What meteor makes a 180 degree turn?

that's weird

a reply to: Wojwoda

That video looks fake.

There was a meteor though, this is it I think..

It sure made a sharp turn! It is either fake or it is not a video of a meteorite.

a reply to: Chadwickus

Your fireball looks like it went in the water. The burning field might have been a different event. And the second one with the turn looks launched from a boat or an island.

They might all be different events.

i uploaded to yt so i could embed it

No meteor ever makes a turn. They do not make fires either, unless they hit the Earth at or near cosmic velocity.

So which one is the actual meteor? One is daylight, one is dark?

a reply to: Wojwoda

Could this have been a missile strike hidden within the meteor strike? The acting government in Venezuela wouldn't be too far away from doing that in order to stop public up rising (as seen by their reaction to food and supplies getting delivered)

This same video was uploaded a year ago under some other thread

That's fake for sure. Found this other one without that crazy turn.




At 0:13 on the video there is a big sign "Bienvenidos" (Welcome). Sorta funny.

a reply to: Guyfriday

With all the crazy going on in Venezuela at the moment I would say that is pretty damn probable. All I know is I have never known of a meteor to do a full turn like that. That look like some intentionally directed unidentified missile

If that Edit1 video is real its no meteorite. That's a UFO...
and now you get this.

a reply to: Mysterychic88

I'm thinking that if the video is of a fake meteor strike, then the possibility of this video being used to create a cover story for a hit on an opposition site is fairly high. On the other hand if the video is true, then the possibility of a missile strike on a building is very high.

I wouldn't rule out some interwebs HOAXster just putting this out for whatever reason too. Though the evidence of a meteor coming through the atmosphere is there, the evidence of this guided meteor video isn't possible though.

Heh, figured some #ery was afoot, still awesome to though.

The projectile whatever it was, moved too slow to be a meteorite or missiles..

Perhaps it was a small or medium sized plane on fire..?

a reply to: Wojwoda

There was this from 2016, it could be the same event.
