  • A potential meteor crashed through a woman’s house in Texas

    A potential meteor crashed through a woman’s house in Texas

    A bright fireball streaked across southeast Texas skies, creating a booming rumble when a meteor broke through the Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday. One woman claims a fragment crashed through her home. 

    According to NASA, the meteor became visible over Stagecoach, traveling southeast at roughly 35,000 miles per hour before breaking apart roughly 29 miles above the Earth’s surface just west of Cyprus station around 4:40 p.m. Central Time. 

    The fragmentation of the meteor, which NASA said weighed roughly a ton and had a 3-foot diameter, created a pressure wave that caused a loud booming noise. 

  • Tonight might be one of the most beautiful nights of the summer

    Tonight might be one of the most beautiful nights of the summer

    Get ready for one of the most beautiful nights of the summer—not because of the weather, but because the Perseid meteor shower will be lighting up the sky this evening. And it’s arriving alongside a waning gibbous moon, just a few days past full, glowing bright for all to see.

    If your skies are clear, you’ll have a perfect view of both the moon’s silver glow and the streaks of meteors tracing across the darkness. The Perseids are known for their magic—quick, bright flashes that vanish as suddenly as they appear.

    It’s the perfect excuse to grab the hand of someone you love, spread a blanket on the grass, and lie back beneath the vast summer sky. The season is fleeting, and nights like this are rare. Step outside, breathe in the warm air, and let the meteors remind you that beauty often lasts only a moment—so don’t miss it.

    A meteor may have shaken parts of New York City and New jersey

    Residents in parts of New York City and New Jersey were shaken by a loud boom Tuesday July 16 morning.. NASA officials saying it was likely due to a daylight fireball meteor.

    NASA’s Meteor Watch team reports that the daylight fireball was seen at 11:17 a.m. ET, according to an update shared to Facebook Tuesday afternoon..

    A daylight fireball is a meteor that is bright enough to be visible during daylight hours because it’s burning brighter than the sun’s light as it enters the Earth’s atmosphere…

    Fireball caught on home security camera turns Colorado night sky blue
    An object described by news outlets and witnesses as a “mysterious fireball” briefly shot across the sky early Wednesday, raising widespread speculation about what it might have been.

    Residents – and experts – throughout the Midwest are weighing in with speculation.

    Reports of unidentified flying objects are hardly new, although some seem to be ranking what looks like a blazing ball shooting across the sky particularly high on the highly-scientific awesome scale.

    It seems to be that time of year when the sky begins to fall! We have already been warned of several astroids nearing close to earth within the next few weeks. This one, well, is “natural” according to some..

  • Meteorite hits Cuba!!

    Meteorite hits Cuba!!

    A meteorite hit western Cuba on Friday afternoon, according to eyewitness reports. 


    The event sounds like it was pretty dramatic: “We’re receiving reports that a meteor was seen in the sky across the Florida Keys,” NWS Key West tweeted, adding that the space rock “likely exploded over the province of Pinar del Río.” 

    CNN’s Havana correspondent, Patrick Oppmann, described the sound of a “large explosion” in the town of Viñales and posted pictures of the fragments..

    And perhaps adding the oddest part to this… February 1 2019 was rumored since 2002 to be the target date for a meteor to hit earth.. back at the early part of this century there were fears it would be planet ending.

    Maybe not the meteor that wiped out earth… but sure a fragment that freaked out Cuba..???

  • The Detroit boom: A friend visits from a trip 28,000 miles per house

    The Detroit boom: A friend visits from a trip 28,000 miles per house

    This is the AP news brief on the meteor and earthquake in Detroit January 16:

    DETROIT (AP) — Experts say a bright light and what sounded like thunder in the sky above Michigan was a meteor.  The American Meteor Society says it received hundreds of reports of a fireball Tuesday night over the state, including many in the Detroit area. Reports also came in from several other states and Ontario, Canada.

    Some Michigan residents reported their homes shaking.  The society says the reports suggest a space rock penetrated deep into the Earth’s atmosphere before it broke apart. The U.S. Geological Service says it registered as a 2.0 magnitude earthquake in Michigan.

     Bill Cooke with NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office tells The Detroit News it was “definitely a meteoroid” and a rare sight for Michigan.

    Other states where people reported seeing a fireball included Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri.

    More information now being revealed.. CBS in Detroit reported that NASA said the meteor was from deep in space and traveling 28000 miles per hour.. the rock broke apart in the atmosphere and the loud noise was from that .. There may be space rocks on the ground near Detroit. Local reports indicate that the race is on for people to ind them intact!

    Other reports indicate that panic among people set in with the loud noise and rumble. It was not until officials told people what it really was that people understood it was not a second coming of Christ.. a bomb.. a missile attack… Or the end of the world.

    But With the strength of this meteor, we could count the nation lucky. A little bigger, faster, or stronger, and a Chelyabinsk part 2 could have occurred on a cold Saturday night in the Michigan city.

    Let’s hope that our loud visitor is not traveling with friends.

  • The Iran story you’re not hearing about

    The Iran story you’re not hearing about

    Clyde Lewis typically focuses his radio show on the strange and unusual, with a twist. He’ll ignore the tempest in the teapot of daily news, while the rest of his competitors struggle with political implications. And that is often times what makes his show so special–it’s a tribute to creativity and entertainment, with food for thought and good information mixed in to please the mind during the late night hours..

    Last night, though, his show got under my skin–deeper than others that featured tales of ghosts and goblins. This show, last night, focused on the very thing which can kill human nature, the world.. everything: The big asteroid. The lurking monster which is poised to strike. Maybe this year..next year..next century. But it is out there. And if the universe indeed lives forever, it will happen to the planet earth just as it may have 65 million years ago. We think..

    Clyde Lewis’ August 3 show was important for a few reasons.  First off, there has been this undying suspicion amongst the conspriacy fishwrappers of the Net world that NASA ‘knows something.’ And that the something is a life altering asteroid strike this September.. Secondly, it gave natural attention to the source of these predictions: A self proclaimed prophet named Efrain Rodriguez. This man’s ideas of a rapture beginning this autumn has been so strong, and caught on so much, even NASA itself was forced to respond, stating that it is not aware of anything on the horizon that will turn Earth into a former human life living pile of rubbish.

    A few notable events worldwide have caused a rise in high strangeness, as noted on GROUND ZERO last night. News tidbits such as these:

    A ‘heat dome’ in Iran so strong, that temperatures rose to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. One meteorologist said it was the most incredible observations ever seen.

    It does not end there. The continuing Iran story unfolded after the heat dome became yesterday’s news was even weirder: A series of serious meteor impacts in various places in Iran, along with observable seismic activity to coincide.  Somewhat like Russia in the winter of 2013 over the Ural Mountains..

    The news blackout on the Iranian meteor issue is startling, however..
    Media sources have been busy reporting on every angle and aspect of the Obama Administration nuclear deal with the nation George W. Bush declared a card carrying member of the Axis of Evil, but the same sources aren’t too busy worrying about an actual event of true seismic proportions. The strange blackout has even inspired counter-conspiracy claims that the meteorite story is false to begin with, that something else is afoot and the activity in the nation isn’t what it seems..

    A few days ago Tehran confirmed the meteor strike. But the reports of that confirmation have not been shared on worldwide publications that gain the most respect as news networks.. The ‘other guys’ have been busy saying it, along with on the scene reporting from Twitter users in the areas affected by the purported meteor. 

    Oh, and not to be outdone by Christians pastors predicting the end times in September, but this newest meteor hit in Iran has given rise to cultural rumors in the nation that their Messiah is coming.

    I have written prior that this September asteroid rumor has been around for some time.. And that the source of the prophecy may be questionable.  I find myself standing by that assertion. Maybe because I sort of believe it..maybe because part of me is a little freaked that it could also be true..

    Are you rapture ready?
    Did you clean up?
    Jesus may come today.
    As may an asteroid.
    Wake me up when September ends.
