Eyewitnesses in New England and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise.
The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire.
The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise.
Entertainment now seems a lot more exciting than it was in 2001… a review deep down at the bottom of the vault..
We have written about how exciting the summer box office of 2026 is for horror! But back in 2001 in the stone ages of the internet, we were not that excited .. From the annals and the deeply old records, we opened the vault to see what we were saying in May 2001 about ‘cutting edge’ horror that was mostly just dull and boring…
…for your review.. were were less than enthralled then at what Hollywood was giving us..
Sit back in the chair, sip a warm Pepsi … and watch a Late Night jam session between Conan O’Brien and Martha Stewart. I am. But off in the distance flashes halloweenmovies.com’s latest Halloween 8 update. Rick Rosenthal saves the day! H20, the fabled 20th anniversary film, wasn’t too final. We needed another sequel, this being a sequel of the H20 film, which was a sequel of 1 and 2, not including 4 and 5 and especially not harboring love for 3…Season of the witch.
The May 9th flash reads:
….May 10, 2001 Star of MTV’s THE REAL WORLD SEATTLE and URBAN LEGENDS: FINAL CUT, Jacinda Barrett, has been cast in HALLOWEEN 8…
Shocking, especially since their May 10 report was filed May 9. I check my computer date. No, it’s May 9. Thought so.
Wonderful. The director adds another MTV generation star to the roster. Make some room, Busta Rhymes. Save a chair, Bianca Kajlich, and save the last dance, Sean Patrick Thomas. And if it’s not too much to ask, keep your hands in the aisle, Tyra Banks. You might be next. And you might all be in nine, unless Mike hacks you up this go around.
Speaking of which, will Carson Daly play Michael Myers? Why not reprise the role of Dr. Loomis with the ever trustworthy Kurt Loder. MTV news. All Snoop, all the time…
Clamoring Halloween fans asked to make sure Jamie Lee Curtis’ character was treated with at least some respect, maybe more than she got in H20. Sip some Bianco, Ms. Tate. What might come from the latest motions from the office of the director as told to Halloweenmovies.com as told to the American and world public as reported 4th handedly on this website is the ultimate finale of a Jamie Lee Curtis death scene. Laurie Strode, from tight pants to fatal H8 conclusion.
Rick Rosenthal, evidently signaling and end of the “Strode girl’s” work told the big honchos at halloweenmovies.com about a “strong” role for Curtis during the first half hour of the film. Read between the lines…see the blood. She will die…my sources tell me. Rumors at this point, but then again, so is Freddy Vs. Jason–for 6 years now.
Not only the absence of sense from H8 appears to be in the works, but also the missing link of Dr. Samuel Loomis’ presence. Made difficult by the death of Mr. Donald Pleasance himself…don’t worry, they gave tribute to him in the wretchedly edited H6, although they spelled his name wrong in the credits and killed his character off without remorse.
Oh, the state of modern horror. We had been Forsaken long enough, then Along Came a Spider, and Mummified again, driving out Driven, riding with Croc Dundie..again…This time in LA. An original concept. You’re not in Australia anymore, Crocodile…then again, were the Survivors? Did we put a man on the moon?
Coming soon Spiderman will save us from reality TV, maybe even be more realistic than Rob Burnett’s Survivor which subsisted from a rating bonanza and a bout of hunger in the outback….Was that Colby? Tina? Or their doubles, Mr. Mooves?
The Rock left the World Wrestling Federation, Stone Cold turned heel, and Vince McMahon lost his status as engineer of a genius operation with his X(extreme)F(football)L(league). But the Rock appeared in a film for ten minutes and became an ‘actor.’
And without the drug busts of late and the possible strike that never happened, Hollywood would have been quite boring. Nicole Kidman would have been stunned to find her short handed ex husband to be gay, though he denied and sued, but the stalker was most surely fond of the rumor.
True horror has become more fascinating and sensational than even that which graces big and small screens alike. Tim McVeigh will soon die, Europeans cannot eat meat, NBC is the strongest link with their Weakest Link, and Kentucky Thoroughbreds are dying unexpectedly. Gas costs and arm and leg, plus $1.65 a gallon for regular as a whole…California is darker than even Hollywood thriller sets.
Did I mention Elvira was coming back to screen? No?
Guess it can’t get scarier than this.

So it turns out people who doubted disclosure may have been right
The Trump administration may have just pulled the ultimate troll.
For weeks, UFO enthusiasts were told to get ready for a major reveal. A website called aliens.gov was teased, and speculation spread rapidly throughout the UFO community. Many believed it could become a hub for government disclosure related to unidentified aerial phenomena, extraterrestrial life, or long-classified files.
UFO journalist and investigative reporter Jeremy Corbell expressed concerns that things might not be exactly what they seemed. As it turns out, that concern was well-founded.
When aliens.gov went live, the site wasn’t about extraterrestrials at all. Instead, it focused on aliens of a different kind: illegal immigration. The website’s messaging stated that “they have walked among us for 60 years” and proceeded as an anti-immigration platform rather than a UFO disclosure portal.
Now, to be fair, we don’t yet know what the long-term plans for the website are. It is entirely possible that information regarding UFOs, UAPs, or even what some would call aliens of the third and fourth kind could eventually appear there. But as of right now, that’s not what people found.
The reaction has been predictable. Those who have spent years following the disclosure movement feel frustrated and misled. Meanwhile, many who never trusted the Trump administration’s promises regarding UFO disclosure are feeling vindicated. In their eyes, the ultimate trolling job just happened.
Whether the website eventually becomes a legitimate source of information remains to be seen. What we are witnessing right now, however, is a segment of Trump’s own support base becoming disappointed. Many people who believed he would be the “disclosure president” are suddenly questioning whether they were sold a promise that was never intended to be fulfilled.
And honestly, why not join the club?
A lot of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, have looked at the visual images of the White House coming out of Washington this week and wondered the same thing: if we’ve somehow stumbled into an episode of Idiocracy, how exactly do we find our way back out?
Box office watchers are saying to prepare for a possible shock this weekend.. both BACKROOMS and OBSESSION continue to score high and rake in cash … Meanwhile the 2000s called and asked for the Mandalorian back..
MORE..
Kane Parsons has won over a younger generation.. his film is connecting with the under-35 demo (a massive 87% turnout since Thursday night) with Backrooms now on track to hoard a $76M to $79M after a $33M-$35M Friday at 3,442 theaters, which includes Thursday night’s $10.4M. Some are expecting an $80 mil opening!
But even bigger is Curry Barker’s horror world..
A24/Chernin Entertainment co-financed movie isn’t even hurting business for Focus Features’ Curry Barker Obsession, which is going over $100M in its third frame after what’s shaping up to be a 3-day of $25M at 2,780 theaters …
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has seen a 69% drop from its first week..
