RSOE ''Event Into Space'' Lincolnshire 20 September

An ''Event Into Space'' happened over Skidbrooke in Lincolnshire at 13:34 UTC today

I've never seen this category on RSOE before although there have been a few threads on ATS and also GLP regarding 'the 'Event Into Space'' category which were connected to meteors.....

I can't find anything on the net about it... Any members from up North see or hear anything? The coordinates are giving me a village named Saltfleet just outside of Grimsby....

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum...

It probably should be renamed to "Event from Space" if we are talking about verified meteoric events.

"Event into Space" just sounds the opposite to me, as if it were going from Earth 'into Space'.

You see those quite commonly on RSOE. Check the "description" tab - it gives you more information.

Meteorites are a common event.

They also estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10 grams fall to Earth per million square kilometers per year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000 to 84,000 meteorites bigger than 10 grams per year. But most meteorites are too small to actually fall all the way to the surface.

The article seems unrealistic due to poor terminology.

It claims the "meteorite" was spotted in the sky. But that is impossible.
When spotted in the sky it is a meteor.

The 'meteorite' can only be spotted on the ground after impact.
I know you know that but it's fun to point out the quality of journalism in relation to basic semantics and grammar.

I couldn't agree more, stupid terminology...

Why not just call it a meteoric event....

OK, I noticed from an old thread about the ''description'' tab - but couldn't find it... Where on earth is it?

And I check RSOE a few times daily but never seen this before... Also, with meteorites being a common event, why do only some appear on RSOE? Thanks!

It is here : hisz.rsoe.hu...

for your particular event.

I'm not sure how they choose which ones to do. I'm guessing it's because it was seen across several counties (shires, parishes whatever your country or state calls them.) Maybe it's based on "brightness" as many of the astronomical scales depend on that. I really don't know and am guessing as to how they choose which ones to post. Maybe they just grab major news feeds?

Thank you! Where on earth did you find that, I really did look hard for the ''description''... Clearly not hard enough

If your screen displays in English - it's in a greyish/black menu bar just barely above the page you had. It's a clickable link. (menu/tab)

Did you find it yet? It's just above the "translate" icon/button

Can I ask, I always take the time given on RSOE to be when the actual incident took place... But your link states it was spotted on Wednesday night... So should I take the time given on RSOE to be the time any incident is actually reported and not when it actually occured? Thanks....

Trexter Ziam, you are an angel! I have never connected the grey tool bar with the event summary and quite often I spend ages searching online for the specific details of an event and can never find it... Thank you!!!

I would guess again that you have that correct - the time they posted the article.

The event time was

Wednesday night ... 7.23pm

in the non-converted locale's time.

You noticed

right?

I just took the incident time to be 13:34 as stated on RSOE... Which made me think maybe not many people saw it as it was broad daylight and that's why I couldn't find anything on the net about it....

You know, I check RSOE all the time but never think about where the info is actually coming from.... Which is pretty stupid on my behalf

They do give the source of their information in the writeups. I always see that. I have wondered before, how they choose which goes up there and which doesn't. The "about" submenu item won't click for me so I guess we'll never know.

I posted their source for your particular event in a link (and a quote box) in a post earlier today.

Yeah, I'd like to know how they choose what to report and what doesn't.... Seems like they rely on civilians reporting things as well as official info...

Thanks so much for your help! I always spend ages googling to find out more about a specific incident and only about 50% of the time I manage to find out any additional info... I normally keep checking back to see if the summary has been updated I feel like an idiot to be honest...

Locating that ''description'' link is going to save me a few hours a week probably
