****Raw Video: San Bruno Surveillance Cameras Capture meteor strike followed by fireball detonation****

I don't know how you get a meteor strike out of this. I simply see some preliminary dirt fly into the air prior to the explosion. I assume that came as a result of preliminary venting just prior to the big blow.

if you watch very closely the balls come UP from the blast, not down from the sky.....

Watching the vid, I wished I could pan the camera to the left to see what caused those "stones" to FLY UP. They are not fireballs but "stones" flying in upward motion.Look closely.

Holy crap. I can't tell if it's a meteor but I was shocked to see the woman running away with the baby and a person running TOWARD the lames.

Unreal.

I see explosion and then fire.

Could someone have sabotaged that gas line?

Look at the glare that goes across the camera around 6-7 seconds in before the asphalt and chunks come up.

I see the vertical line you are refering too. I guess I attributed it to a reflection of light off of the passing cars.

That is not the passing cars.

I never believed it until I saw it. everyone here was saying a meteor strike and I was LMAO. Guess the joke is on me. I wonder if there will be more video coming out as well. Good thing the FBI did not take it, or we would wonder about the conspiracy for years, or some would anyways.

The NTSB only investigates air crashes and train wrecks--and there is no rail line there..

The stones are the debris from the gas line rupturing prior to the explosion. The line is under pressure, the pipe blew out and the pressure thru up the debris. you can see the cloud of gas following the debris, the when a spark from the debris ignites the gas, you can follow the ignition of the gas cloud. This pipe was over 50 years old and had no corrosion protection, similar to over 65% of the gas lines buried throughout the US.

What about the glare that passes the lens. Just another glitch?

Why are people running/driving towards the fire??

I would agree with you if ALL the cars had this effect, but they DONT.

This only happens ONCE and that is directly before the disturbance of the soil and THEN the resulting blast.

Notice the guy in the car in the foreground turning around when the glare hits the screen then the debris then the fireball...


The glare made this guy follow the meteor shower...

Run to the light, the big light.

I would still like to see more video of it, and witnesses of said meteor. I am not completely convinced, but it sure does have some validity.

I don't see any houses, where are the houses and why are so many cars driving right through the fire?

Could be but wery hard to see because its daylight
1'st explosion made rocks shoot up then fireball before that its wery wery wery hard to see anything at all come from the sky

Gas fire explosions do not burn WHITE !!! Only extra dimensional impact can get this blaze popping.

The lines are closer to the camera than the road, how could they be related? Pieces of the meteor falling from it maybe? It would be believable if the meteor came from behind the camera.

Holy shit, crazy but there has to be a different video showing it?

Nothing spacey. It is stuff coming from a ground explosion. Explosions with gas fueled fire make a woosh sound. Stand next to a gas heater when it ignites to heat a house and you will hear a mini woosh. Sadly the witnesses heard a huge woosh before the fire exploded.

It looks like there is a small fire already burning in the bushes behind the green street post.

After watching it over and over again I see an impact further back behind the dark roof line with an almost simultaneous gas release in the foreground followed by the explosion. It looks to me like the meteor impact was about 100 feet further back. The impact shock could well set off a nearby gas rupture.

I have been in the 'it was a meteor' camp. People have said if it were a meteor then more people would have seen it. That's not true. It was during the daytime and people don't seem to look up a lot. Here's a video of a daytime fireball in a clear blue Texas sky that streaked across the sky during a marathon. Nobody seemed to notice and the cameraman seems to have just gotten a lucky shot.

who was the idiot running towards the flame!

darwin award!
