  Here at Sky & Telescope we get wind of all kinds of reports of meteorite falls. Few are legitimate. But on July 6th the sky really was falling over South America, when an incoming object broke apart in the lower atmosphere with a trio of ferocious explosions that shattered windows and shook the ground violently. Moments later, stones rained from the sky and pelted homes in the poor barrios surrounding the notorious city of Cali, Colombia.

• Snowman time in July! - 2:24pm Friday 13th July 2007
  The season took its strangest turn yet locally on Monday when residents looked out of their windows to see a hail storm - and the ground was coated in icy hailstones. Mrs Thornhill said: "The children had been playing in the back garden earlier in the day and it was nice and warm. "Then it was just unreal. The sky came over really black and the hailstones were so big and heavy. "We watched the storm from the house and it covered all of the cars and lawns. It was weird as it seemed like the middle of winter." However, Mrs Thornhill was not too happy about the sudden change in weather herself, as the icy hail killed her plants. "It was just unreal," she said. "It must have gone on for about 20 minutes and all of my flowerpots that are on the patio filled up with two or three inches of ice." This appears to have happened on 9 July, within the threat. Could this be Laura's cold rain?
• Falling Ice Chunks Hit Iowa Neighborhood - 07.27.07 -
  Large chunks of ice, one of them reportedly about 50 pounds, fell from the sky in this northeast Iowa city, smashing through a woman's roof and tearing through nearby trees.
  Authorities were unsure of the ice's origin but have theorized the chunks either fell from an airplane or naturally accumulated high in the atmosphere - both rare occurrences.
  He estimated the original chunk of ice was the size of a basketball. "It was pure white," he said. "The main parts I picked up were very smooth."
  The moisture involved in such a scenario could have come from the tops of strong thunderstorms. However, Dubuque had clear skies at the time the ice fell, said Andy Ervin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Davenport. "There was nothing unusual going on," he said.
• Chemists Study Mysterious Substance - Appeared 23 July 2007.
• Meteor Pao Pokraj Samobora? - 26.7.2007, 20:03
  Prema rijecima ocevidaca izgledalo je kao da nešto gori na nebu. Zatim snažna eksplozija, te podrhtavanje tla. Sve je trajalo nekih desetak sekundi.
  SUPER-BOLIDE: On Wednesday, July 25th at approximately 10:00 UT, "a major daylight fireball tore across the skies of Slovenia, Croatia and Italy," reports veteran meteor observer Jure Atanackov of Maribor, Slovenia. "It produced two bright flashes that reached an estimated magnitude of -20 and also loud sonic booms."
  Magnitude -20? In plain language, the meteor was 600 times brighter than a full Moon. Atanackov has gathered reports from hundreds of eyewitnesses. "Most described the fireball as very bright, its surface brightness almost as great as the Sun's. One person said it was 'too bright to look at for more than a few moments.'"
  The July 25th fireball falls into the category of superbolides--exploding meteors of magnitude -17 or brighter. They are, essentially, small asteroids measuring a few to 10 meters in diameter and massing a few hundred 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 Yukon fireball of 2000.
• Mag -9 meteor - Jul 31, 2007 11:15 pm
  It completely stunned me, totally different to any I've seen before (not that I've seen too many). It was brighter than a mag -8 iridium flare, so I'd say it was about mag -9. It flew almost directly overhead, from South to North - disappearing as it passed through Cepheus, and left an orangey trail which faded after a second or two.

  THE mystery of what caused a sonic boom-like noise over Co Down has deepened after the RAF denied reports a supersonic fighter jet was in Ulster skies at the time.
  Residents in north Down were alarmed when they heard what they thought was an earthquake on Tuesday afternoon.
  "It lasted for about three seconds and I felt it right through me," she said. "It shook the decking outside, reverberating right through it.
  I was on the phone to a friend a mile away and she heard it too. "At one point I thought it was a bomb, then maybe an earth tremor. "It was not like ordinary thunder, it was a palpable noise. It was an absolutely perfect blue sky and I could see nothing overhead."
  Maybe unrelated to a meteor.

• FIERY UFO BLOWS UP OFF N.J. - September 2, 2007
  Head for the hills! A mysterious giant "fireball" was spotted exploding over the ocean off the Jersey Shore last night, but officials had no idea last night what it was.
  The unidentified falling object was first seen at about 8:40 p.m. by people on Normandy Beach in Ocean County, and was also spotted as far away as Fire Island and South Carolina, officials said.
  "It was dispatched as a fireball, out over the ocean, going into the ocean," Deputy Chief Tim Cook of the Toms River, N.J., Fire Department told The Post.
  At least 15 witnesses on the beach all described the same thing, he said.
  "It was a large fireball that came down and sort of dropped down into the ocean."
  Some officials speculated that it may have been a
  comet or a meteor, but a spokeswoman with the New Jersey Astrological Association said, "It's news to us." They are asking astrologers???
  The rare Aurigid meteor shower - which produces blue and green lights - was expected to take place last night, and may have been to blame. Could be!
  Right place, but wrong time and size for Wormwood.

  Had been raining, lightly thundering but this wasn't thunder. A single loud explosion or blast (sounded like a gas stove explosion in a restaurant here few years back-that loud) that shook the windows, french doors. I was the only one awake although everyone else woke up after & thought maybe it was just thunder. I went outside to check but couldn't see anything.
  Have noticed very strong vibrations/shaking from the ground happening every few months in the middle of the night that last for up to a few minutes.
• Rare meteor shower to shed light on dangerous comets
  A rare meteor shower predicted to hit Earth on 1 September should give astronomers only their second chance to study an ancient comet's crust. It could also help them develop a warning system against an otherwise insidious threat ? a comet aimed at Earth from the dark fringes of the solar system.
  September's shower, called the alpha Aurigids, has only been seen three times before, in 1935, 1986 and 1994. The reason for this elusiveness is the shower's unusual origin.
  The Aurigids come from a comet that takes 2000 years to orbit the Sun. With such infrequent visits, Comet Kiess can't build up a broad dust band; it only generates a narrow trail of debris each time.
  The period of this comet is roughly 2000-years. It could be one of Vulcan's that was originally in a 3313-year period, but has been perturbed by interactions with the known planets such as Jupiter. The threatening comet fragment we are anticipating could be within this current threatening cluster that will impact Earth near 1 September, but an 8 September impact is considered more likely even thought it is further from our Impact Threat Level centroid time. Fragments from this comet have only been observed three times in the past and one wonders what special condition exists that they may be observed in 2007.
• THE 2007 AURIGIDS AT A GLANCE
  A 2-hour outburst of bright (-2 to +3 magnitude) meteors radiating from the constellation Auriga (Radiant at RA = 92, Decl. = +39, speed Vinf = 67 km/s).
  When: 2007 September 1, about 11:36 +/- 20 minutes UT (= 04:36 a.m. Pacific Daylight Savings Time).
  How long: Whole event will last about 2 hours, the time between the rate being half that of the peak equals about FWHM = 25 minutes.
  Where: Visible from California, Oregon, Hawaii, Eastern Pacific.

• The New Mexico Fireball - Sept 13 2007
  On Sept 13th at approximately 3 o'clock in the morning MDT, an extremely bright fireball streaked over New Mexico, "It was terrifying," says eyewitness Susan K. Burgess. "I was stargazing outside my house near Santa Fe when the landscape started becoming very bright, as if a brilliant full moon was quickly rising from the southwest. The fireball itself [slowly moved] over the house and disintegrated with a great deal of scatter in the northwest sky."[/q]

• Did I see a fireball? - 15/9/2007 22:30 BST
  I was out observing from my back garden on Saturday (15/9/2007) night, and saw something dramatic at around 22:30 BST. It was a fast-ish moving streak of what I can only describe as fire (ie it had width, not a bright satellite or ordinary meteor, and was noticeably yellow), that covered about 15 or 20 degrees of arc in a second or so, before ending in a small explosion. No sound was heard at any point, so it wasn't a firework or anything similar, but certainly had the brightness of one.
  From where I was (Worthing, UK, Lat: 50:49:09N Lon: 0:22:51W) it appeared to be moving diagonally downwards from right to left, roughly across the top of Serpens Cauda towards Scutum.
• ANOTHER FIREBALL - September 16, 2007
  "After seeing the September 13th New Mexico fireball on spaceweather.com, I was surprised to catch a very bright fireball here in Texas just two nights later," reports Tom King who operates an all-night, all-sky camera near Watauga, Texas, not far from Dallas/Fort Worth. "In the video, you can see where the meteor is bright enough to illuminate a power pole and trees!"
  UPDATE: In Arkansas, astrophographer Brian Emfinger reports: "I have had my camera shooting all night the last few nights and I have noticed quite a few meteors--including these two bright ones on Sept. 16th. The rate is definitely above normal." Tracing the meteors back to their point of origin reveals a possible radiant on the outskirts of the constellation Camelopardalis: diagram. Is a shower underway? Sky watchers, please be alert for more "Camelopardalids" in the nights ahead.
  Uh Oh! This is too much activity, and it is coming from the constellation Camelopardalis where debris from a dangerous comet is anticipated to cross Earth orbit on 5 October. See beginning of this summary section.
• Mysterious shaking along Central Coast - Sep 17, 2007 07:18 PM PDT

  One San Luis Obispo woman tells us she saw her windows shake three times about five minutes apart.
  The U.S. Geological Survey is not reporting any earthquakes in our area.
  Today's shaking is consistent with past sonic booms. Action News contacted several military bases across the region but none would confirm that that was the cause this morning.
• Blue - Green Fireball Spotted Over San Juan Capistrano, California. - September 23, 2007
  The fireball was solid at first like shooting star but then it broke up like a sparkler and color changes from blue to green. It traveled East to West and the brightness was compared to a Roman Candle "firework". Color change as it broke up blue to green and at the front a bright object kept going out of sight. This was the first time I saw one do a color change.
• UFO mystifies local officials - September 26, 2007
  Aircraft accounted for, no craters found during search
  The pre-dawn lightshow happened about 6:45 a.m. and could be seen from several places on Kodiak Island. Some witnesses described a light moving across the sky toward the Gulf of Alaska. Others saw an explosion and red tracers. The light was bright enough to be seen from Kodiak city and Chiniak, about 20 miles away across Chiniak Bay.
  Jenny Horning said, "I saw a ball of red with streamers of red flames behind it."
  It was so bright, Pennington said, she at first thought it might be a helicopter searchlight. Pennington didn't hear rotors though and believes she caught a glimpse of a very bright meteor.
  "It was traveling west to east and went behind a tree," Pennington said.
  It may be one of ours.
• 'Super-Meteor' Lights up Northern Sky - 29.09.2007
  Finland's biggest astronomical association, Ursa, says that a light phenomenon seen over much of northern and eastern Finland on Friday night was a meteor -- the brightest seen in the country in more than 30 years.
  The editor of the organization's journal, Marko Pekkola, says it was a superbolide, a fireball more than 100 times brighter than a full moon.
  The fireball was apparently caused by a space rock striking the atmosphere over Northern Ostrobothnia and then exploding over Finland. Ursa says the rock may have weighed some 200 kilogrammes.
• The Air Force has ordered a stand-down for all jet fighters and bombers for Sept. 14. - September 7, 2007
  The stand-down was ordered by Air Combat Command and includes all jet fighters and bombers in the Air Force. The command, headquartered at Langley, oversees all of the service's fighters and bombers.
  This stand-down may be a drill for one to be put in place during October 7, 2007 around noon EDT. Should there be even a possibility of a major meteorite impacting Earth around this time, it would be accompanied by fragments and debris that it picked up while out at Kuiper belt distances where it was once the 'biggest thing around'. It would be best not to have aircraft airborne during an impact event, and the fighters would best be served by being protected from the hail of stones in their revetments. Bombers may be deployed to safer areas.
  It may be one of ours.

• Peru : Meteorite, Or A Crashed US Spy Satellite?
  Reports from Peru now claim that more than 600 people have fallen ill after coming into contact with the "glowing rock" or having inhaled 'toxic gases' while visiting the massive 30 metre wide crater.
  According to Peru's La Republica newspaper, due to the high number of illnesses, district authorities are considering placing the town of Carancas, Puno, Peru in a state of emergency.
  According to the townspeople, the illnesses began after the meteorite crashed and they began to touch the glowing rock believing it had some type of monetary value.
  The government is putting the story out that the meteorite itself is not to blame for hundreds of people falling ill. But at the same time a declaration of an official state of emergency is being considered. While a health centre in the closest town to the Puno crash site has had to establish an auxiliary 'tent hospital' to cope with all the sick people flooding ill.
  One of the more intriguing theories gathering momentum on the net is that the 'meteorite' might actually be a crashed US spy satellite. The KH-13 'brand' of thermal imaging reconnaissance satellites, purportedly weighing some 20 tons, is being discussed on some satellite watcher chat boards as the most likely candidate.
  A crashed, ripped apart spy satellite powered by Pu238 (plutonium) fuel cells would also explain the bizarre accounts of Peruvians who visited the crater suffering from radiation sickness, reports that the 'meteorite' was seen glowing soon after it hit the ground, and the even stranger claims that boiling water was seen bubbling in the crater':
  A small heap of Pu238-O2 is warm to the touch and in more abundant quantities can boil water. In some configurations, the surface temperature of a Pu-238 fuel element can reach 1050 degrees C.
  The possibility that locals are being exposed to radiation from Pu238 fuel cells used in satellites would also explain the concern expressed by local doctors near the crash site that the dust thrown up by the impact might be making the crater visitors ill.
  Again, a crashed spy satellite is only a theory for now, and even if it's true, you're probably never going to hear a confirmation of it on the evening news.
• American Spy Satellite Downed In Peru As US Nuclear Attack On Iran Thwarted - September 20, 2007
  American spy satellite downed in Peru as US nuclear attack on Iran thwarted
  Russian Military Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that one of the United States most secretive spy satellites, the KH-13, targeting Iran was 'destroyed in its orbit' with its main power generator powered by the radioactive isotope Pu-238 surviving re-entry and crashing in a remote region of the South American Nation of Peru, and where hundreds are reported to be ill from radiation poisoning.
  The Peru impact does not appear to be from one of the meteor swarms that we are tracking. But the long period meteorites that we are anticipating acquire debris fields of small stones out at Kuiper belt ranges, and there turn into a hail of stones and ice as they near the inner solar system. Should one of these (from the Camelopardalis event on 16 September) have impacted the satellite, it could have modified the satellites orbit and caused it to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. If this happened, it would have been a very unlikely event, signifying other major issues concerning the impending catastrophe.

• Meteorite Crater Guarded by Peru's Police after U.S. Citizens Attempt to Traffic it - 3 October, 2007
  Peru's official government news agency reported yesterday that the crater where a meteorite fell in Puno, Peru was being guarded by 20 of Peru's National Police officers.
• Sparks Fly Over Meteorite - October 10, 2007
  It's a story worthy of an "Indiana Jones" sequel:
  Farmer, meanwhile, bemoans the lack of scientific access to the meteorite's motherlode. Even Peruvian scientists say they have been turned away by the police guarding the site. . . The more time the fragile rock spends buried in the mud, the less scientifically valuable it will become.
  "I told them, 'For the love of God, dig up the meteorite,'" Farmer said.
  He said the mass could be as much as 10 tons - which would be like a moving van falling from orbit.
  "This has turned out to be an incredible event," he told me. "I've been doing meteorites for 13 years, and nothing even close to this has ever happened."

• Mysterious Object Falls From Minnesota Sky - 06 Oct 2007
  Reports of metallic object and flaming ball falling from sky
  Residents from the Twin Cities to the southwestern corner of Minnesota and into Iowa reported seeing a flaming object shooting through the sky Wednesday (3 October), and experts said they may have been watching a meteor.
  Shortly after 2 p.m., people across the Twin Cities reported seeing a "metallic" object or "flaming ball" falling from the sky, according to broadcasters and emergency dispatchers who got hundreds of calls from people in Edina, Maple Grove and other suburbs. The callers said they saw the object traveling from the northeast to the southwest.
  Meanwhile, residents in Lyon County in far southwestern Minnesota reported hearing a loud boom Wednesday.
  "It sounded like a sonic boom from an F14 maybe 300 yards away. That's what it felt like. It shook the house and when I walked outside the ground was still shaking."
• Raleigh, North Carolina USA Skyquake - October 5, 2007 2:00 PM EST
  The explosions started off as a faint roaring sound, as if there was a chainsaw in the distance. Then each one would grow louder until it became a booming trumpet-like noise that echoed and rattled my apartment building. The closest example I can give of what it sounded like is the sound the tripods in War of the Worlds make. The event lasted for about 15 minutes, with the booms occurring generally once or twice per minute. Each boom seemed to be followed by a rushing windy sound.
  I live right beside a 24-hour news station, and even though people were outside looking and the phone lines to the police were busy, there was absolutely no coverage of anything dealing with explosions in the area.
• Orange Light With Cone Shaped Light Over Algonac State Park - October 6, 2007
  We (a camping group of about 15 of us along with other campers not of our group) saw an Orange ball of light that had coned shaped light shining upward from the ball. The Orange ball seem to rise from the south side of the campground over the river and rose above the trees then flew with speed to the northeast over Canada where we lost sight of it.
• Recent Fireball Sightings - 07/10/5-6
  A best-estimate for the October 5-6, ~18:22 UT fireball suggests it may have passed high over central and eastern England, possibly on a roughly NW to SE track. Sightings were reported from Cheshire, W Midlands, Essex, Somerset, Surrey and Kent. The event happened while the sky was still twilight, so the magnitude may be an under-estimate.
• Fireball Guffey, Colorado - October 6, 2007
  This fireball occurred at 5:54 AM MDT over central Colorado. I have received one possible witness report.
  The image at left is from the Cloudbait camera. From this location, the meteor brightness was about magnitude -10, or the same as a half Moon. This meteor radiant was at RA=133˘X dec -19, which is not associated with any known shower.
  Based on data from the cameras, the meteor appeared several kilometers north of Castle Rock, CO
• Mystery sound rattles windows, residents; baffles officials - Oct 09, 2007
  Around 12:20 p.m. Monday October 8, a series of loud booms was heard in many parts of Jefferson City and Cole County.
  Streaks were spotted in the sky by police officers not long after the booms were heard, making them believe it was an airplane breaking the sound barrier.
  Officers called the control tower at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport to see if they could find out from the FAA what had taken place. Although no definitive answer was found, all indications pointed to a sonic boom.
  Since Monday was a state and federal holiday, the Missouri National Guard was not flying their planes, according to spokesperson Capt. Tammy Spicer.

• US 'War Alert' Issued To Russia, Western Allies - October 5, 2007
  Russia's Strategic Rocket Forces (a separate branch of Russia's Armed Forces) are reporting to the Kremlin today that Commander Col.-General Nikolai Solovtsov has received an 'urgent' communication from his American counterparts (as per the provisions of the START 1 Strategic Nuclear Arms Control Agreement signed between Russia and the US in 1991) notifying Russian Military Authorities that the United States will, essentially, go to 'full war footing' this weekend.
  The reasons stated by the Americans for going on 'war footing', according to these reports, are twofold, with the first being their intention to begin transferring all of the their weapons grade plutonium to their Savannah River Site located in South Carolina, and, secondly, their intention to begin their largest 'terror exercise' in history by 'simulating' the explosion of nuclear armed 'dirty bombs' in American cities.
  These reports detail that Russian Military Leaders are 'shocked' that the Americans would begin the transferring of their nuclear weapons grade plutonium stocks while simultaneously holding a massive terror exercise, especially in light of the events of September 11, 2001, and which show the confusion military exercises can have on response times while also being attacked:

• DELAWARE: Aviation officials puzzled about so-called UFO that slammed vehicle - October 16, 2007 - [F - 16 October 2007]
  At about 4 p.m. Monday15 October, the brownish, hook-shaped piece of metal crashed through the roof of an unoccupied 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander parked at the Happy Harry's drugstore at 536 Main St. in Stanton. Its arrival came with a boom that one witness told Mill Creek Fire Company Chief James Howell sounded like an explosion.
  The SUV's owner, Susan Wilson, said she was inside the drugstore at the time. When she returned to her car, she found ash and debris on the driver's seat and gaping hole in the vehicle's roof. Nestled on the rear passenger side floor she found the hot object still smoldering from its descent.
  Once the mysterious object had cooled down, it was turned over to the FAA personnel from the Philadelphia office. The federal agency was doing some last procedural work on the object Tuesday, but FAA spokesman Jim Peters said he's confident it didn't come from any plane.
• Metal falls from sky, slices into SUV - October 16, 2007
  16-inch-long piece of twisted metal fell from the sky Monday, crashing into a parked sport utility vehicle in a drugstore parking lot near Stanton.
  Where the smoldering piece, shaped like a horseshoe, came from was not immediately clear,
  Maybe a piece of that 'meteorite' that crashed in Peru.

  Police confirmed to the ABC News that the Bureau of Meteorology said later that the Bureau of Meteorology confirmed the object seen on Monday night was a meteor.
• Loud Boom with White Flash / Yellow Lights - South Carolina - October 18, 2007
  Suddenly saw a boom of white light and heard a blast, but was hard to hear because of the ocean waves. It disappeared almost as quickly as it happened. Then about 10 seconds later, I saw 2 yellow lights glow then disappear. They looked like 2 planes maybe because they seemed to separate. Then they disappeared. After about 16 minutes, the same thing happened. My husband saw that blast of white light, but went inside before the 2 yellow lights appeared, then instantly disappeared. I chalk it up to night military maneuvers simply because I don't believe in UFO's

• Did anybody else see this in the sky? - November 7, 2007
  Around 30 minutes ago (6:30 pm) I was at the SE corner of 39th and Main gazing up towards the Northwest/ West sky while I was waiting for the light to change, when a very bright, unusually big space object came shooting down. It was bigger than any shooting star I've ever seen and it had to be close to our part of the planet.
  This thing I saw last night burned up after entering the atmosphere. It didn't break up into chunks or explode the way some of them do on the Internet videos. It just flamed for a brief time and went out. The reason I think it was a meteor was that it came in at a steep angle.
  I saw it, too. It was very big and bright, white with tints of red/orange to it. I looked online last night and today trying to find someone else who saw it, or some news report of it. I don't think I've ever seen something so big and bright before.
• Thursday night meteor - 10:30 PM Nov. 8, 2007

• Thursday night meteor - Nov. 8, 2007
  Okay. Now two people have told me they saw a particularly big and bright meteor flash across the sky over Baltimore Thursday evening. Here's how Joseph Lee described it: "Hi, Frank. Last night (Thursday, Nov. 8, 2007) I was traveling on the 35th Street east of Loch Raven Blvd, heading east. I saw a very low flying object bright blue i n color with a very white but short tail streaking very fast from north to south. It was much larger than the usual shooting stars we see at a high altitude. This was around 10:30 PM. I just wonder if anyone else had seen it and reported to you. -
  Joe DiCarlo, an editor at The Sun, told me late on Friday that he, too, had seen a big meteor Thursday night while walking near the Inner Harbor. His description was much like Joe Lee's, except that he said the meteor he saw was moving from west to east.
  There's a website:
  where you can read more about this subject, which is becoming more frequent ... and more scary.
• Satellite Collision In Earth Orbit
  Back in November, four pieces from the UARS were cataloged by the U.S. Air Force Space Command. What caused the litter from the spacecraft appears to be the result from a single event - perhaps a collision with another space object.
  The shuttle-deployed UARS has been circling Earth since 1991. The large spacecraft had served up important Earth climate data prior to its deactivation in late 2005.
  But on November 10, UARS experienced some kind of event that produced the debris. A second satellite hit? There was a lot of fireball activity on 8 November 2007.
• What caused Comet Holmes' mysterious explosion beyond Mars? - Date Posted: Wednesday 31-Oct-2007
  [Here is a fascinating story Adriana spotted. It is fascinating. It appears to me this comet might have struck something near Mars which nobody expected - well that's my guess. Jan]
  Astronomers worldwide are very excited about the astonishing explosion of comet P17/Holmes - discovered by UK astronomer Edwin Holmes in the late 19th century.This usually not very bright comet travels on a wide eclipsical track around the edge of our solar system.
  On October 24, when it was nearest Mars, astronomers suddenly saw it brighten to a huge yellow/green ball which expanded and became so bright that it is now visible to the naked eye.Astronomers have been taking stunning photographs of it even from well-lit cities all over the world - from China to the UK, from Russia to Mexico.
  In less than 24 hours, the 17th magnitude comet has brightened by a factor of nearly a million -- becoming a naked-eye object in the evening sky of the northern hemisphere.
  Look for a golden 2.5th magnitude fuzzball in the constellation Perseus after sunset. According to the chemical spectrometry readings, the explosion contained both oxygen and carbon-based gases.
  It's a total puzzle to astromers why the comet exploded. Two days later, it has started losing its wonderful yellow luminescent glow and is now reforming into the familiar comet-shape with a trailing tail -- but remains very bright.
  From Mother Shipton
  
  A fiery dragon will cross the sky
  six times before the earth shall die. Holmes has appeared 6 times before.
  Mankind will tremble and frightened be
  for the six heralds in this prophecy
  There is a lot of incoming debris accompaning the incoming Kuiper belt objects and they will tend to cluster around planets. Perhaps Holmes was struck by one of these debris objects.
• What happened to 17P/Holmes? - 27 October 2007
  Comet 17P/Holmes was discovered on 6 November 1892 in London by Edwin Holmes, benefitting (already!) from an important outburst of activity. Unpredictable outbursts are frequent in comets, but they are very rarely so large.
  It was hit by another small meteor. There was a lot of debris flying around in the August, September and October 2007 time frame.
• 'Dangerous Planetoid' Is Just Europe's Rosetta Probe - 11-20-7
  They believed that the bright dot represented a 'cosmic planetoid with a circumference of about 20 metres, hurling straight towards our planet.' They gave it the designation 2007-VN84 and estimated that it would just barely miss earth on 13 November.
• Humongous Meteor (?) at 12:15am 14th November 2007
  was just on my way to bed at about 11:30 when I thought I'd quickly set the scope up for a quick look at Comet Holmes when I invited a neighbour to come and look. Whilst he was at the scope, I was looking towards Mars and saw the biggest, longest, brightest meteor I've ever seen.
  It stretched from around Procyon in Canis Minor (a bit of a guess, but it is roughly right as I caught the start of it through the trees) and ended between and below Betelgeuse and Bellaxtrix. It passed underneath Mars and was almost parallel to the horizon. If you could hold a ruler up to the path of travel, it would have been at least 40-50cm long at arms length.
  It definitely wasn't a Taurid, as any shower meteor by definition must be heading away from the constellation its radiant is in, in this case Taurus at this time of year. It may have been a Leonid as Joe suggested, but that would need a more accurate meteor path to confirm. The short-lived persistent train you saw should probably have lasted longer than just a second or so from this bright an object had it been a Leonid for instance, but local conditions (such as haze or mist) do affect train visibilities. It is at least as likely that, as with most fireballs seen away from major shower maxima, it was a sporadic instead.
• Mystery surrounds great balls of fire - 15th November 2007
  On September 6, Khristian Rawlings was shocked to see two large balls of fire, the size and height of a large aeroplane, whizzing across the sky as he stood on the balcony of his home in Howard Drive.
  A month later What happened to October?, on November 5, Lisa Talbot saw a brightly burning flying object, also travelling at the height of a plane, as she left a fireworks display at the town's Meadow Park.
  Comment from another.
  On Friday the 5th October at 7pm i had just put my car in the garage, as i came back across the road through my front gate in Alban Crescent, i turned to close the gate and up in the sky i saw what i thought was a shooting star. It took my breath away as it was so low in the sky. A fierce white light with to what looked like a circle of green with a white tale, it didn't go bang, and it wasn't a firework i then watched it melt away into the night sky, the whole thing took about 7 seconds and i watched it.
  These reports sound like they were associated with the 5 October Camelopardalids debris.
• Leonids 2007 - November 17 - 18, 2007 At 09:27 AM PST
  November 17, 2007 At 12:29 PM PST Early this morning (11/17/07) at 1:28 AM, while driving on I-80 between Grand Island and Lincoln, NE, I happened to be looking at the Sickle when I saw a bright flash out of the corner of my eye. I quickly looked and saw a bright triangular shaped streak about 10-12 degrees long passing through Canes Venaciti. It was easily brighter than -6 magnitude, and due to the size of the streak, it appeared much brighter. The flash was even brighter. The weird thing was that right in the middle of this triangular streak was a black line, a gap that seperated the streak in half. The front half, or the half after the dark gap, appeared to have a slightly more fringe-like edge to it. The whole thing last several seconds after the flash before disappearing. As best as I can tell, based on the flash, gap, and overall appearance, I think I might have seen a meteor explosion, or possibly one meteor hitting another. I traced the tail backwords towards a spot about halfway between the center and the top edge of the Sickle. The downside, only about five minutes before it happened I had pulled over on the side of an exit ramp alongside my friends vehicle (the driver of that vehicle noticed the flash too, but didn't look towards it). If only I had my camera out.....
  November 18, 2007 09:27 AM PST I saw a bright fireball that was around -5. I traced it to the Sickle of Leo. Just after I saw it, I heard a popping-whistling noise. I read that meteors can make noise if they are bright enough. Did that fireball make noise?
  November 18, 2007 10:30 PM PST I am from Kuching (Borneo) and at 2106hrs (+8 GMT) while driving in town (so a lot of streetlights), a bit cloudy sky, and the quarter moon was nearly overhead, we saw a nice fireball. My 15 yrs old daughter thought it was a firework and poor my 10 yrs old sitting in the back missing it all.

  when sort of streaking across the sky a bright pinkish meteor. Time 21:53 or 54 I say sort of streaking as I would say it was moving quite slowly, took about 2 seconds to move across my seeable sky. Approx due North to South, starting fairly high up in the North and it was very low in the South before it burnt out. Now I haven't seen that many meteors but this was the slowest pinkest ever.
• Hurricane Fears Cost Homeowners Coverage -
  In the last three years, more than three million homeowners have received letters like the Grays' as insurance companies, determined to avoid another $40 billion Katrina bill, have essentially begun to redraw the outline of the eastern United States somewhere west of the Appalachian Trail.
  Public officials in Southern states from Florida to Texas have been fighting insurance carriers for years over rising rates and withdrawal of services, but officials in the Northeast have only recently joined the fray.
  Companies including Allstate, State Farm and Liberty Mutual have "nonrenewed" policies not only in hurricane-battered places like Florida and Louisiana, but in New York and other Northern states that have not seen hurricanes in years. Since last year, those three companies and others have turned down all new homeowners' insurance business in New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts and the eight downstate counties of New York.
  In response to a growing torrent of complaints, state officials and lawmakers have lately begun to push back, if gingerly, against the industry, which they see as overreacting to the hurricane threat in the Northeast.
  Its not the hurricane threat that the insurance companies are reacting to, it is a possible tsunami induced by a major meteorite impact in the Atlantic Ocean that is causing them concern.

  The knowing of the power, and uses, of numbers by the dark overlords of humanity is evidenced by Madame Blavatsky by her personally created crest of arms [which contains the symbol of the Dark Sun, known to the World today as the swastika, but whose true power, meaning, and reverence, lie in the most ancient times of our human race.
  And, contained in these 55 'words of power' there appears to lie a prediction for these very days in that the 'sudden star' Madam Blavatsky writes about could very well mean the mysterious appearance of Comet Holmes, or The Star of Satan as known to us.
  Her reference to the 'fire' that will 'stain' the Northern skies could, likewise, be the sudden, and numerous reports of Fireballs currently being reported all around the World.

  Although the constellation Ophiuchus is not part of the zodiac the sun passes through Ophiuchus in December each year. It streches from DECL= +14 degrees to DECL=-30 degrees and roughly from RA=16h (140 degrees) to RA=18h 40m (280 degrees). Interestingly, Vulcan's ephemerious places it at 264.491467 degrees (17h 38m) RA, 23.837633 DECL during 2007. Valid parallels occur when the two "planets" involved (the Sun and Vulcan) are within 1.0 degrees, or at most 1.5 degrees, in the (absolute) numeric value of the declination (i. e. irrespective of the sign or "north" or "south"). When the declinations are of opposite signs (e. g. one north and the other south) it is a "contra parallel"" and the bodies are truly opposite. Vulcan observes a contra parallel to the Sun circa 16 December 2007 (plus or minus a few other years as well) if our estimates of its ephemeris are correct.

• Alarming Comet Swarm Warns Of Catastrophic Christmas Quake - November 29, 2007
  When Italian astronomer Andrea Boattini announced from Arizona's Mount Lemmon Observatory, this past week, of his discovery of a new comet (C/2007W-Boattini), expected to be observable from Earth in June, 2008, it brought the number of new comets discovered this year to 146, and which, according to Sergei Smirnov, of the Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg, constitutes 'an historically unprecedented comet swarm' never before seen entering into our Solar System.
  Of even greater importance, however, is the alignment of these three comets (Holmes-Tuttle-Boattini) between December 18-31, 2007, and which, according to the ancient calculations of the Persian Magi, presages violent Earth upheavals, of which the last such alignment occurred on December 26, 2004, during which the catastrophic Great Earthquake and Tsunami occurred costing the lives of over 250,000 human beings.
  Equally important of these new astrological warnings being given to us from these Comets is the warming, also, being given of a catastrophic upheaval of our Earth by the Brazilian Seer Jucelino Nobrega da Luz to the peoples of Indonesia, and as we can read as reported by the AFP News Service:
  Another Bengkulu official, Fauzan Rahim, told state-run Antara news agency that he had seen a copy of the letter from Jucelino Nobrega da Luz, which predicted an 8.5-magnitude quake on Sumatra, but did not give an exact location. Sumatra is home to nine other provinces. Antara said da Luz had sent a letter in 1998 predicting the tsunami that devastated Indonesia in 2004. He also issued a warning in 2006 forecasting September's 8.4-magnitude quake in Bengkulu, which left 23 people dead, it said."
  It goes without saying that to the Western peoples these warnings will go unheeded as they have so far separated themselves from true knowledge that their lives have become but simple shells of all they are capable of being. But, though we know our words will go unheeded they must still be spoken so that no man can ever make the accusation that they haven't been warned.
  Our favorite date in this 2006 ?early 2008 period is 30 December 2007, based on the Wormwood Star Vision. This is within da Luz's December 18-31, 2007 interval

  "It was quite low and slow in the sky between 15,000 and 20,000 feet, quicker than an aeroplane but slower than a shooting star and it traveled from east to west.
  "This was obviously a meteor of some sort burning up, but the fact that it was so low in the sky and a brilliant green colour made this so unusual.

• Bourges - Wiped off the Face of the Earth - 26.01.2008 - 11:59:46
  Visitors from space ? A plane on fire ?
  Just after 6pm Friday 25th January, residents inthe southern French city of Avignon rang the local police to report seeing 'strange blue and green lights in the sky.' Almost immediately Gendarmes and firefighters took to the roads to follow the lights, fearing that their source may be an aircraft on fire and about to crash. However it was quickly established that the blue and green trail of light was in fact coming from a meteorite.
  The celestial body in question eventually fell to earth just after 6.30pm, seven kilometres from Bourges in the centre of France. (Between Bourges and the village of Trouy). Gendarmes were quickly on the scene, when local residents reported hearing a loud explosion.
  Experts say, what fell to earth was only 'a small chunk of meteorite'. The small souvenir from space, landed in a field several hundred metres from the nearest house. No one was injured and there was no damage to buildings. The only trace that the chunk of meteorite ever came down was the small hole it left on impact.
  At the scene of the impact one local resident said that if the whole meteorite had hit Bourges, the town might have been wiped off the face of the Earth. Who said life in Bourges wasn't exciting! Impact K, Bourges, France

• US Spy Satellite 'Downed' By Israel, Say Russian Experts - January 30, 2008
  Russian Space Forces (VKS) experts are reporting in the Kremlin today that the sudden, and catastrophic, loss of one of the United States most sophisticated spy satellites was due to a newly (January 22nd) launched Israeli spy satellite that upon reaching the same polar orbit of its American counterpart 'ejected' thousands of ball bearings which 'shredded' the KH-13, believed to be the US military's most advanced reconnaissance satellite.
  Hard to believe that India or Israel would do this. But a swarm of small meteors, maybe, during this dangerous time.
