A massive fireball lit up skies in several parts of Colorado during the early morning hours of March 11.. Even more, the meteor was reported by dozens of people on the AMS website..
Amazing tales of a long tail and a piece of space that was visible, some accounts say, for up to 9 seconds in time..
This star, however, was not a pink, but reportedly yellow and green in color..
An amazing—and scary—piece of news is being reported very close to the HORROR REPORT home base..
Americans in New York, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania reported seeing a fiery, 500-pound meteor soar through the sky this week before the space rock apparently broke up somewhere over the Keystone State, according to scientists.
NASA said on Tuesday this week that the meteor entered the Earth’s atmosphere in the sky above western Pennsylvania earlier that morning and was reportedly witnessed by spectators stretching for hundreds of miles across the United States from the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest.
The meteor burst into flames above PITTSBURGH..
Remnants of the meteor ended up on the ground in Pennsylvania—my home state as well. I didn’t see this, however, it seemed more confined to the Western part of the state..
It was traveling at 45,000 miles per hour..
The video and the story are both equally amazing..
There were reports of sonic booms.. Lots of calls to the AMA..
And also this piece of interesting news: A meteor exploded over New Zealand yesterday..
The pink stars are falling all too often lately, don’t you think?
Every time we see news that another asteroid is going to have a ‘close shave’ or a ‘nearby run’ at the planet Earth, we also note this: The asteroid was typically discovered just days (or in some cases mere hours) prior to the collision that will not be.
The scenario is no different than the one playing out concerning asteroid 2014 RC.. It will pass ‘very close’ to the planet this coming Sunday. It will not be visible by the naked eye but those aware of it will be able to scope it with their equipment..
Oh, and it was just discovered on August 31 by the Catalini Sky Survey in Tuscon, Arizona..
This particular space rock is 60 feet .. it is expected to fly over New Zealand around 2:18 PM EDT..
A near miss, though.
Far enough away .. not to worry.
But we should worry–we should also be acting on these worries with fixes. There are tons of space rocks looming out there. Some are distant.. some are close. And often time, as we see with 2014 RC, we discover them only a short time before they may come close to the planet—or hit. That’s the scary part.. the knowing of the unknowing..
Chelyabinsk was no different. Recall, when Chelyabinsk happened, the world was fixated on another part of the world as a close by asteroid was ‘safely’ missing the planet. Just then, a boom occurred and the news broke about a big Chelyabinsk explosion. But not by NASA, or other scientists.. instead on Twitter resulting from the use of dashcams that caught the flying ball of fire in the sky..
And that is how things happen..the ‘pink stars’ are always falling.
Let’s just hope the sky doesn’t.
In the mean time.. keep looking up. You never know what you’ll find.
