Meteor fireball over Japan -same day as DA14 perigee- captured in Sukurajima volcano footage

At 1 min in, coming from our right into center field of video, a fiery ball falling out of the atmosphere

Is it the same Russia meteorite, or a different one? How many were they And are they related to DA14's history proximity on Feb 16(for them in Japan)?

Wow ! Cool find! ...but it was daylight in Russia so it could be the same one? Time difference ?

Yeah my bad, looks like its the night after the meteor(s) that struck the Russians...

So its like a big meteor shower instead of little/meteorite shower or something.

Wonder if there was a separate Japan impact then, and how many tons this one was, cause it looks alot bigger than a shootin star!

Looks like theres more footage of Japan fireballs, earlier than 2/16 though:

Still a cool find! .....but it did look like an impact on your video in Japan...something close to there, like the ocean.

Our news just had a scientist on talking about the meteorites.

The way he worded it was that "we're in a shooting gallery".
He was excited about the science involving space stuff, but he clearly wasn't on tv to reassure us that we're safe from anything.
He said they can see all the big stuff out there, but it's the little ones we have to worry about.
There seem to be a lot of little ones...

Interesting. Right after I saw this thread, this came over breaking news feed. No details yet.

Chills...

Looks like a plane going in to the distance.

Like all the other Sukurajima UFO videos.

The Youtube link doesn't work, anyone else have this problem?

Yeah I posted this in the Russia meteor forum. It wasn't noticed because differentiating the difference between meteorite and asteroid was more relavent.

When you see a substantial meteorite over Cuba and one over Russia that knocked people on their ass. One over Japan and a Texas fly by.....

I did my math, added my 1's and 0's and calculated ain't no way these are all connected.

Here is the San Fran Bay Area:



NOT related.

I suspect your math is as faulty as your grammar. Meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere all the time. Almost none of them make the news. The meteor over Russia was of a size that occurs maybe once every five or ten years. Because the Earth has such vast stretches of ocean and uninhabited land, these large strikes often go unobserved. The fact that this one took place over a large city makes it newsworthy. The last such meteor fell over northern Africa in 2008. There have been no reliable reports about the meteor over Cuba. The San Francisco meteor was seen last September.

The grammar was intentional don't be a dusche. I am we'll aware of the frequencies of meteors and meteorites thank you. It goes beyond Russia, count them, 4 meteor or meteorites all over populated areas within a very small time frame. Ans as YOU said they enter our atmosphere all the time. Typically over water since earth is covered in 75% water maybe 76% it rained last night. So if 4 pass over large population centers all of which produced sonic booms should speak volumes to all the ones we didn't see....yes? Which only furthers illustrates my point that they are n....ain't related.

And please check your facts first.

Bay Area sighting...

And yes Cuba was confirmed also. Would you like me to do that research for you too?

The fact is, you linked to a YouTube video from September, 2012.

The story from Chinua has been repeated all over the internet. That is not confirmation. No reputable source has repeated the story. Not that it is impossible, but you are attempting to build something out of unrelated incidents, not all of which have been confirmed.

CNN just reported a fireball passed over San Francisco the other day.
The Bay area - last night.

Space is a busy place.
The meteorites in Russia have made us notice this more.

Exactly! Normally, people don't bother to report "shooting stars" unless they are dramatic enough to be mistaken for an aircraft in distress. Now local news outlets will be inundated with reports for a few days. Rather than go to the local TV station, you can file a useful report here:

As of 10.30 AM this morning, the official Cuban news portal has confirmed the report.

Meteorites and shooting stars happen all the time but not this epidemic of huge, shock & awe fireballs in the sky in several areas all over the globe in just one week and incidentally around the da14 period,

Yet I havent seen NASA or any officials explaining why now or connecting/distinguishing the two events (global da14 event vs multiple local sightings of smaller meteors putting on a show way bigger than shooting stars)

377 fireballs reported in so far this year. In the US alone. That's 8 each day. No so uncommon.

Perhaps because they are not related.
