Massive object crashes over Edmonton, Canada

This doesn't make any sense. I would imagine the military would know exactly where this came down, especially with it having been so bright and with satellite surveillance. Maybe I'm wrong as usual, but this sounds as if it could be a coverup and or very poor surveillance of incoming objects as noticelable as this one was.

I heard on the radio today, CJME talk radio Regina, Saskatchewan that the meteorite probably hit somewhere North of Loyd above the conifer/decid mix line.

So that would bring it near MeadowLake or Cold lake.

Well, I think the problem is that despite the spectacular light show at extremely high altitude, the object itself was not really that big and once it fizzled out it probably traveled quite some distance before hitting land/water. My (unprofessional) guess is that it could be as far as central/north Manitoba.

I suppose some scientist with access to the earth-facing satellite may be able to take the trajectory and estimate the altitude/speed at the point where it went dark and could approximate the location, but there would be no way to pinpoint it more precisely than perhaps several hundred square km.

Yeah - the speed at which a meteor appears to travel in the sky is reliant on both perspective, and actual relative velocity. A meteor traveling directly towards ("point meteor") you will not appear to move at all. It's height above the horizon, which is given away by the length of the shadows tells us more about the proximity to possible landing sites than the speed at which the shadows seem to move.

is it possible that it could have been seen from all the here in Oregon? Please let me know!

Yes. Events like this can be seen over many hundreds of miles since they occur high up in the atmosphere - the start point of the meteor would have been at around 100km (edit: more like 80km) altitude!

These things hurtle outta nowhere at God knows what speed.

You aint got a chance if you're in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

NASA haven't got a clue.

Nor should we expect them to.

You would have to be looking in the right place at the right time. IMO

EXACTLY!!! So, this meteorite, is a screaming fireball that is seen by practically the entire western Canada, but NASA didn't say a word with all the trillions of tech they got.. they.. ahhh.. missed it?? ! WT*~!!!!!!

Internos, please elaborate on this!

Cuz' this is just mind boggling to me. Everyone that lives in the area is posted a massive Fireball, but what is being shown is not a fireball but a little less and to me. The cop video meteorite is coming at a near 70* angle...not streaking horizontally through the sky, close enough to see the sparks!! In one post or news quote (can't remember where) it said that the Fireball was melting and dropping debis as it flew past..

the question that comes to mind is, are the more than 2 meteorites? To me, it sounds like there are multiple ones. *shrug*...

in the event that the missile hit anything, they must deny any knowledge

makes sense doesnt it

thx arc de triumphe~!! I'll take that as a heads up for sure! children have sentive spirits and can say things that will shut up the most knowledgable ppl in the world with their simple wisdom. My daughter's are having some heavy dreams as of late.

Can you give us an update on this??

I live in the Edmonton area, just N.E of the city, and just caught the tail end of it, actually just a very very large burst of light that seem to light up everthing, at first I thought it was one of the refinerys that are in the area and then of course I thought we were being attacked, it was on every radio station and they were saying it was a meteor that had landed in the Ardrossan area, which is about 40km south east of me, now they are saying in the LloydMinster area, which is about 300km east, if that is the case it was one hell of a meteor.

There's a Canadian forces Base at Cold lake if it means anything. not trying to shake the conversations though, thought you might like to know

reply to post by gormly



Long time looker with zero posts. lol

I'm an Edmonton resident and witnessed the meteor.

I will no longer be visiting this board as now that I have witnesed something like this and veiwed the insanity that followed on this topic it leads me to believe that very few of you are credible at all with your theorys,

It was a *SNIP* meteor . period.

Objects starting off around 1-2m in size can loose a substantial portion of their mass when entering our atmosphere. Depending on the characteristics of the material the object is made from, all that could be left to find could be a few kg chunks or fine dust. If this was an Iron meteor then there could well be a crater with a large meteorite berried beneath it.

You are correct in saying that it probably traveled some distance after it fizzled out.

We probably have enough videos of the event already, as well as whiteness reports that the orbit of the object can be worked out with good accuracy. No doubt US DoD satellites will also have measured the intensity of the event, and I'd expect there to be a press release in the coming days (or weeks). It's unusual for satellites to record any data relevant to trajectory as far as I'm aware, although I expect that the US DoD satellites are capable of this, and perhaps some weather satellites might catch it by chance, as I think may have been the case withe the Sudan even a few weeks back.

I live in Oregon.. Hillisboro area.. I didn't see or hear anything..

Have they found the "object" or meteor yet. I've searched but came up empty.

Agreed, but it's "height above the horizon" is no indicative of its altitude IMO, only if you have more info to correlate.

Reviewing the video, I see that the shadows are not moving as fast as I perceived it at first, so it really wasn't that close to ground zero as I previously implied. I stand corrected.

I will say this one more time.

I believe that this was a staged event. It was holographic in nature and was (is) a test. They are testing YOU. To see how you and the world reacts.

Did you believe it? Well from what I can clearly see here, yes.

The tool bag in space was a lie to set the stage, and then several days later a whopping meteor brightens up the sky for several seconds. YouTube is being filled with meteor videos and TV has never been more loaded with UFO and alien shows. Not to mention the holograms on CNN and FOX where the hosts and guests are not really there in the show.

Think about it. Deny... oh why bother, no one will ever get it. -_-

Although lower and brighter than usual, it looked like just a meteor to me. I've seen very similar ones while walking casually at night, just not as low and fast. Only a few weeks ago I saw one which was breaking up into two parts, and have previously seen them crossing the entire sky. Depending on what they are made of they will have flames of different colours, from green to yellow, from orange to blue...

Meteors are common, and unless there is any other evidence forthcoming, I haven't read the whole thread, I don't think people need to overthink this one. It's not like it made a right angle

Not that I disbelieve your hypothesis, I do believe we will have false holograms in the sky sometime soon, and think Stephenville might have been such a case, I'm just referring to the current event.

I have been watching the thread with interest due to believing like you that this is the early stages of a false flag planned event.

Maybe some questions posters should be asking themesleves are:

Why no major world wide news coverage?
Why so many diffirent eye witness accounts?
Why no pre-warning?
Why the small extra object to the right of the main subject in the videos?
Why some defined noise from witnesses and some say a def no to any sound?


I deny ignorance, dont be led by a leash to your pot of gold!

Respects

Without making me go back through the last 30 or so pages of this thread, can someone please tell me why this thread is in the "Alien and UFO" forum?

This was a meteor correct? That would make it an "IFO" (Identified Flying Object)...right???

This thread is pure madness. It was a meteor. It happened over some population at a time when people are out and about. End of story.

Way too much hype into this.

I missed the event, but this morning when I drove to work (at 4:30 AM) I also saw a large shooting star. Biggest I ever saw.

Never made the news though.
