Meteorite Crashes in Russia

It ain't over til it's over. Let's wait and see. Science is wrong all the time.

Not sure if posted yet...

Understandable really as the one today actually struck earth, caused a rather spectacular sky show, and injured many people.

The latter meteor won't even hit. And no, it really won't..

Not surprising really that it's a hot topic. Sure, strikes happen every single day, but this one was fairly big and was seen in a very public area - that's relatively rare.

Excellent investigating.

Now if I throw cold stone at a frozen lake surface, if the angle is steep enough not to bounce, then the stone punches a clean hole.

It still makes a pressure wave (like how a truck does on an ice road because the ice flexes), but if the ice is thick enough, and the lake deep enough (to absorb the pressure wave) then we might indeed be looking at a legit meteorite hole.

Unfortunately those planted witnesses on the lake prove it was a secret military operation.

Haha.. you started it.

He who has near 300 flags and over 290 stars, at last check.

lol, and it ruined my day, I did absolutely nothing but be glued to this thread.

*shakes fist !!* lol

You're under-estimating the mind of the average multitasking conspirator. We're paying attention to both.
Hell, I'm even lumping in the Pope!!! That's how talented my multitasking mind has become

any kids link this to the the sky fairies and their spaceships?

Dude, i would be looking for those, they go for quite a bit
on the open market. some times worth more than gold.

man to find a few chunks, that would be cool as heck.

Quite the explosion, but it looks like 2 trails, kind of like a jet
would leave, unless it was multiple fragments.

what I thought was amazing was that the people walking int he second video go on as if this was normal everyday occurrence.

man, If i was walking down the street and the sky lit up like that I would be turned around or hitting the ground covering my head.

Unbelievable that many just went on their way is if nothing abnormal was going on. Of course the the shock wave took 17 -33 seconds before it is heard and felt but still no one reacted even after the shock wave hit.

About the hole in the ice.

The hole is round cause, it's not the shape or the angle that makes the hole, it's the exsplosion from the impact.

The water gets pulled down on impact and allways create a cirkel when comming back up, breaking the ice in to a round hole.

Look at any impact crater on earth or the moon, they are all circular, take granats or bombs, no matter the angle they allways create a circular hole....Easy

Has anyone found an explanation of the 10+ post explosions or popping sounds , there is the obvious impact but then what sounds like popcorn and its highly unlikely that they are echos as they aren't consistent. this is the first video that I have heard so many of the pops.

Even if it went into two rocks the chances of them behaving having exactly the same level of burn up and trajectory in the way the picture shows are very UNLIKELY.

Look at the picture, look at how the two streams are IDENTICAL. Have you ever thrown two rocks that behaved identically?

Looks suspicious, answers on a postcard or keep your blindfold on.

I will respect your point of view, however I see it like this. A meteorite that was intact in space, was breaking up in our atmosphere, so the trails are very identical as the 2 (or more) chunks separated. There is an explosion where you can actually see fire through the smoke. Then only one trail that fades. maybe the one chunk exploded, causing only one to continue for a short while till that burnt up small and slammed the lake. Maybe the larger pieces collided causing only a small portion to continue on, while the rest rained down to small to see in these videos.

The only problem I have is that the hole in the lake, is small (I can live with that), but there appears to be no splashes, broken ice, or anything that I would imagine an impact sight over water (and ice) to appear. There are a few chunks beside it, but from the force, shouldn't the ice be shattered, displaced, cracked, broken, or splash marks all over the snow?

you broke the embed

Thought I'd post it for you seeing as the thread is going no where now with silly arguments about god knows what.

The good stuff is being ignored in favour of the dark side.. :/

Good video, new to the thread. Sure gives the impact more grunt than some other videos.

Funny that the title of this vid says "the meteorite that was downed over Chelyabinsk"

"A meteorite? I don't care, they will take it down, nothing to worry about!"

It's not the impact that create the boom, it's the sonic boom in air when the object break the speed of sound, as it breaks up, all the pieces creates small sonic booms.

I guess thats why you hear some small ones after the big.

Here's some interesting comments from Michio Kaku on the matter:

m.cbsnews.com...

(CBS News) It's possible the giant meteor that slammed into Russia Friday morning has something to do with the asteroid -- known as 2012 DA14 -- that's expected to soon fly by Earth, according one expert.

Now that's interesting, and certainly a more plausible conspiratorial avenue worth persuing.

So I persued it, and this is what I found...

All that said, it’s quite possible that today will be a bad day for asteroid 2012 DA14. The Earth’s gravity could force it to split in two or shed debris, most of which would follow the same path, missing us by 17,000 miles. “It’s outside the Roche limit where objects are pulled apart, but not much.”

Perhaps we should be looking a little closer as to whether the two events are connected?

I still dont understand how a meteorite can just fall to the icy lake and make a hole like that without some kind of velocity.

If it had some velocity then the quaranted ropes would be more eliptical ( sorry for the bad spelling ).

Im sure that the NASA's of the world would want every chunk of this thing .. why not a 1 mile off zone ?

I would think that the Ice would be in some 'splash down' pattern rather than a direct full vertical hole with minimal circular affects.

Just to say .. I dont think this is anything but a spectacular meteor. I dont think anything like missiles or ufo things took place. .. I think that the pic in the ice is kinda sketchy at best though ..

JG.

Here's another good video of the "asteroid".

What's weird is that last night I saw two meteorites fall in a pasture only a few hundred feet away from me within a 30 minute period. I wonder if they were tiny fragments from wherever this one came from.

That video's time stamp is for dec 31 2012....

I never set my time and day on my camera. I can't see using the timestamp as relevant in this case. The trails appear to be similar to the other videos but the angle is different because toe location is different.

I think something somewhere, is trying to tell us something. I for one don't believe in coincidences. And I am also cognizant that not everything is related but....c'mon now. Even my own grandmother would think there's somethin' amiss here.

I don't know if this was brought up already (there are a lot of replies) but was there any warning of this occurance? Judging from the videos nobody seemed to expect it to happen. There had to have been someone who saw this coming. I have also noticed that a lot of the earlier videos have been removed as if someone was trying to make it as vague as possible.

That still has me baffled.

I mentioned that way earlier in the thread, but then it kept going on about two smoke tails being identical and other tangents, so I don't know if anyone else answered. But there was another video where the smoke was left hanging for a good 50-60 seconds before the initial bang was heard, and instantly it sounded like fireworks going off.

I get that the time lag was due to the height of the event, and can only assume that the crackling popping was due to fragments exploding from breaking off at such speed.

We don't know what the consistency of the material was either, so it's still possible that anything could have been the case. I did think perhaps it was something on the ground that had been set on fire, but that was before I'd read any reliable reports on what had been hit and how badly.

I honestly would not have expected such an event to sound this way.

But I've never heard one before. so..
