2.1 Kiloton Explosion Over Air Force Space Command Base Thule, Greenland.

Now this is something that "struck" my eye.

It's checking all the boxes:

1. Explosion 2.1 kiloton
2. Above a space command
3. Thule ( Remember the Thule society ?

But it happens to be a meteor.

But my conspiracy mind.... Find it too many boxes ticking : )

Where's the Space Force when you need them?

Sure? Maybe they were active and blew the thing up themselves!

Nice coincidence

I blame Putin.

There are nearly 2,000 nukes on alert, ready to launch.

This is the bit that worries me...

Indeed. Megalomaniacs suffering from extreme paranoia caught my eye too.

ETA IMHO, the US would do the same. Fear rules this planet...

Thule ? fumbling around with black Goo ?

Phil Plait's article: www.syfy.com...

n this case, the piece of debris (called a meteoroid) entered the atmosphere over northeast Greenland. It was moving at 24.5 kilometers per and it burned up while it was still 40 or more kilometers above the ground. Most small meteoroids (what you’d think of as “shooting stars”) burn up much higher than that, but they’re small, like the size of a grain of sand. This one was much bigger, so it got deeper into the atmosphere.

[...]

Assuming it was rock, with a density of 3 grams per cc, and further assuming it’s a sphere, that gives us a size of 2.6 meters across (I’ll leave the math to the curious reader, but remember the formula for the volume of a sphere and that density = mass / volume). If we assume a slightly lower density of 2 g/cc (plausible for certain types of asteroids) the size is 3 meters across. If it were metal at 8 g/cc it would have been just under 2 meters across.

So it was a contradicting explosion.

kilo is metric and ton is standard?

the whole thing just seems odd

Public support campaign for "Space Command" ?

The bugs on Klendathu are zeroing their meteors soon they will be able to get them hitting major cities time to deploy the mobile infantry

Fortunately, there's a team on the way to investigate: Link

Watch the skys.

a metric ton is 1000 kilograms or 2,205 pounds
no confusion at all

i am still confused as is the explosion was confusing.

kilotonne would be metric

kiloton would be something else

why not just say 2 megagram

anywho i know you are correct in your point and i am just pointing out the confusing world of measurement

You seriously don't know what a kiloton is?

Do you seriously not know how to form a proper question?

It just seems odd to me that a tonne is reported as a ton when they are not the same.

To someone with your comprehension skills as you have displayed to myself in the past you are correct.

To others there are questions as i have pointed out.

The term kiloton is confusing to you, but I'm the one w comprehension issues......

Lol ok buddy......
