mathetes User ID: 18119575 United States 11/14/2012 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Watching major spikes on the detector. Not familiar with it so i'm unsure if these are normal. Quoting: aliensbro When it goes white that means one has burned up in the atmosphere right? correct , and this is highly active, not normal You do realize that the Leonid meteor shower peaks this week My point exactly. Any potential problem meteors in Leonid? Everything I've read suggests this is just a 'usual' year for the Leonids, not like 1966 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21163198 United States 11/14/2012 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20053617 United States 11/14/2012 08:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

scorpio66 User ID: 2453057 United States 11/14/2012 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Last Edited by scorpio66 on 11/14/2012 09:01 PM |
