Unless it's error, the blue base frequency reading is actually raising as well, up into red. Is this normal?

Watching major spikes on the detector. Not familiar with it so i'm unsure if these are normal.

When it goes white that means one has burned up in the atmosphere right?
 Quoting: aliensbro


correct , and this is highly active, not normal
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25574275


You do realize that the Leonid meteor shower peaks this week
 Quoting: mathetes


My point exactly. Any potential problem meteors in Leonid?
 Quoting: aliensbro


Everything I've read suggests this is just a 'usual' year for the Leonids, not like 1966

Re: Meteor Scan Live Feed. WHAT the HECK !!!????
WTF?? I mean REALLY!! This has to be some kind of glitch, or break up in the signal. This looks absolutely crazy. I have never seen it like this. Even during the "meteor showers". Where would this be happening? I mean surely something doing this much activity is showing up in the skies somewhere. Where's the astronomers on here?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19766216


I'm thinking it must be some sort of error. But it IS still moving. If you watch it, the position of the spike changes and the base also fluctuates. It's weird.

Someone mentioned a missile? I wonder if it would look like that?

Yeah.. This is odd. I've never seen it like this. It is continuing, but the height of the bars is dropping.

Imo, the "explosions" that have been happening recently are due to meteorites . . . as precursors for deep impact.

These explosions are strange though. From LAX to the many house explosions this week, none of them had fire on the scene when firefighters arrived, only smouldering ash and smoke. Which to me says one of two things.. Meteor, missile.

Re: Meteor Scan Live Feed. WHAT the HECK !!!????
why are you guys so obsessed with that site. Just tell me when the next 9.8 earthquake is going to be. I want to start celebrating ahead of time. Just give me the date. That's the only reason I'm still on this board.

I want a forewarning so I can start the celebration early. I want to relish it, I don't want it to just sneak up on it...I want to enjoy the buildup first.

When will the 9.8 earthquake hit?

From the website:

"When a meteor strikes Earth’s atmosphere it decelerates rapidly. The friction created by the air causes the meteor to burn up at extremely high temperatures creating the white “shooting star” that we are all familiar with. This process also ionises the air along the trail making it possible to reflect radio waves.

Utilising a high powered VHF radar signal sent into the sky, we are able to detect reflected waves from these ionisation trails. Because the meteor is moving, the reflected signal is shifted in frequency from the original, by an amount according to it’s speed. This shift is also heard as an audible ping by the station operator."

Our system translates the reflected wave into three main parameters - Amplitude (strength), Frequency shift (Doppler shift) and decay time. This allows us to determine the relative size of the meteor strike (vertical scale) and the relative approximate speed and deceleration (amount of shift and width of the trace).

You can see the output from our system above in real time (approximately 1 minute delay on the Internet). During a meteor shower this trace will be full of strike traces, but it is also surprising how many meteors are striking Earth’s atmosphere all of the time.

To me... it is more plausible this is a meteor shower but I do find it highly suspect that spaceweather isn't posting about any meteor showers currently happening if it is.

Also it may be possible that there is high ionization going on in our atmosphere consistently and the ping isn't showing movement because it isn't moving and each ping is due to the fact that it is still currently and consistently registering high ionization. Anyone remember the positively charged band that our galaxy is supposed to be moving towards?

Frequency = Speed
Vertical Amplitude = Size of the strike
Time = Pings done over time

So we can say that it is "something" that is providing consistent speed and strength. This also may be due to the solar storm I am guessing but I may be wrong.

Re: Meteor Scan Live Feed. WHAT the HECK !!!????
It actually does this. I know that I sat here and watched it do that straight constant line thing for hours one night not too long ago, last month or two.

Just went to search to see if I can find it and there's actually many threads where it's doing this. Search "meteor scan" and "meteorscan" here in GLP and you'll see.

There are so many I couldn't even figure out which one was the night it caught my attention.
