and comets)

- Huge Booming Sound Over San Diego, California - September 15, 2008
  Huge booming sounds about 15 seconds long with 6 seconds of silence intervals in between. Went on for a little over 10 minutes. It made all the windows in my apartment shake. Sounded like a jet engine was in my living room shooting missiles. Woke up all the neighbors. The sky was clear and there were no jets or planes visible, only some lights in the distance circling on the sky in the direction of the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. I live near the air station and am very accustomed to hearing jets fly overhead. This was completely different than anything I have ever heard and was quite concerning. Have not seen or heard anything about it on the local news or internet.

- Three surfers see the light - 26/09/2008
  EARLY risers who spotted a greenish-yellow light flashing across the shire on Monday probably witnessed a meteor.
  Surfers at Cronulla Beach who saw it moving from east to west over Kurnell at 5.20am said it lasted about five seconds before it split into three and disintegrated into a vapour trail.
  The Australian National University astronomer Rob McNaught, a specialist who searches for asteroids that could collide with Earth, said the sighting was most likely a meteor or fireball ''belly-flopping'' into the atmosphere at 30 to 40 kilometres a second.
- Early risers see fireball flash across the sky - September 26, 2008
  University of Michigan astronomy professor Mario Mateo was a little jealous when he learned a group of Ypsilanti bus drivers and a teacher saw an apparent fireball Thursday morning. Shoot. I wish I'd seen it!'' he said. "They can be very, very bright and are quite impressive.'' This bolide - or fireball - may have been nothing more than a rock up to about a foot in diameter, Mateo said.
- Meteor lights up the Chatham sky - October 4, 2008 - Posted 8 days ago
  Wayne Edwards, a postdoctoral astronomy student at The University of Western Ontario's physics and astronomy department, confirmed Thursday afternoon what the Chatham residents saw was a meteor. "We do have one meteor that was seen across our entire network," Edwards told The Daily News. "It was moving at about 55 kilometers per second. So it was motoring." The UWO has a network of seven all-sky cameras stationed throughout southwestern Ontario detecting meteors on a daily basis, Edwards said. "Some are brighter than others. This one was particularly bright
- Society for Popular Astronomy - Sat Sep 27, 2008 9:10 pm
  Observed from Worcs & Birmingham UK
  Just as I stepped outside tonight at 10:02, a very bright meteor flashed across the sky from East to West through Pegasus. I estimate it would have gone very close to theta Pegasus. It left no train and was brilliant white.
- Astronomy Picture of the Day - Bright Bolide
  On September 30, a spectacular bolide or fireball meteor surprised a group of amateur astronomers enjoying dark night skies over the Oklahoma panhandle's Black Mesa State Park in the Midwestern US. Flashing past familiar constellations Taurus (top) and Orion, the extremely bright meteor was captured by a hillside camera overlooking the 2008 Okie-Tex Star Party.
  Earlier this week the discovery and follow-up tracking of tiny asteroid 2008 TC3 allowed astronomers to predict the time and location of its impact with the atmosphere. While no ground-based sightings of the fireball seem to have been reported, this first ever impact prediction was confirmed by at least some detections of an air burst and bright flash on October 7th over northern Sudan.
- Secondary Data
  - US To Declare October ‘Economic Emergency’, Suspend Elections - September 16, 2008
    The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) is reporting in the Kremlin today that the Bank of England has received from the United States Federal Reserve Bank a ‘notice’ that President Bush is preparing to declare an ‘Economic Emergency’ during the week of October 5th and will further announce that the American Presidential election due to be held on November 4th will be ‘indefinitely suspended’.
  - US Issues Unprecedented DEFCON 1 Alert - September 26, 2008
    Russian Military Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that the United States Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, has alerted his World-Wide military commands to begin preparations for the raising of America’s Defense Condition (DEFCON) “on or about” October 7th to their highest status DEFCON 1.
    These reports further state that the FSB is ‘standing by’ their previous reports stating that the United States is entering a stage of ‘profound change’ that will see their present government completely overturned, and as we had previously on in our September 16th report “US To Declare October ‘Economic Emergency’, Suspend Elections”. A comet debris shower called the 5 October Camelopardalids appears to be associated with incoming comet/meteor #5 of the B Swarm's Cluster 1 as predicted by crop circle T367. Its logical that the USA would inform Russia of its intent to go to DEFCON 1 if the threat were a giant meteorite impact.
  - Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1 - Sep 8, 2008
    3rd Infantry’s 1st BCT trains for a new dwell-time mission. Helping ‘people at home’ may become a permanent part of the active Army
    The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.
    Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.
    Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on- call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
    The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.
  - Army deploys combat unit in US for possible civil unrest - 25 September 2008
    For the first time ever, the US military is deploying an active duty regular Army combat unit for full-time use inside the United States to deal with emergencies, including potential civil unrest.
    Beginning on October 1, the First Brigade Combat Team of the Third Division will be placed under the command of US Army North, the Army’s component of the Pentagon’s Northern Command (NorthCom), which was created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with the stated mission of defending the US "homeland" and aiding federal, state and local authorities.
    In an online interview with reporters earlier this month, NorthCom officers were asked about the implications of the new deployment for the Posse Comitatus Act, the 230-year-old legal statute that bars the use of US military forces for law enforcement purposes within the US itself.
  - Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"? - Sept. 24, 2008
    UPDATE II: There's no need to start manufacturing all sorts of scare scenarios about Bush canceling elections or the imminent declaration of martial law or anything of that sort. None of that is going to happen with a single brigade and it's unlikely in the extreme that they'd be announcing these deployments if they had activated any such plans.

- Green Fireball Over Mountain Home, Arkansas - October 8, 2008
- Meteosat-8 Rapid Scan Shoots Asteroid on Impact Over Sudan - October 10, 2008
  A rare series of events occurred early Tuesday morning, October 7, as asteroid 2008 TC3 hit Earth releasing a huge amount of light and energy before exploding in the atmosphere over northern Sudan. Even better is that amazingly, the Meteosat-8 Rapid Scanning Service managed to capture the impact.
  This brief flash was captured by Meteosat-8 in Rapid Scan Service, as the image to the right shows. The asteroid 2008 TC3, entered the Earth's atmosphere at a velocity of 12.8 kilometers per second at around 02:46 UTC above northern Sudan, Africa. As it entered the Earth’s atmosphere, it compressed the air in front of it. The compression heated the air, which in turn heated the object to create a spectacular fireball, releasing huge amounts of energy as it disintegrated and exploded in the atmosphere, dozens of kilometers above ground. The asteroid exploded with the energy of around one kiloton, equal to the power of a small nuclear bomb. Infrasound detector arrays in Kenya also detected a sound wave from the direction of the expected impact corresponding to the energy of 1.1-2.1 kilotons of TNT.
  2008 TC3 was discovered on October 6 by astronomers using the Mt. Lemmon telescope in Arizona as part of the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey for near-Earth objects. Asteroids the size of 2008 TC3 hit Earth a few times a year, but what is special about this event is that it is the first time one has been discovered before it hit.
  What is important is that astronomers were watching during these dangerous times.
- On the Trail of 2008 TC3
  On October 7, the early dawn over northern Sudan revealed this twisted, high altitude trail. Captured in a video frame, the long-lasting persistent train is from the impact of a small asteroid cataloged as 2008 TC3. That event was remarkable because it was the first time an asteroid was detected in space before crashing into planet Earth's atmosphere. In fact, after astronomers discovered 2008 TC3, the time and location of its impact were predicted based on follow-up observations. Later, the impact predictions were confirmed by sensors, including a Meteosat-8 image of a bright flash in the atmosphere.

- Quite the mystery - 10/09/2008
  A woman was roused from her sleep when ice crashed through her home's roof, injuring her.
  What Perry Foster found in the bedroom was six pounds of ice broken into chunks and a hole 12 inches in diameter between two joists in the ceiling. He could even see the sky. "I saw the ice on the floor, and I saw ice on the bed," "There were chunks of ice on the bed, which she didn't even see."
  But they also wondered if it might have been a meteorite. Mary Foster said her son-in-law found on the NASA Web site that a meteor shower had been predicted for Wednesday morning. While it's impossible to say for sure without a scientist examining the ice chunk, it is possible that a meteor came crashing through the home's roof, said Dave Dombek, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.com.
  "It is not out of the realm of possibility," Dombek said. This time of year is the peak season for the Draconids meteor shower, Dombek said. A meteor shower is created when the stream of icy debris following a comet enters the Earth's atmosphere as our planet rotates around the sun.

- It came from outer space - October 19, 2008
  IT appeared against the early evening sky like a flare - moments later roofs rattled and verandas shook as it crashed to earth.
  The meteor was spotted near where the Henbury Meteor struck 4700 years ago. That giant meteor was travelling at more than 40,000kmh when it disintegrated and hit Earth, creating 12 giant craters 145 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs.
- Monterey, California: Fiery object streaks across nighttime sky - 16 Oct 2008
  Reports came from residents from Carmel Valley to Salinas of a fireball shooting through the Tuesday night sky and hitting the Earth. A sheriff's deputy patrolling Carmel Valley saw it and thought enough of it to call for reinforcements. Turns out, the fireball was probably a meteor passing through the atmosphere.
  Deputy Joe Palazzolo reported seeing a bright light streak across the sky in a southeasterly direction around 9 p.m. He drove east on Carmel Valley Road to where he thought he saw the object crash and start a fire east of Garland Ranch Regional Park. He said the fire appeared to get larger as he got closer, but fire crews did not find evidence of a fire or a meteor.

- COLORADO FIREBALL - 28 October 2008.
- October 28, 2008 COLORADO Fireball
  This fireball occurred at 7:29 PM MDT over central Colorado. I have received over 100 witness reports, from Casper, WY in the north, Albuquerque, NM is the south, the Western Slope to the west, and the Front Range to the east.
  The image at left is from the Cloudbait camera. The meteor is seen passing almost straight overhead. It burned continuously, but where it passed behind thicker clouds at the center the computer briefly stropped recording.
  Based on data from the cameras, the meteor appeared over Colorado Springs, CO and traveled due west, ending near Cedaredge, CO. The ground path was about 270 km (170 miles) long, and the average speed was 34 km/s (76,000 mph).
- Fireball over the Northeast - October 29, 2008
  Hearing about another fireball meteor, this one spotted last evening in the northeastern sky. Here's a report from Bowley's Quarters, in eastern Baltimore County. Did anyone else spot this one?
  "Hi there, last night about 7pm I believe - Bowleys Quarters- there was an amazing fireball I saw through clouds traveling north in the north eastern sky. I haven't seen anything else on this- I know meteors are common but this was so bright and through the clouds I was amazed.
  "I am pleased to report that I just eye-witnessed a major fireball event out my window. This fireball was traveling east to west, possibly over central Colorado. It was long trailed, turquoise and green, and shed sparks ... It looks like this fireball may have been at least 300 miles north of my location."

- Huge Fireball Falling Straight Down Seen Over Great Falls, Montana USA - November 20, 2008
  My wife, father, sister and I were driving home from hunting in two separate vehicles. We were south of Great Falls heading north. My wife and I saw A "fire ball" fall straight down through the cloud deck. It appeared to be very large, and not very far away maybe 60 or 70 miles. It was reddish orange in color and had a definite fire trail. It looked like a rocket taking off through the clouds except it was falling not climbing. We asked my father and sister via walkie- talkie if they saw that. they replied that they had. Yet we have found no one else who saw it.
- Massive fireball lights up Prairie skies - November 20, 2008
  Gobeil said he thought the object hit the ground about 10 seconds later.
  "It seemed like it fell on Beaumont, but it's more likely it landed in Manitoba or Saskatchewan if it was a meteorite," he said.
  "It lit up the yard almost like midday, but just for an instant," said Trapp, who farms about 70 kilometres southwest of Saskatoon. "It was far brighter than any lightning strike I've ever seen."
  Shawn Mitchler was pumping gas at Radisson, Sask., about 60 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon, when the sky flashed green and yellow.
  "It seemed like fireworks or a missile coming down," said Mitchler, who estimates the light show lasted five to 10 seconds.

  SASKATOON, Saskatchewan - Scientists say they hope to find remnants of a meteor that brilliantly lit up the sky before falling to earth in western Canada.
  University of Calgary planetary scientist Alan Hildebrand called it one of the largest meteors visible in the country in the last decade.
  Widely broadcast video images showed what appeared to be a speeding fireball Thursday night over Saskatoon that became larger and brighter before disappearing as it neared the ground.
- Meteor lights up the Thanksgiving sky - newscast, November 27, 2008
  Our Queen Anne Tower camera just happened to be rolling on air during KOMO 4 News at 5 a.m. and captured a meteor fireball streaking across the Seattle sky.
  Just as anchor Mike Dardis was welcoming viewers back form a commercial break at 5:15, there went the shooting star right on cue.
  It's at least the second time this month a meteor has streaked across the sky. We also received several reports of a fireball on the evening of November 13th.
- December 4, 2008 Fireball G08
  I have received over 60 witness reports (shown as green dots on the map at left), as well as inquiries from Denver news providers.
  Using reports from as far west as Salt Lake City, as far east as western Nebraska, an from all around the Denver area, I have been able to approximate the meteor path (shown as a blue-green arrow on the map). It probably began over the La Junta area, and ended over the Kit Carson area. At this point I can't accurately determine its speed or angle of descent. There are a number of active meteor showers around this date, but the direction of the meteor isn't consistent with any of them.
  Witnesses reported that the flight was fairly slow, lasting several seconds, and that the meteor what white to green, with an orange core that broke up into two or three separate pieces towards the end. This description is suggestive of the sort of meteor capable of dropping meteorites, but without additional information from witnesses near the end of flight, it is impossible to know where to look.
- Fireball reported over Oregon skies - December 5, 2008
  Some Oregonians from Bend to Portland reported a bright fireball flash across the northern sky Thursday night.
  Witnesses described it as green with some orange streaking across the night sky.

  In February, a meteor was caught on camera streaking across a wide area of the Pacific Northwest.
- Colorado Superbolide - 07 Dec 2008 H08
  "I estimate the terminal explosion at magnitude -18, more than 100 times brighter than a full Moon."
  Fireballs this bright belong to a rare category of meteors called superbolides. They are caused by small asteroids measuring a few to 10 meters in diameter and massing hundreds of metric tons. Superbolides trigger seismic detectors on the ground, produce waves of infrasound that can travel thousands of miles, and they are tracked by military satellites scanning Earth for nuclear explosions. Recent examples include the El Paso fireball of 1997 and the Slovenian Superbolide of 2007.
  Last night's fireball is on the low end of the superbolide scale. Nevertheless, it was still a beauty and likely peppered the ground with meteorites when it exploded. Sighting reports are welcomed; they could help guide the tracking and recovery of debris.
- December 6, 2008 Fireball
  Based on the camera data, I have determined that the meteor began over Hwy 24 on the northeast side of Colorado Springs, at a height of 107 km (67 mi), and descended to the southwest, ending over Hwy 115 about 10 km north of Penrose. Its final height was 86 km (54 mi). The meteor had an average speed of 50.5 km/s (114,000 mph) and descended at 26° from the horizontal. Its radiant was in Ursa Major, at RA 195°, dec +58°, which is not associated with any known shower.
  The fairly high altitude of the terminal explosion, combined with a high speed, is not generally favorable for meteorite production. However, the extremely bright terminal explosion makes this a very untypical event, and it remains possible that meteorites reached the ground. The most likely location is east of Hwy 115, between the terminal explosion point and the city of Penrose.

  There are side benefits to creating a massive light display on Park Point. In this case, it meant Marcia and Zach Hales were outside at Park Point, looking toward the lake, on the night of Nov. 26.
  The grandmother and grandson saw a bright white ball with a multi-colored vapor tail trailing behind it shoot across the sky from south to north. Zach says it disappeared over the horizon; Marcia thought it dropped into the lake.
  According to the Fireball Sightings Log on the American Meteor Society Web site (www.amsmeteors.org) there were 19 different reports of a fireball between 8:50 and 9 p.m. that night. Nine of those reports were filed from Wisconsin, including folks in Iron River and Hayward, and six were from Minnesota. People in Indiana and Illinois also reported seeing a fireball with a white head and green tail, or green and blue streaks.
  Observers on the AMS site ranked the magnitude of the Nov. 26 fireball between - 13 and -27, with -13 equivalent to the light produced by the full moon, and -27 equivalent to the light produced by the sun.
  Six days before that, a massive fireball lit up the Canadian sky — that meteor’s image was even captured by a police officer’s dash camera.

- Cricket ball-meteor blazes across Western Australia - December 18, 2008
  WEST Australia was treated to a rare show last night as a meteor blazed across the sky between Perth and the Goldfields.
  Perth Observatory received dozens of reports of blue, green and orange lights in the sky between Perth and Leonora and east to Kalgoorlie just before 8.30pm.
  Experts say the fireball was probably a meteor -- about the size of a cricket ball -- burning up as it passed through Earth's atmosphere.
  Perth Observatory astronomer Ralph Martin said the meteor was spotted about 8.25pm -- just before sunset -- as it hurtled in a south-to-north direction across the southern half of WA at a speed of about 20km per second.
  Mr Martin said some callers reported seeing a "blueish flash'' as the meteor streaked across the sky. Most people only glimpsed the phenomenon for "two to three seconds.''

- Fireball streaks across night sky over Merced - Dec. 30, 2008
  A glowing tomato-green fireball shot through the black Merced sky early Saturday, stunning those fortunate enough to see its brief life.
  The flash, which resembled a bright white beach ball, moved in a northwesterly descent for about six seconds, she said.
  Then it turned blue-green. Three waves of light pulsed through the sky. It then began releasing gold and white sparks. About a minute later she heard three sharp booms that startled her dog into barking a few times.
- Tok residents abuzz over object in sky - January 2, 2009
  Was it a meteor falling from space? Officials think that might be what residents saw shooting through the Alaska sky near Tok on Monday afternoon. A tremendous explosion, like a sonic boom, drew some people outside, where they watched irregular contrails scribe a path in a clear sky.
  One caller, an adult, told Kendall an 11-year-old witnessed the entire spectacle outside. “He said it was like a big fireball that exploded, with smoke everywhere,” Kendall relayed. “The kid said, ‘I think it was a meteor,’ and I went, right. The Martians have landed. But then I got three other calls, boom, boom, boom. I was pretty shocked.”

  - Calamitous Web Bot Predictions - September 21st, 2008
    Beginning on October 7, 2008 and running through March 2009, they foresee a calamitous period on an epic scale. America will be beset by a variety of problems, which they broke down as 45-48% related to the economy, 40% concerning the military, and the rest associated with natural disasters. Between 2 and 22 million lives could be lost or seriously impacted, they estimated, possibly related to a "global coastal event" in 2009. On Dec. 10- 12th, 2008, a large quake could hit the Pacific Northwest, they added.
    The two recommended developing self-sufficiency and the ability to live off the grid.
  - Web Bot Predictions for 2008/2009 - 02/26/2008 or earlier.
    There will be a 2009 winter/spring natural disaster, which caused people to become angry about government response. With the dramatic increase in natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and more, the government’s inability to respond to the immediate needs of the people will prove to be devastating for many.
    
    Global Coastal Event likely in early to mid 2009 The Web Bot sees a permanent loss of low-lying territory globally and foresees that one continent in particular will get hit badly, but it does not say which one. Places to avoid: anything at sea level (Bangladesh/Florida/ etc).
  - Web Bot Predictions for 2009 - the year of shortages & no north pole ? - July 15, 2008
    According to their notes they summarize that 2009 will be the year of a Global Coastal Event:
    - The bigger things are in modelspace, the more lead time we get
    - Collapse of the dollar has been in modelspace for 2 ½ years or so. Even longer has been Global Coastal event.
    - Global Coast Event likely in early to mid 2009
    - Permanent loss of low lying territory globally but one continent in particular get hit badly. We don’t know which one, but we hope it’s like a Greenland or some not heavily populated area. (*working on this now, but it’s at the limit of our software)
    - Places to avoid: anything at sea level (Bangladesh/Florida/ etc).
    According to the web bot team 2009 can be summarised with a "word of the year" - specifically a word which will summarize how life will 'feel' in '09.
    The direction of this word points to famine, starvation and both food & resource shortages:
    Some key headlines discussed that hint to 2009 following this outlook : "Fuel Choices, Food Crises, and Finger-Pointing" "US shops ration food for first time"

    The planet’s magnetic poles are being displaced. Scientists say that mankind may eventually find itself defenseless against the cosmic radiation, and the Earth will turn into the giant Hiroshima.
    The chief scientist of the Central Military Institute for Ground Troops, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Yevgeni Shalamberidze, that that the geographic poles of the planet remain on their previous positions, whereas the magnetic poles have already drifted away 200 kilometers each. This phenomenon affects the processes of global scale.
  - Web Bot Project Predicting Huge Natural Disaster for December - December 7th, 2008
    The Web Bot is predicting major earthquakes for the window around December 10-12 for a first major earthquake and then a couple of days later, perhaps as late at the 15th for a second large quake.
    One other note from Cliff - he is beating himself up for getting the 'quakes' stuff wrong. It was a simple misread linking the terra entity isolation issues of the Pacific Northwest with the quakes which did the damage a week or so back in Indonesia & Chile. Not causative, just temporally coincident.
    - There will be a 2009 winter/spring natural disaster, which caused people to become angry about government response.
    - The Web Bot foresee that the winter in the Northeast will be very cold, causing some schools to close, and then later to reopen as shelters for people who can’t heat their homes.

    To the signs of this warning we must take heed as on 12 December, yet 4 days hence, comes the Long Night Moon (Full Moon) of ancient lore falling into the center of the Grand Cosmic Cross of the Mutable Signs of Virgo, Gemini, Pisces and Sagittarius and which has claimed its first soul of the ‘Three Great Leaders’ destined to fall under its Winter Reign, and as we can read:
    And of these present signs Prophetess Vanga had further warned that, “Be Warned! Be Warned! For after the City of Lights has descended below the waves before the moon falls prostrate upon the Cross the Great Prelate will die and be soon followed into death by the Great Pretender to the Throne and the Harlot believing their power greater than all others. But to the greatest sorrow will come the multitudes soon to die before the celebration of the Christ comes again.”
    To the accuracy of Prophetess Vanga’s visions of these times we do know that the City of Lights, Venice, Italy, has, indeed, succumbed to the seas.
