   • Meteor Fireball Over Central Spain On July 2nd - 03 Jul 2021
     On 2 July 2021, at about 23:49h local time, a slow-moving fireball was spotted over the center of Spain. This bolide was generated by a rock from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 72,000 km / h. The fireball overflew the province of Cuenca (region of Castilla-La Mancha).
     It began over that province at an altitude of about 91 km, and ended at a height of around 41 km. This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN), from the meteor-observing stations located at Sevilla, La Hita (Toledo), La Sagra (Granada), Calar Alto (Almería) ), Cerro Negro (Seville), Sierra Nevada (Granada), and Madrid (Jaime Izquierdo, Complutense University of Madrid).
   • Two Bright Meteor Fireballs Blaze Over Idaho Within Hours Of Each Other - 05 Jul 2021

   • METEOR FIREBALL EXPLODES OVER TAIWAN - 07 Jul 2021
     Dozens of spectacular videos surfaced on social media Wednesday (July 7) after a meteor blasted through the atmosphere over Taiwan.
     Shortly after 12:02 a.m. on Wednesday, the Lulin Observatory, located at the summit of Lulin Mountain in Nantou County's Xinyi Township, recorded a meteor erupting into a ball of fire as it burst through the atmosphere. Within a span of 50 seconds, the meteor could be seen streaking across the sky as it ignited into a series of explosions.
     It flashed four times during its descent, with each ignition causing the fireball to grow bigger and brighter. After the fourth explosion, the extraterrestrial orb went dark and disappeared below the horizon.
     Soon, residents of Taipei as well as Yilan, Hualien, and Taitung counties posted videos of the unusual atmospheric phenomenon. Some people reported hearing a sonic boom following each flash of light.

   • RARE METEOR CLUSTER EVENT CAPTURED BY SUBARU TELESCOPE IN HAWAII - 03 Aug 2021
     Screenshot: Video: The "meteor cluster event" captured by the "Subaru- Asahi Sky Camera" which occurred at 3:58 a.m. Hawai'i time on July 14 (1:58 p.m. UTC). In the foreground are the domes of other Maunakea Observatories.
     In the early morning hours of July 14, the camera captured an unusual phenomenon in which more than a dozen meteors streamed from the same direction in just 10 seconds.
     This is a rare meteor outburst event associated with a "meteoroid cluster." A meteoroid cluster is thought to be caused by meteoric material breaking up into smaller pieces for some reason a short time before it enters the Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon provides valuable information about the structure of meteor bodies. Meteoroid clusters are so rare that only a few cases have been reported so far since the phenomenon was first identified during the Leonid meteor shower in 1997 (Note 2).
   • Meteor fireball explodes in the sky over Brazil - 15 Jul 2021

   • LARGE METEOR FIREBALL VISIBLE FOR 27 SECONDS OVER PUERTO RICO - 17 Jul 2021
     A large meteor was visible at 4.55 local time this Friday from almost all of Puerto Rico as reported by the Caribbean Astronomy Society (SAC).
     "Although most meteors are only visible for a few seconds, this event was significant since images that we managed to capture show that it was visible for 27 seconds, that is almost half a minute," said Eddie Irizarry, vice president of the SAC.
     "It looked bigger and bigger, it didn't look like a common meteor," said Idaly Correa, who witnessed the spectacular sighting from the municipality of Guayanilla.
     The SAC director clarified that despite the long duration of the meteor, it was not space debris, but a natural meteor, that is, a space rock disintegrating through the atmosphere.
     He estimated that it was a rock between 2 and 5 meters in diameter whose trajectory shows that it began to disintegrate at a height of 70 miles (110 kilometers) over northwestern Puerto Rico, near Isabela and moved east in direction to the small island of Culebra.
     "Several cameras that we have in different parts of the island show that it began to be visible at 4.55 with 35 seconds, and culminating at 4.56 with 2 seconds. It practically crossed the sky almost from one end to the other", highlighted Juan González Alicea, president of the SAC.
     The scientific entity explained that the long duration of the meteor was due to a combination of being a larger rock than those that cause sightings of common meteors, since it penetrated the atmosphere at a not very inclined angle, that is, almost from the side, by what disintegration occurred across much of the sky.
     Alex Guadalupe, from the SAC, was able to observe it from the metropolitan area and was surprised not only by its apparent size and extensive tail, but also because it showed a turquoise green color, which according to the SAC suggests that the rock contained magnesium and copper.
   • 14 cameras record a meteor fireball over Brazil - 18 Jul 2021

   • Meteor Fireball Over The South Of Spain (July 24) - 24 Jul 2021
     On 24 July 2021, at about 0:00 h local time, a slow-moving fireball was spotted over Spain. This bolide was generated by a rock from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 75,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the provinces of Ciudad Real (region of Castilla-La Mancha) and Jaén (Andalusia). It began over the south of Ciudad Real at an altitude of about 85 km, and ended over the province of Jaén at a height of around 34 km.
   • Bright Meteor Fireball Lights Up Night Sky Over Norway - Sun, 25 Jul 2021

     It streaked from the southwest to the northeast and exploded, evidently over Northeast Texas. One resident in Bonham said it "shook his house."
   • Meteor Fireball Lights Up The Sky Over Pilbara, Western Australia - Sun, 26 Jul 2021
     Perth Observatory’s Matt Woods confirmed it was a meteor known as a bolide - French for missile. Appearing as a fireball in the sky, it was likely a space rock the size of a cricket ball or slightly larger plunging towards earth that burned up high in Earth’s atmosphere, before it could hit.
     Appearing as a fireball in the sky, it was likely a space rock the size of a cricket ball or slightly larger plunging towards earth that burned up high in Earth's atmosphere before it could hit.
     The Pilbara enjoyed a similar astronomical show in June last year when a green-hued meteor was caught on film in Karratha grazing the atmosphere before bouncing back into space.
     That meteor was estimated to be no bigger than a pebble and was probably travelling between 16-50km per second.
     "So that's like going from the Perth Hills to the CBD in a second," Mr Woods said at the time.
     Mr Woods said hundreds of tonnes of space rubble entered Earth's atmosphere every year but light pollution in the cities, and with water covering 70 per cent of the globe, meant it often went unseen.
     "You have to be in the right place, right time to see one," he said. "I feel for the police officer because ... Murphy's Law is that you're back will be turned when they (streak across the sky)."
     Mr Woods said now was a good time to be looking to the stars. On Thursday, amateur astronomers would be able to see Mars and the star Regulus with just a pair of binoculars or a small telescope from 6.30pm.
   • EXPLOSION IN SKY STARTLES EARLY RISERS IN MALAYSIA (July 23) - 23 Jul 2021
     Astronomy enthusiast Lim Choon Kiat, 49, was keeping watch at the time, taking pictures of the night sky, but missed the event by two minutes.
     "I was inside the house, observing through the equipment I had outside. I went out at 4.50am to do some calibrations, and went inside my home again at 4.57am. The flash of light from the sky happened at 4.59am before the loud boom came at 5.02am.
     "I missed it visually, but I was outside when the object from the sky exploded," the telescope and binoculars supplier told The Vibes.
     However, he said he was sure the explosion was from something falling from the sky, as it was a sonic boom directed from the sky down to earth, different from thunder and blasts on land.
     ...
     The loud bangs and bright flashes were heard and detected in Tg Bungah, Jelutong, and Sg Ara. A report from Kulim in Kedah also noted a sighting of the bright flashes of light.
     "We are still gathering information from people that could have seen or heard it. My house has three closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, and all three recorded a loud bang at 5.02am.
     "When an object comes into the earth's atmosphere at very high speed, it will burn and will not be able to sustain itself. Usually, it will explode and create a very loud bang.

   • METEOR FIREBALL LIGHTS UP SKY OVER IZMIR, TURKEY - 31 Jul 2021
     The sight of a meteor lighting up the sky is usually described with the word "mesmerizing" or "incredible". Yet, the celestial body that flew over the Turkish city of Izmir at around 2 a.m. local time did not evoke positive feelings. In fact, it prompted a doomsday scare among residents.
     People exhausted from wildfires, that continue unabated in Turkey, thought the meteor is a sign of the impending apocalypse.
     "Now a meteor fell on Izmir. I guess this is the end", wrote one user.
     Another netizen wrote: "WTF is happening to this country?! I wouldn't be surprised if a planet fell on my head".
     According to local media, the meteor did not cause any injuries or damage.

     • COMA SIGHTED ON MEGACOMET SITUATED BEYOND SATURN - 15 Jul 2021
       Comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein), as seen in a synthetic color composite image made with the Las Cumbres Observatory 1-meter telescope at Sutherland, South Africa, on 22 June 2021. The diffuse cloud is the comet's coma. Spotting the first signs of activity on a record-setting comet of gargantuan size came down to a time-zone advantage.
       Astronomers in New Zealand were the first to spot a coma, or zone of gas and dust, spreading around the megacomet C/2014 UN271, also known as Bernardinelli-Bernstein, which may be 1,000 times more massive than a typical comet. It could be the most massive comet ever found in all of recorded history.
       The team that monitors images captured by the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) is spread around the world, and images from one of LCO's 1-meter telescopes hosted at the South African Astronomical Observatory were available on June 23 at midnight EDT (0400 GMT). That happens to be afternoon in New Zealand.
       What caught Bannister's attention was a foamy coma emerging at an incredible distance from the sun. When the image was taken, Bernardinelli-Bernstein was about 19 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. (One AU is the average Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers). That's roughly double the orbital distance of Saturn from the sun. Solar energy at that juncture is a fraction of what we enjoy here on Earth.
       That said, the comet has a lot of mass available to heat up. Bernardinelli-Bernstein's huge core (or nucleus) is estimated to be more than 62 miles (100 km) in diameter, which is three times as large as the next-known largest comet nucleus — that of Comet Hale-Bopp, a famous naked-eye comet that passed by Earth in 1998. Unfortunately for eager astronomers, however, Bernardinelli-Bernstein won't get very close to our planet for observations.
     • Largest Comet Ever Discovered Aug 19, 2021
       A giant comet potentially larger than the island of Hawaii has been spotted by Penn astronomers. The Bernardinelli-Bernstein comet (C/2014 UN271) is named after its discoverers, Pedro Bernardinelli G’21 Gr’21 and Gary Bernstein, the Reese W. Flower Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics, who found it after sifting through archival images from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) this past June. The pair had identified more than 800 novel icy objects with orbits larger than Neptune’s; but one, designated C/2014 UN271 (in reference to the date the picture was taken, October 2014) was “by far the most interesting one we found,” Bernardinelli told the New York Times. At the time the image was captured, the object showed no features associated with comets, but its dimensions were notable.
       It was also discovered at a greater distance than any previous incoming comet. First seen by DES in 2014, it was 29 astronomical units (au) from the sun, and as of June 2021 it had moved closer to 20 au. It will reach its perihelion (nearest point to the sun) in 2031 at 11 au, when it grazes Saturn’s orbit.
       
       Despite the comet’s great size, it won’t get close enough to Earth to be visible to the naked eye. It’s also unlikely that any spacecraft will be able to get a closeup look, given its distance and the amount of fuel required for such a mission.

   • Meteor Fireball Over Spain On September 9 - 08 Sep 2021
     On 9 September 2021, at about 0:47h local time, a bright fireball was spotted over the center of Spain. This bolide was generated by a rock from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 72,000 km / h.
     The fireball overflew the province of Ciudad Real (region of Castilla-La Mancha).
     It began over that province at an altitude of about 98 km, and ended at a height of around 35 km.
   • Meteor Fireball Over Morocco (Sept. 11) - 11 Sep 2021
     This fireball was recorded from Spain on the night of 11 September 2021, at 5:25 local time ( 3:25UT).
     The bright meteor was produced by the entry in the atmosphere of a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet at about 245,000 km / h. The high temperature reached during the atmospheric entry gave rise to a fireball that began at a height of around 128 km over the region of La Oriental (northeast of Morocco).
     The fireball moved northwest and ended at a height of about 77 km above the same region.

   • VERY BRIGHT METEOR FIREBALL FALLS IN SPAIN (Sept. 15) - 15 Sep 2021
     On 15 September 2021, at 22:25 local time (equivalent to 20:25 universal time), a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid impacted the atmosphere at about 76,000 km / h over the south of Spain.
     The high temperature reached during its atmospheric entry gave rise to a fireball that began at a height of around 91 km over the province of Badajoz. The fireball moved northwest and ended at a height of about 22 km above the same province.
     The bolide was seen by a wide number of casual eyewitnesses along the country. The preliminary analysis of this event shows that the rock was not fully destroyed: a small part of the object could survive and reach the ground as a meteorite.
   • NASA Says 'Boom' And Shaking In Virginia Was A Fireball - 23 Sep 2021
     Numerous reports came in all across the Harrisonburg, Virginia, area Friday morning of a "boom" and ground shaking.
     NASA says this was a fireball exploding in the sky. Power outages were also reported in Hardy County.
     Initial reports came in as a possible explosion in Shenandoah County, but no explosion was found.
     Satellite data did pick up on lightning flashes over Hardy County around 10:30 a.m., but there were no storms in the area.
     This indicated something came from the sky, and that something was a very large meteor called a bolite.
     A pilot did report to the American Meteor Society that himself and the co-pilot witnessed the meteor at 36,000 feet.
     NASA is still investigating the event from September 17, according to their meteoroid Facebook page. They are looking for more reports and will continue to update.

   • Secondary Data
     • Impact Flash On Jupiter Captured On Video By Amateur Astronomers - - 14 Sep 2021
       The fireball was fixed in Jupiter's atmosphere. It first appeared at 22:39:27 UT on Sept. 13th and remained visible for a full two seconds. The most likely explanation is a small asteroid or comet striking the giant planet; an asteroid in the 100m size range would do the trick.

   • BRITISH COLUMBIA WOMAN AWAKES TO A HOLE IN HER ROOF AND A SPACE ROCK ON HER PILLOW - 04 Oct 2021 - Swarm B. Cla_i ?
     On Oct. 4, many were treated to the sight of a fireball lighting up the night sky, with images of a meteor sailing above Lake Louise striking awe.
     Longtime Golden resident Ruth Hamilton, however, was fast asleep.
     Or at least she was until she was roughly awoken by the sound of a crash through her ceiling and the sensation of debris on her face.
     "I just jumped up and turned on the light, I couldn't figure out what the heck had happened," said Hamilton.
     She said she took a look around to get her bearings, and spotting a rock sitting neatly on her pillow next to where her head usually lays.
     Hamilton called 911, unsure of what to make of the projectile. An police officer arrived on the scene, and after establishing that the rock was not there as a result of the ongoing construction in the Kicking Horse Canyon, they settled on the only other explanation - that a meteorite had come through her roof.
     "We called the Canyon project to see if they were doing any blasting and they weren't, but they did say they had seen a bright light in the sky that had exploded and caused some booms," said Hamilton.

     Golden resident concludes that a meteor spotted in the area that night just missed her head?
     On Oct. 4, many were treated to the sight of a fireball lighting up the night sky, with images of a meteor sailing above Lake Louise striking awe.
     Longtime Golden resident Ruth Hamilton, however, was fast asleep.
     Ruth Hamilton was sound asleep last week when she was awoken by her dog barking, the sound of a crash through her ceiling and the feeling of debris on her face, the resident of Golden, B.C., said Monday.
     She said she jumped out of bed and turned on the light to figure out what had happened, and discovered a hole in her ceiling.
     "I've never been so scared in my life," she said of the Oct. 3 incident. "I wasn't sure what to do so I called 911 and, when I was speaking with the operator, I flipped over my pillow and saw that a rock had slipped between two pillows."

   • SPECTACULAR METEOR FIREBALL OVER THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA (Dec 14) - 16 Dec 2021 - Swarm B. Cla_ii
     This stunning bolide was spotted over Spain on December 14, at 1:16 local time (equivalent to 0:16universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from asteroid Phaethon that hit the atmosphere at about 131,000 km / h. The fireball was a Geminid that overflew the Mediterranean Sea. It began at an altitude of about 109 km over the sea, over a point located at about 45 km west of the coast of Spain. From there it moved west, and ended at a height of around 35 km over on the Mediterranean.

     • * Massive asteroids will whiz past Earth in coming weeks, including 1 nearly size of Empire State Building - Oct 16, 2021
       NASA Has Tracked Over 27,000 Near-Earth Objects, Some Over 1 Kilometer In Size.
       Several massive asteroids are expected to whiz close to Earth in the coming weeks, including one nearly the size of the Empire State Building.
       Two are expected to soar near the planet on Saturday, followed by more in the coming days, according to data from NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.
     • An asteroid barely missed Earth last week, and no one knew it was coming - Nov 02, 2021
       An asteroid about the size of a refrigerator shot past Earth last week, and astronomers didn't know the object existed until hours after it was gone.
       It was a close call (from a cosmic perspective); the space rock's trajectory on Oct. 24 carried it over Antarctica within 1,800 miles (3,000 kilometers) of Earth - closer than some satellites — making it the third-closest asteroid to approach the planet without actually hitting it, CNET reported.
       Scientists were unaware of the object, dubbed Asteroid 2021 UA1, because it approached Earth's daytime side from the direction of the sun, so the comparatively dim and small visitor went undetected until about 4 hours after passing by at its closest point, according to CNET.
     • * Unexpected Andromedid meteor outburst, strongest ever detected by CMOR - 30 Nov 2021
       
       The shower's not over yet. "The current outburst is ongoing and it may be another few days or even a week before the activity ramps down," says Brown. "These meteors are too faint to see with the naked eye, but they are easy targets for our radar."
       Andromedids are debris from Biela's Comet, known to historians as "the comet that split in two." 3D/Biela started to fall apart not long after it was discovered in 1772. It was a double comet when it swung by Earth in 1852 and, after that, was never seen again. In 1872 and 1885, thousands of meteors shot out of the constellation Andromeda as Earth passed through Biela's remains. Chinese records described "stars that fell like rain."
       Then the Andromedids vanished, too. The shower has been weak or absent entirely since the late 19th century. Only a surprise outburst in 2011 signaled that Biela's debris might still be lurking nearby. This week's activity is even more promising.
       Comment: There appears to be a significant uptick of all kinds of Fire In The Sky activity

   • Meteor Fireball Over Brunei on December 16 - 18 Dec 2021
     Alhakim, 31, was on his way home from work when the cosmic beam flashed in front of his eyes while he was driving along Jalan Kebangsaan heading north towards Jalan Utama Mentiri highway at around 7.40pm.
     According to Alhakim, "On that evening, out of the blue I saw a flashing bright green light shooting down from the sky."
     His five-second dashcam footage revealed a meteor coming down from west to east and disintegrated in the air.
     "Few seconds later, the light just dispersed on its own. It was beautiful!" he said.
     The fireball dashing safely over Jame' 'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah was also captured by two home security cameras at a PABD member's residence in Kiarong.
     "It was moving approximately at bearing 040 deg (NE) to 080 deg (E) from Kiarong," Haji Azri said on his Instagram TV post.

   • GIANT METEOR FIREBALL CAUGHT ON RING CAMERA IN BILLINGS, MONTANA on December 21 - 29 Dec 2021
     Occurred on December 21, 2021 / Billings, Montana, USA
     Being an amateur astronomer who dabbles with astrophotography, I was thrilled to see my Ring camera overlooking my backyard had captured what appears to be a large fireball traveling through the skies. This event took place on December 21, 2021, at 3:30 am. Not sure if it was a large meteor or maybe a piece of space junk entering the atmosphere north of Billings, Montana. I am still researching to see if I can find out just what it was.
