- Giant Fireballs Strike Russia July 2012
- METEOR ACTIVITY INCREASES: - Jul. 28, 2012
  Last night, NASA's All Sky Fireball Net work detected 17 Venus-bright meteors. The orbits of the meteoroids, color-coded by velocity, are shown in the diagram below. Earth's location is marked by a red starburst:
  
  Figure 2. Fireball orbits
  Blue orbits correspond mainly to Perseids. The Perseid meteor shower doesn't peak until August 12-13, but Earth is already in the outskirts of the debris zone of the parent comet, 109P/Swift-Tuttle. By mid-August, rates could exceed 100 meteors per hour. The show, in other words, is just getting started.

    Q: (L) So, what you're saying is that your remarks at the beginning... {relate to what we have been discussing which is all the really weird stuff going on).[planchette zooms around on the board] Boy, you're full of energy! I want to know if this fire in Colorado was caused by fireballs?
    A: Indeed and did you notice that feeble cover-up? They are getting desperate.
    Q: (L) Yes, we noticed that feeble cover-up. Speaking of fireballs, there was an article that Kniall put together about this supposed comet/missile launch. We're just kind of a little bit curious about that because there was a lot of weird stuff going on around that.
    A: You should remember what we told you years ago about "chemtrails" in relation to MIC activity, that it was fully known that the real enemy was "out there" not "over there." Don't discard what Clube said about this matter so easily. You should be aware that there are swarms of missiles ready and waiting to be launched at the order of the military sky watchers so as to mask what is going on. In this case and even others there was both: A comet explosion followed by a missile launch to keep the masses calm. Can't have the PTB looking like they are angering "the gods", ya know!!!
    Q: (Perceval) So basically what we were thinking. (L) So in other words what you're suggesting is that there is a network of missiles around the planet belonging to various different countries. At any given time, somebody can give the order for somebody in the right place to launch a missile to cover up the fact that there are comets. Is that it?
    A: Yes precisely. You need military activity to mask celestial events. And so it has always been.

- Fireball ignites wild theories
  Here’s the one thing known for sure about the huge fireball that on Aug. 7 zoomed across North Central Washington’s night sky: a lot of people saw it. “You can bet thousands of folks witnessed the event,” said lifelong sky watcher Tom Forker, who saw the blazing ball from his home in Winthrop. “I’ve seen reports on it from around the Northwest.”
  Following a Wenatchee World story last weekend, dozens of local observers posted online their gee-whiz accounts of the bright, fiery object. Most reported it whooshed west to east around 10 p.m., with many describing flames, sparks and a comet-like tail flashing a kaleidescope of colors.
  Many observers, in locations stretching from the Cascade crest east to Libby, Mont., also noted on sky-watch websites that the fireball was the largest night- sky object they’d ever seen.
  "A lot of people said they’d never experienced anything like it," said Forker, who wrote on the American Meteor Society’s website: "It’s the brightest fireball I have seen in many years."

  “The call came in around 10:15 p.m. that a big bright yellow ball of light — maybe an airplane, maybe a meteor or something — zoomed across the sky from Malaga over to a point off Batterman Road.” That road runs below the western slope of Badger Mountain.

On Sept. 10 Petrina Hodgins sent this in, "Just wanted to tell someone that yesterday afternoon, September 9, 2012, I was in our public pool in the complex on Lanfranco Road. I was in the pool between 1:30 and 3:45. About halfway during that time, I saw, up in the sky, (I was facing eastward) a meteor or something with fire on its tail. It looked to be coming almost straight down. This is making me wonder about the Falkland fire..., and perhaps another one went down near Peachland."
At 3:23 on Sept. 9, Martin Jankowiak emailed us this note, "Have you heard any other reports of a possible meteor sighting near the airport about 10 minutes ago? We just saw what looks like a meteor and possibly impacting the ground into a group of trees."

These fireballs are really become frequent... I just observed my first one at 8:48 pm Saturday evening, 9/15/12 in Washington state. I stepped onto my balcony in an eastern suburb of Seattle and was looking west toward Seattle when I saw it. It was orange with a long tail, falling at a steep angle, and lasted about 2 seconds. It seemed like if it were to land that it might end up on the Olympic Peninsula in the Nat'l forest. With all this talk about fires starting after sightings, you can bet that I'll be listening for news of any fires out that way.
Lots more comments follow.
SLOW MOVING ORANGE BALL DROPPING MOLTEN
At approximately 8:30 pm on September 10th, we and other vehicles were stopped on the side of the road near Hwy 12 and Hwy 44 in Beausejour, MB. There was an orange glowing ball travelling slow, but completely horizontal through the sky heading north towards Gull Lake, MB. Over the span of about 2 minutes, it dropped clumps of orange glowing molten substance. It did not appear to drop, but just eventually disappeared after 2 minutes of viewing. At least 3 other witnesses were stopped to observe the strange object.
Incoming! Meteor or Comet Fragment Explodes Above Southwestern US, Prompting US Army 'Missiles' Cover-up - 16 Sep 2012
On Thursday morning, 13th September 2012, early risers from all over the southwestern United States - California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico - were stunned by the appearance of a vivid luminescent trail high up in the atmosphere. Photos taken by residents reminded me of the glowing trail seen across the Caucasus on the 7th June 2012 (which I have written about here). My suspicion that we were looking at the arrival and overhead explosion of yet another meteor or cometary fragment (MoCF) solidified when I read some of the ridiculous claims of the US Army that they had test-fired a rocket/missile at 5.30am local time on the 13th of September.
Folks contacted law enforcement in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado to report "a crash". A sheriff's deputy in northern New Mexico said he witnessed "an explosion" and part of the object breaking apart from the main body. No one reported a trail moving from the ground upwards, just a very fast-moving dot in the sky that produced a very bright trail mid-atmosphere, indicating that nothing was launched from the ground.

Incoming! Meteor or Comet Fragment Explodes Above Southwestern US - September 19th, 2012 (from Veterans Today)
Prompting US Army 'Missiles' Cover-up
On Thursday morning, 13th September 2012, early risers from all over the southwestern United States – California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico – were stunned by the appearance of a vivid luminescent trail high up in the atmosphere. Photos taken by residents reminded me of the glowing trail seen across the Caucasus on the 7th June 2012. My suspicion that we were looking at the arrival and overhead explosion of yet another meteor or cometary fragment (MoCF) solidified when I read some of the ridiculous claims of the US Army that they had test-fired a rocket/missile at 5.30am local time on the 13th of September.
The Juno I is a large rocket booster used for satellite launches in the 1950s, while the Juno II was a US space launch vehicle used during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Recently a Juno rocket was used to launch Atlas V towards Jupiter in 2011. So the idea that the US Army launched one of these giants from Fort Wingate in New Mexico in order to "test" it – at the crack of dawn, no less, and over a densely populated area – is incredible, to say the least. Fort Wingate, incidentally, was shut down in 1993.
Whatever about Patriot interceptor missiles “killing incoming targets by direct strike and not exploding”, they are again stretching the bounds of credulity with this story about the US Army lobbing missiles at an expensive space rocket in order to blow it to smithereens over US territory. Watch and listen as the Army spokeswoman lies through her teeth about how this incident was "one of our very high-end, very intense things that we do out here… not one of our everyday things":

HUGE ASTEROID WILL HIT ANTARCTICA IN 2012 - September 8, 2010
University of British Columbia Professor published an on-line article that projected an 800m asteroid would hit Antarctica in the fall of 2012.
The article hypothesized a 94% probability that the asteroid would impact on the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf and cause 2/3 of ice on Antarctica to crumble into sea.
WATCHING THE CLOCK: WILL A TOTAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OCCUR IN SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER? - Jun 27 2012
Over the past 48 hours we’ve stumbled across three separate pieces of information, all predicting essentially the exact same thing regarding a fall 2012 economic collapse. Serendipity or coincidence, it’s information I want to pass on.
The first warning is from a St. Louis based police officer who called into the Alex Jones radio show on Sunday, June 24th. The second warning comes our way via the Silver Doctors. And the third came today from unflappable Director of UBS Floor Operations Art Cashin. All three warnings are presented here for your benefit and consideration:
- 1. A man identifying himself as a police officer named ‘Jim’ called in to report some startling information. "We have been told that in October we need to be prepared for an event that will require us to use air and ground support, in conjunction with the military here."
- 2. LEAP/2020 Issues Red Alert: System to Collapse in Sept/Oct - The seven blasts of the trumpets of Jericho marking the September October 2012 period will cause the “Dollar Wall’s” last sections and the walls which have protected the world as we know it since 1945 to collapse. The shock of the autumn 2008 will seem like a small summer storm compared to what will affect planet in several months.

  ?Q: (Perceval) It shouts very loudly at you! (Kniall) On September 13 (2012), something was seen above mainly Arizona and New Mexico. It was claimed it was the US Army test firing rockets, some kind of rocket booster, and then they fired two patriot missiles at it to shoot it down. I wrote an article about it suggesting that it was the cover-up of a celestial event? (Perceval) Was that a fireball?
  A: Yes.
  Q: (Andromeda) What about the gas leak explosion in Indiana? (L) Oh, yeah! (Perceval) What caused that? That's the question. It's as short as I can make it. [laughter]
  A: It wasn't a gas leak!
  Q: (Perceval) So, was it for example, caused by a fireball? A space rock?
  A: Close.
  Q: (Perceval) A micro fireball? (L) Well, I don't think that's it. I think probably it's more like a comet fragment? (Perceval) Was it a discharge from a comet fragment?
  A: Air burst, but very low and highly charged.
  Q: (Perceval) Something in the universe didn't like those two houses.
  A: It wasn't the houses, it was the location.
  Q: (Perceval) Something underground that attracted it?
  A: Yes.
  Q: (Belibaste) What was it?
  A: Charge.
  Q: (Belibaste) Electric charge.
  A: Yes.
  Q: (Belibaste) But coming from an underground...

- MBIQ Detects MA NJ NH MD DC RI Fireball Meteor 20SEP2012
  My wife and daughter just got home. About 15 minutes ago, around 0230 UTC, while driving to the north on a road aligned north/south, they saw an extremely bright fireball pass overhead from south to north, disappearing below the northern horizon in front of them. They described is as bright white, brighter than a full moon, large in appearance, leaving what appeared to be a smoke trail. The observation was made at approximately 71 deg 10.5 min W 42 deg 6 min N. They perceived the light from behind them before sighting the meteor as it passed overhead. It was moving somewhat slowly. Duration of the passage was approximately 15 seconds. It would likely have also been visible in New Hampshire.

Direction the fireball or meteor was travellingh was probably northwest. Bright white with a bit of other color. No sound heard but we experienced a brief power outage about 30 seconds after I saw it. 8 times Venus brightness. Yes. I think it was heading away towards the northwest but falling rapidlly till below the horizon.

  We had here in Finland a very bright bolide in the Sept. night 20/21 at 00:34:41 UT ( at the side of the day 21.
  This was not a meteorite dropper, but had the entry velocity of as big as about 66 kilometers and exploded at the height of about 80 km. I have been very busy with this the whole day of yesterday. I got mixed in the count of, into how may cameras this was captured, but it is about 15 . I may later check this count. In any case this is our new record in this. In addition to this, a good number of visual sightings was received, even tough at an unfavorable time of night. Also this fireball was probably the brightest that we have ever captured in our cameras directly visible.
- Breaking News - UK Earth-hugging Asteroid Circled the Earth and Hit Again - 28 September 2012
  According to the modeling done by Finnish mathematician Esko Lyytinen, the big UK fireball of the 21st of September was captured by Earth`s gravity.
  After one circle around the Earth one of the remnants seems to have re-entered the skies over North America.
  "It looks now that the fireball witnessed 155 minutes later in US and Canada, may have been one fragment of the British fireball, most probably the biggest one. This was its second entry into the Earth`s atmosphere", Lyytinen says. "If so, this is historical scientific observation, but it needs to be confirmed."
  The entry mass of the asteroid has been estimated to be in the range of tons of kg or tens of tons. Probably a significant portion of the mass was lost during the luminous-flight fireball phase. Videos taken of the UK event show that the fireball fragmented into multiple pieces.
  According to Lyytinen, the deceleration during the fireball phase left the meteoroid at the speed of only 9.2 km/sec as it was leaving the atmosphere. Hence it remained travelling around the Earth until it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
  "After leaving the atmosphere it probably made about a full revolution around the Earth before re-entering", Lyytinen says.
- Amazing Meteor Boomerangs Around Earth
  For the first time ever, a meteor has grazed in and out of Earth's atmosphere, slowing enough to become a temporary satellite that lasted a full orbit.
  By evening on September 21st, an earlier storm had moved eastward and left skies over the British Isles beautifully clear.
  Martin Goff, an officer with the Greater Manchester [England] Police, was making his rounds when he spotted a dazzling meteor at 22:55 p.m. (21:55 Universal Time). "I immediately pulled the van over to better see the fireball," he recounts. "Although not an experienced astronomical observer I was able to log relevant information such as altitude and azimuth relative to the straight road I was on and to trees and streetlights nearby." He estimates it was about as bright as a full moon and remained visible for 35 to 40 seconds, fragmenting for at least the last half of that.
  A few hours later, Ross received another burst of 126 sightings. But these weren't from Europe — instead, a fireball had appeared over southeastern Canada and the U.S. Northeast. What at first seemed the unlikely arrival of two dramatic bolides in a single night is now known to be something much more historic and scientifically profound.
- Recent UK fireball could not have 'skipped' around the world, new analysis says (Update) - October 9, 2012
  The meteoroid seen over the UK on September 21, 2012 has created quite a sensation – make that a several sensations. First, the bright object(s) in the night sky were seen across a wide area by many people, and the brightness and duration – 40 to 60 seconds reported and videoed by some observers – had some experts wondering if the slow moving light-show might have been caused by space junk. But analysis by satellite tracker Marco Langbroek revealed this was likely an Aten asteroid, asteroid which have orbits that often cross the Earth's orbit, but their average distance from the Sun is less than 1 AU, the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
- Chunk Of Ice Fell From The Sky And Shocked Local Residents - 23 Sep 2012
  The chunk of ice that fell from the sky in Croatia An unusual event happened in Saturday in sunny Istria. Out of the blue at 6.20 PM a large chunk of ice fell and scattered on the meadow. Witnesses said the ice was about half a meter in height, long and wide about a meter and 300 – 500 kg heavy. It fell about 10 meters from the nearest house and a couple of meters from the main road.
  Witnesses heard a noise they described as a flock of birds flying, baloon filled with hellium, or a missile crashing, and when the ice slammed the ground, crowd of local residents saw parts of the ice on the lawn.
  In Pula airport said that a couple of airplanes landed at that particular time, but according to unofficial information none of the captains reported a failure. But if the size of this ice chunk fell from the airplane, the airplane itself would fell.

  Mr Brown said it was heading towards the direction of the 700-year-old Stump church – and moving so fast it almost looked like a fireball.
  He said: “It looked like there were two train carriages attached, with one pulling the other in a slightly upwards trajectory.
  “Behind the second carriage was what looked like a flaming kite tail with sparks coming off it, and I could see these falling to the ground and then going out. It looked like there was smoke with the trail too.

- Amateur stargazer spots 'meteor' burning up over Grantham - October 13, 2012
  Amateur stargazer Nigel Booth spotted what he believes was a meteor burning up over Grantham last night.
  Nigel and his wife Debbie, of East Street, saw the round orange and blue light moving across the sky for almost three minutes - before it disappeared.
  Nigel told granthampeople: "The sky was really clear so we went for a walk along our street, which doesn't have lights, shortly after 9.30pm.

  - Loud explosion in Louisiana sky - October 16, 2012
    The US government isn't alone however. Just last week a massive explosion caused a mushroom cloud in southern Russia. It was blamed on an accident, "probably caused by a lit cigarette" (yeah right!), as some 4,000 tonnes of soon-to-be decommissioned munitions were supposedly being unloaded from a train at a remote military base. Injuries were initially reported but then this was retracted, leaving no on-site injuries where surely there should have been at least a few, especially given that windows were shattered on buildings in towns located up to 40 km away.
    We had been wondering whether or not this Russian "munitions accident" was covering up for an overhead airburst caused by an incoming meteor or cometary fragment... and now something rather similar has happened in southern US one week later!
    The Russian explosion occurred one day away from the threat peak and on almost the same place in the Earth's orbit about the Sun where an atomic bomb sized blast by and exploding meteor recently occurred (08 Oct. 2009 - 10 Meter Asteroid 50 kton Explosion Over Indonesia).

- Possible Meteor Explosion Rattles Northwest Louisiana - Oct 16, 2012
- Update! Meteor impacts Louisiana, explosion causes damage to nearby buildings, Cover-up swings into operation - 16 Oct 2012
  Northwest Louisiana authorities are investigating the source of whatever shook people's residences and businesses about 11:40 p.m. Monday. The Webster sheriff's office now is entertaining the possibility that it may have been a meteorite, possibly in the Dixie Inn area. There have been a large number of reports stating that they saw something come down instead of something blow up, a spokesman said.
  Well now, this is interesting. Initially reported as being a possible meteor strike, we're now hearing that this explosion in Louisiana was the result of a planned explosion at an old underground bunker at 11.30pm on a Monday night. If that was really so, why did buildings in nearby downtown Minden sustain blast damage? Once again, U.S. authorities are spinning as fast as they can to cover up for the cosmic threat.
- Loud explosion in Louisiana sky - October 16, 2012
  Monday night at around 11:26 pm, a large explosion occurred to the southwest of Dixie Inn, in Webster Parish, approximately (sic) 4 miles southwest of Minden, or 28 miles east of Shreveport. The initial event occurred at Latitude/Longitude 35.578 N, -93.351 W which is in the borders of the Camp Minden Army ammunition plant. A large flash was observed, citizens were shaken out of bed and windows were shattered during the late night hours October 15th.
  "There have been a large number of reports stating that they saw something come down instead of something blow up," a spokesman said. "I was out with my little dog last night and I saw a huge ball of fire fall to the earth from the sky east/southeast of my home," reported Karen Rust. "I was very big and very bright. It had a tail on it so I assumed it was a meteror.I went in and posted it on Facebook so when i told someone about it they wouldn't think I was crazy."
  "So what about the boom that happened around 7:30 last night? Everyone in stonewall heard it," reported Alan Leach on Facebook.
  A meteorite incident investigation would fall to NASA and the Air Force.
  A spokeswoman for Barksdale Air Force Base public affairs said that the base is investigating and that whatever the source, it didn't originate at the base.
  "I live in Stonewall also, and I didn't hear it. But those of us in Stonewall that heard and were shook by a large explosion a few months ago still want to know what caused it," commented Jene Jefferson on KTBS' Facebook page. "A whole lot of fishy something's going on. So do we have some contained bunkers in Stonewall exploding?"
  "Now they are saying it was an explosion in minden.... why would it move on radar if it was an explosion?" asks Edie Turner.
  Karen Rust reported on Facebook, "I saw a meteror at about 11:pm last night.from my front yard in Avery Tx. It was big and had a tail behind it. I posted it on facebook at that time so people would believe me when I said I saw it. It was in the eastern sky."
  Update 2:
  Local news station is now reporting that a debris cloud was picked up on radar images. One eyewitness also reported 'meteor ash' falling to the ground...
- What just happened in northwest Louisiana? Unexplained Explosion , page 13
  
  Figure 6. 3-D Radar of Mystery Object That Hit Louisiana
  Some discrepancies.
  If one overlays the radar image with the google satellite image of the same location and take into account wind direction/speed at the current time, it is possible to "pinpoint" the explosion location.
  There are no bunkers next to train lines at that location, no train lines what so ever. So where is that aerial footage on the news being taken?
  Also, on the aerial footage, what's all that "tin foil" look alike scattered about? what's it doing there? how did it survive the alleged "bunker explosion"?
- Meteorite Impacts Earth in Minden, Louisiana - Media and Government Cover It Up - 17 Oct 2012
  The first problem with the "munition dump explosion" answer is a problem of coincidence.
  What are the odds that, at around the same time as people across three states (Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, and hundreds of miles apart) were seeing what was clearly a meteorite/comet fragment burning up in the lower earth atmosphere, a munitions dump would explode? More to the point, if a munitions dump did explode, what are the odds that a meteorite/comet fragment, which many eyewitnesses believe hit the ground in the area, would be in no way connected to the explosion?
  The second problem is one of evidence. At first light on Tuesday morning, the good people at KSLA news boarded their chopper and flew over the Louisiana army ammunition plant. Here is what they filmed:
  Meteorite hits Louisiana army ammunition plant - Oct 15th 2012
  Given the available evidence, my theory at the moment is this:
  The events of Monday evening that were reported in the NW Louisiana area, and specifically near the Camp Minden base, were the result of a meteorite/comet fragment entering the earth's atmosphere and following a SE to NW trajectory, roughly over mid-Florida, proceeding over the Gulf of Mexico and then over the states of Mississippi and Louisiana. The object then exploded over the NW Louisiana area, causing a loud boom. A fragment continued on and hit the ground in the Camp Minden area. The ash that is reported to have fallen came from the initial overhead explosion.

  Some sort of an explosion or something sent a plume of smoke 7000 feet into the air. This happened in Louisiana near Camp Minden on Monday night around 11:30pm. Multiple witnesses apparently reported that they saw something falling down from the sky towards the earth before the mushroom cloud was created.

  California Fireball Meteor +19'45 PDT 17OCT2012
  MBIQ indicates that a meteor was seen minutes ago over California on 17OCT2012.
  Fireball started out yellow, then flashed to a brilliant white before breaking into numerous smaller parts, each with their own yellowish fireball and trail. The main trail was greenish in color and extended behind the head for about 1/4 of the sky. I did not hear anything. Brighter than Venus, but not as bright as the sun. Yes. As the object traveled north, it broke into multiple smaller fragments. This was the biggest meteor I have ever seen, and I'm 63 years old.

- Fireball spotted in Bay Area skies from meteor shower - Oct. 17, 2012
  OAKLAND, Calif. — A large meteor streaked across the night sky Wednesday night and was seen and heard throughout the Bay Area.
  Sky observers took to social media to report that they had seen a bright fireball with hues of red and orange break up overhead shortly after 7:30 p.m., accompanied by a loud boom.
  The sound was so loud, some residents reported it shook their homes, making them think it may be an earthquake.
  Jonathan Braidman, astronomy instructor at Oakland's Chabot Space and Science Center, said the meteor likely hit the Earth around the Martinez Hills and was roughly the size of a car when it broke up over the Bay Area.

  The latest find - reported on Thursday - was also in the San Francisco Bay area city of Novato and brings the total number of chunks of rock that fell from the Oct. 17 meteor explosion to four. The meteorites are known as metal chondrites because they contain microscopic metal particles called chondrules.

- The sky is falling: Planet X flings flaming fireballs at Earth - OCTOBER 19, 2012
  Without a doubt, Planet X is bombarding Earth with flaming fireballs from its debris tail, which, blown by the solar wind, billows directly toward Earth. Blazing hunks of junk from this tail are hurled at us with increasing regularity.
  Let’s take a look at flaming fireballs this week alone. On Tuesday, Oct. 16 around 7 p.m., several witnesses reported seeing a fireball streak across the sky in the Washington, D.C. area. It was red orange in color with a yellow- orange tail, and it lasted a bit longer than a shooting star.

  Two meteorites, that is, because the "rock" that fell on Lisa Webber's roof in Novato from last week's explosive fireball in the sky turns out to be a true meteorite after all.
  Peter Jenniskens, the meteor scientist at the Seti Institute in Mountain View, said he first dismissed the one that hit Webber's house because its surface looked merely like a weathered chunk of granite and its outside wasn't black like most meteorites.

- Multiple meteor sightings provide October surprise - Oct 30, 2012
  A fireball was spotted across the sky in Jackson, Tennessee, Tuesday morning; it could be seen from Kentucky, Alabama and even Louisiana, according to Bill Cooke with NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office.
  A fireball, also a meteor, is given a separate name because of its brightness. In order to be classified as a fireball, the meteor must be brighter than the planet Venus. Cooke said this fireball was brighter than the moon.
  The fireball was officially clocked at 6:11 a.m. local time, with over 60 eyewitness accounts of the sighting across the South. That wasn't the only report of a meteor in the sky on Tuesday. Cooke confirmed Tuesday night that another meteor was spotted over several counties in North Alabama.
- Meteor explodes above Alabama, 30 October 2012, NOT a Taurid or so-called 'Hallowe'en Fireball' - October 30, 2012
  Alabama residents across the state have reported the sight of a meteor or fire ball at about 5:40 this evening. Holly Britton, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Birmingham, confirmed that several people have called the station to report similar sightings. Britton said she has received calls from as far north as Winston, Ala. and as far south as Clanton. The local radar, however, did not pick up anything significant, she said. Update on reports of fireball earlier in the sky from Dr. Bill Cooke of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center: "This was NOT a Taurid meteor; probably a random interloper from the asteroid belt. Doppler weather radar shows a meteoritic "rain", indicating that there are meteorites on the ground in Alabama. The radar signature is stronger than the recent California fireball, which produced meteorites in the San Francisco area. We are still working out a precise location for the meteor impact."

- Major fireball over far west Texas 12NOV2012
  Just for a heads up there was a major fireball over far west Texas this event at 6:35pm MST seen for 4-5 seconds. This fireball was moving west to east covered at least 50 degrees.We have high clouds right now and it could been seen easily through the over cast.Green in color no acoustic events.The entry look very shallow to me no more than 25 to 30 degrees.My wife was driving home at the time and it lit up her windshield and she look up and saw it. The all sky camera at the El Paso airport did not record the event being it was no more than 12 to to 14 degrees above my south-south eastern horizon and I am about 15 mile south east of the tower.
  Mr. Dorman is a seasoned astronomer and has ruled this event as unrelated to any ongoing meteor showers.

  - "Heavy Wet Snow" Is Now Often The Norm - November 7th, 2012.
    Radar images of migrating rain cells that suddenly “flash out” to snow for no apparent reason are now commonly seen on various weather station radar images. This is occurring without the presence of mountains, colliding cold fronts, or freezing temperatures period. This can only be the result of aircraft dispersed chemicals above the clouds. Though temperatures do often drop precipitously as the ice nucleation process unfolds and the chemical process begins to cool the surrounding air, “heavy wet snow” can begin to fall at temps up to 50 degrees
    If there is another plausible explanation for the now all to common above freezing temperature snow storms happening across the US and other regions around the globe, I have yet to see it.

    Severe weather cripples the Northeastern US in what some say was a geoengineered super storm
    NBC reported record snowfall totals that were recorded across the area:
    - New York’s Central Park received 4.4 inches of snow on Wednesday — a record for a Nov. 7 and the earliest 4-inch total in the park’s history, NBCNewYork.com reported. By Thursday morning the total had reached 4.7 inches.
    - A record snowfall of 2 inches was set at Newark, N.J., breaking the old record of a trace amount set in 1981.
    - Bridgeport, Conn., received 3.5 inches of snow, beating the Nov. 7 record of 2 inches set in 1953.
    Some areas inland got 12 to 13 inches of snow. In New York, the situation remains tense, with FEMA Centers actually closed due to the bad weather.

  - Asteroid 'Nibiru' On Collision Course With Earth, According To NASA Whistleblowers - November 5, 2012
    According to leaks by unnamed NASA employees and scientists, an asteroid dubbed 'Nibiru' is heading in a direct path towards earth, with up to 30% chance of collision.
    Understandably NASA is keeping quiet for the moment as to not incite panic, and to get all the facts before making an official press release. Though some unconfirmed rumors include the asteroid being the size of Texas, and the estimated date of collision being some time during November-December 2012. NASA has neither confirmed or denied any of these claims.
    Doubtful.

  Markatia Bugeja reported that she had just seen "the most wonderful asteroid passing over Malta at enormous speed."
  "I think it fell into the sea. It was a huge ball of fire with a long tail, it was amazing," she said, hoping that somebody had grabbed a picture.

  The American Meteor Society has received over 100 reports of a bright meteor that occurred near 06:45 CST on Friday December 7, 2012. Brightness estimates of this fireball vary considerably, but the average lies near magnitude -20, which lies between the full moon and the sun. Needless to say, it was very bright! Every color of the rainbow has been reported with green being most mentioned.

- Mysterious bright flash in sky reported across Texas - December 7, 2012
  While early reports indicated it was likely a meteor, the National Weather Service in Houston reported Friday afternoon that it may have been debris from the Russian Satellite Cosmos 2251 as it reentered the atmosphere.
  In 2009, the Cosmos 2251 satellite, which was not in working condition at the time, collided with Iridium 33, a United States communication satellite, in 2009 as they orbited Earth over Siberia.
  According to Dr. James Roberts, a University of North Texas astronomer who talked to WBAP early Friday morning, the mysterious object in the sky was likely a burned up meteor. A KHOU meteorologist in Houston said it may have been part of the Geminids meteor shower, which takes place in December. The meteorites often appear to be slow moving and are usually best seen at its peak on December 13 and 14.
  However, Mike Hankey, the operations manager with the American Meteor Society, said later in the morning he believed the meteor was likely a fireball, a meteor brighter than Venus, and not a part of the Geminid shower.

- Friday Morning Meteor May Have Been Satellite - December 7, 2012 Did you see it? Just before 7 o’clock this morning, there was a bright flash in the sky. North Texas callers to the KRLD Listener Line described it as a “fire ball” with a long greenish-blue tail.
  Bill Cook, the lead for NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, says that their cameras in New Mexico picked up the flash of light at 6:43 a.m.
  “That’s several hundred kilometers away,” says Cook. ” You normally don’t see a meteor that far away.” He does believe that it was a meteor. “It looks like what you saw was a bright meteor, also called a fire ball.” Cook says that it appears that the meteor entered the earth’s atmosphere somewhere between Dallas and Houston. He says they have used radar to track fragments that fell to the earth north of Houston.

- MBIQ Detects Sweden Major Bolide Event 11/12DEC2012
  Bolide Confirmation from Sweden!
  The reason of the sudden traffic increase from Sweden is because of reports of a major ball of light passing through in the north parts of Sweden.
  As you may suspect it's a bolide event taking place, and our newspapers are all reporting that lots of people have seen this, calls to local police stations and so on - the usual stuff.
  The major traffic increase is because we have a major forum in Sweden called Flashback.org where everyone often speaks of everything, including events that are taking place "right now" ie live reports of recent news and even live reports of happenings before the news bring it up.
- Eyewitnesses report possible fireball impact and loud explosion in Sweden, 11 December 2012
  "The sky was completely silent when it flew over us. Then it hit ground near Klarälven river somewhere. Then we were struck by the sound, like an echo after an explosion," she says to Aftonbladet news paper and continues: It was mysterious.
  "I heard a bang and the whole house shook," said a witness in Vansbro. 24-year- old Sandra was sitting in her apartment in Karlstad city looking out the window when she saw something plunge from the sky. "At first I thought it was fireworks, but much too large for that and it just never went off, I thought maybe it was a comet, for it looked a bit like a ball. It had a red and yellow light around and after it," she says, adding that she had seen shooting stars before, and this is not at all like that. "This was really different and much larger. It looked as if something falling from space in a film like Armageddon or something."

In the camera image by Johan Lindén in Turku, a flash can bee seen below the clouds."

  - Medvedev Makes Strange Off-Air Comments - 07 December 2012
    The Russian prime minister expressed bizarre views on Father Christmas and aliens when the cameras were still rolling.
    Another of the journalists asked whether the president is handed secret files on aliens when he receives the briefcase needed to activate Russia's nuclear arsenal.
    "Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special 'top secret' folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet," Mr Medvedev answered playfully.
    "Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country...
    "More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black... I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic," he said.
    None of the television stations that interviewed Medvedev broadcast the off-air comments.
  - Obama's 2nd inaugural seems almost an afterthought - 12/04/2012
    The inauguration is thought of so little these days that there was even some confusion around the White House about when it would be held. Some aides said it would be Tuesday, Jan. 22, after the federal holiday observing King's birthday.
    Obama's second term automatically begins at noon on Jan. 20 under the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, and he's planning a private swearing-in at the White House.

    This is something that is absolutely bizarre.
    It seems that Obama will be sworn in as President in private (secret) without the Press being allowed to view to video it. They will release photos that the White House Press photographer will take, after it is done.
    WHY? Seriously… how come the secrecy? Why won’t they allow it to be videoed?
  - Obama agrees to cut Social Security in fiscal cliff deal - | Dec 17, 2012
    Included in the spending cuts portion of the potential deal is the use of a formula called the chained consumer price index, or chained CPI, to calculate cost of living adjustments to Social Security payments. With the chained CPI, Social Security payments would decrease over time, instead of going up with cost of living adjustments as they currently do. There are also tax increases associated with the chained CPI that hit low and modest income seniors the hardest.
  - Touching the ‘third rail' - 12/17/2012
    It used to be that Social Security was frequently referred to as the "third- rail" of American politics, referring to the electrified rail on a subway system. Touch it and your political career will die.
  - Touching the 'third rail' - November 22, 2010
    For all the talk of polarization, the American people are clear and united about Social Security. A recent poll of those who voted in the midterm election found that 67% of respondents opposed cuts in benefits; 69% opposed raising the Social Security retirement age to 69.
    Messing with social security is a political no no unless something really big is about to happen.

  - 2013: The Year of the Comets - December 8, 2012
    According to NASA:
    Comets' influence on cultures is not limited simply to tales of myth and legend, though. Comets throughout history have been blamed for some of history's darkest times. In Switzerland, Halley's Comet was blamed for earthquakes, illnesses, red rain, and even the births of two-headed animals.
    So what are we to make of the possibility of two Great Comets flying by Earth in 2013?
    The first comet, named C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS), is expected to make its arrival in March 2013.
    The second comet, the one which could possibly outshine the Moon, was only just discovered this September and is called 2012 S1 (ISON). Astronomers predict "current orbital predictions indicate the comet will look brightest to us in the weeks just after its closest approach to the sun, on November 28, 2013."
    The comet is already remarkably bright, given how far it is from the sun, astronomer Raminder Singh Samra said. What's more, 2012 S1 seems to be following the path of the Great Comet of 1680, considered one of the most spectacular ever seen from Earth. 'If it lives up to expectations, this comet may be one of the brightest in history,' said Samra, of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, Canada.

    Objects must be at least 40 meters in diameter to break through the atmosphere and cause ground damage, according to Yeomans. That only occurs about once every 500 years, he said.
    “We know of no objects that are really of a concern to Earth, either this December or for the next several years,” said Yeomans, manager of the near-Earth object project office at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

  - 2012 the Year of Meteorite Falls!
    The year 2012 saw a new record set for most meteorite falls in a single year in the 21st century. I started keeping detailed records of every new meteorite fall that is recovered or reported by reliable sources. Some of these have not been officially approved by the Meteoritical Society yet, but that is not unusual.
    In 2012, eleven (11) new meteorite falls fit the above criteria to be included on my list. Prior to 2012, the most falls in a single 21st century year (since 2000), was ten falls in 2008.
    On average, since the year 2000, we have averaged about 5 recovered meteorite falls per year that are either officially accepted by the Meteoritical Society or verified by reliable sources (such as the 2008 Zunhua meteorite fall, which has not been officially approved yet, but is a meteorite nonetheless).
