Massive object crashes over Edmonton, Canada

reply to post by Waldy


Wow, I can't beleive someone took that seriously, so how does this meteor get handled now, finders keepers? Eminent Domain? Do a bunch of mounties just ride in on horseback and drag it away to the Canadian Top-secret snowball testing base? Or if it landed on private property do they get to keep it?

The meteor was not terribly large and chances are good that not much of it made it all the way to the surface.

Atwood told CTV's Canada AM the meteor was probably no bigger than a grapefruit, and may have broken into small pieces before hitting the ground, or it may have burned up entirely before touching down.

You guys. The next time anything crashes that is worth posting about; Go to Google Earth as soon as possible, and try to find the thing that crached.

thanks.

Here is some video links of the meteor. They were captured in Edmonton Alberta. All reports I've heard so far say it hit the ground somewhere between Lloydminister and Melford, in Saskatchewan. But no reports of pieces found that I've heard yet.

That youtube video is great footage.

Thanks for posting so we all get to see it!

Amazing.

Hope we can know what it actually is.

I saw the metorite go across the sky. It was pretty amazing. The best I have ever seen. There is no way that chunks of it landed in Edmonton and I am not aware of any roads being closed. The meteorite was East of Edmonton and moving farther East and a bit South. If it landed it would have been in Saskatchewan or maybe even Manitoba. It may also just have blazed through the atmosphere and back out into space.

It was very very bright. I have never seen anything so bright and I have seen some good ones.

Ahhh so THAT's what happened to the missing toolbag lost in orbit this week.....

Not seen this reported on BBC or Sky News yet though joking apart. ...

okay for the love of god
how... like 15/16 hours after the incident
with helicopters planes people (believe it or not)
and a rough idea of the area in which it landed.....

how is there still no trace/crater or anything!!

Strange my 5 year old daughter work up after a nightmare said that there was a fire....Then later she was screaming that there was a ball hitting the ground outside. This is not normal for her.

This is very interesting.

If you don't mind me asking, what day and time did this take place? Did she say anything else about the dream or dreams?

When I saw the vdeo as actually GASPED , I mean WOW!

I hope they find some debris!

As stated above it was probably the size of a grapefruit and probably was in millions of pieces before it hit earth... thats like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I repost all four videos for all to watch

Bartlett's video


Cop's car camera


CTV camera


Footage captured by Alister Ling University of Calgary

There are no meteor pieces lying around edmonton just so you know. It hasnt even been confirmed that the object landed. Apparently the sky can play tricks

Seriously people? Many of you should be embarrased....

you can have a pleadian beamship land on the pitch at a football match, have billy meier and three of his alien friends disembark.. and yet the skeptics will still scream cgi!

theres no solution to ignorance

This is what bothers me.. this was just what.. one or two hours after this thing was reported and we have guys like this prebashing "skeptics" with utter nonsense.

As a skeptic myself, if a "pleadian beamship" ever landed ANYWHERE you can bet your rear end that I would be an instant convert..

But you know what?

There's never been a pleadian beamship landing, billy meier is full of crap and I doubt he has any true friends, let alone "alien".. so come off it.

I think you should reverse your sentiment and we'd be agreeing with each other.




This thread is absolutely indicative of what my issue is with the people here.. no one even bothers to wait for evidence of any kind before they start screaming conspiracy, government cover up, little green men and other absurdities.

We had resident "experts" talking about the "flashing" and how meteors "can't do that", we have people telling us about "strobe lights" and the object "slowing down".. Some people were seeing orbs.. relating it to similar past incidents, talking about coverups and roswell.

Some said it was absolutely alien, some said it was an illusion.
Even with the video and 99.9% certainty that it was in fact, a meteor and there is in fact NO "cover up" people still refuse to believe the truth.

There are several of you participating in this thread who claim (loudly) to "deny ignorance" while being the epitome of ignorance.

I think this thread should be a wake up call to the members here that we collectively jump the gun with our serious lack of logic, scientific knowledge and common sense.


Every thread like this thats gets hysterical and out of hand is one more nail in the coffin of ATS member credibility.

I would say that you are mistaken... there has been a few occurances like this however.. never this big or bright

Actually, although bright ones like this are not often seen, they are not rare either

Here's one example:

Super-bolides have been recorded before that were even brighter than the Sun!

I checked online and found that the timing would be right for it to be part of the Leonid meteor shower. I must stress again though that this did not look like any of the meteors I've seen before in my life.

Yes, the timing is not far off for the Leonids, but it was too early in the night for a Leonid as I've said previously in the thread.

Of course this even looks nothing like any meteor you've seen before - it's not every day you get to see a small asteroid entering Earth's atmosphere!

I haven't read through all the posts yet, but I looked at the video. That was alot of energy given off, is that even normal?

Yes, it's normal for a large meteoroid like this. The Sudan event a few weeks back released energy equivalent to between 1-2 kilotons of TNT when it exploded in the atmosphere.

is there a possibily that the object came in the atmosphere around europe? sounds really odd maybe but i heard a sound here about the same time.

No, It's physically impossible. Europe is too far away.

Originally posted by Waldy

I have seen meteorites (not in the same order of magnitude as this one) but imo it should not light up intermittently as it did.

That is very odd indeed.

Why would it do that?

No its not weird at all, this meteor was high in magnesium which burns in bursts of greenish fire. So its only magnesium bursts.

Flaring up as it breaks apart, and being temporarily obscured by clouds has this effect. It's not unusual in such cases.

This has nothing to do with magnesium, and everything to do with the oxygen molecules in air being excited and emitting green light as a result.

okay ive edited it
one is the normal one
and one is with exposure edited
obviously the colours are enhanced
but it gets rid of the flash rom the fire around it
so you can see its a circular object with a sort of long handle coming from it

You won't be able to see the actual shape of the object by doing this. The apparent shape you see here is due to air around the meteoroid glowing, and that is the "shape" you are enhancing here.

Perhaps, maybe this is just the first of more to come?

Maybe

All this talk of crisis and much of what is going on comes down to some sort of celestial event?

A Debris field that our solar system is going to pass through of some sort? Maybe they know in advance that we are coming into a period where we will be passing through more material in orbit and this si the first strike of more to come?

We are passing through debris fields all of the time, and I have written about it here and here.

As the asteroid would begin to enter Earth’s uppermost atmosphere, it would be seen as a large bright-green bolide. At a lower altitude, atmospheric friction would have created an enormous dark reddish-orange glow in the air that will be visible across eastern North America, such that a thousand miles away from the Impact Zone, a reddish glow would backlight even the Toronto skyline in Canada. Indeed, from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Boston, Washington, DC, Miami, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela the glow would be visible.

from this linked site:

www.drboylan.com...

I am not, for a second, saying that the recent Canadian meteorite and Dr Boylan's predictions are connected. But, I hope you'll agree, the similarities are quite spooky.

Just my 2cent.

Not at all - Dr Boylan is simply describing the usual sequence of events and behavior of an object entering the atmosphere in a case like this. If you check back over my previous posts in this thread, you'll see that I also describe this behavior.

How hard is it to pinpoint where it landed? I'd imagine that using 'triangulation' from the many witnesses you might get a general idea of where to look.
I wish I'd be there right now, I'd be out with my gear hunting it down

In this case, there are lots of whitenesses and footage. Compared to most cases, this one should be easy. The only possible stumbling block now is the type of terrain where the rocks, if any fell.

It depends on the laws in Canada. From what I remember from previous falls in Canada, it's basically finders keepers, providing it's on your own or public property.

I am not sure if this link has been posted. So here it is:
