Huge fireballs flying over buildings and exploding with a strong blast | |

Did you see any fireballs flying over buildings and exploding?????????????? What I see in the videos is a streak of smoke and only later there is an explosion, but where are the fireballs, any videos of those. I mean as they claim, FIREBALLS, not a single fireball. Plus have you seen videos of debris falling from the skies as claimed. It is just a sonic boom or whatever, it cannot be linked directly to the meteor. It could be another kind of explosion. How do you know it was the meteor? Because of the dashcams that show the whole event. What is the use in explaining it to you? You are trying to be obtuse. "Everybody lies." |

Well, to be honest, even the Russian astronomers are not quite sure of its nature. Some said it was a comet, not a meteor. I am surprised at your readiness to name everything that flies and emits strong light a meteor :) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 33757397 United States 02/17/2013 10:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys are blind. No videos showed any fireballs flying over buildings. Period. There were many dashboard videos released of 'A METEOR' approaching and dissipating long before reaching ground. I didn't seen on any of the videos fireballs above the buildings or huge explosions! Quoting: ME 31575640 Agree with you. I was very confused by the youtubes not matching up with what the news reports were. I didn't see fireballs in the videos. I heard multiple explosions, but did not see anything exploding. I dunno.... I have many questions. 5 stars for you. Ignore people saying it's over. We can discuss it all we like, we are just trying to figure out what happened. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 33757397 United States 02/17/2013 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Where are the videos showing the fireballs exploding above buildings? We only have dashboard videos of some fireball/s flying in the sky and dissipating. It doesn't really look so big either. On footages from similar events you can see the same kind of brightness and size. My question is what caused the explosions!!!!! Do we have any reliable witness accounts of such huge explosions and can we be sure if they were caused by the fireball? We were only given dashboard videos, come on! Furthermore, the people driving didn't respond in any unusual way to the supposed huge event. Quoting: ME 31575640 Yes, and the explosions were HUGE and blew out windows, and then the news sites showed a little hole in the ice that is about three meters across. ?????? |
ME (OP) User ID: 31575640 Poland 02/17/2013 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No power lines are knocked down either. A hurricane does more damage than that 250kt meteoric explosion did over there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34567638 Yeah, if the official version is true humanity should not worry about a potential asteroid impact as the only damage would be broken glass and few collapsed walls due to the sonic boom... But seriously now, how much do we know about what hit there? Did it really hit, did it get destroyed while still in the air by missiles or by itself, what trajectory did it have and so on. How big was the object? They should do a better job at reporting not just show amateur footage, dashboard videos and some sound of explosions which cannot be located with certainty. What about the collapsed building? Perhaps that is where an explosion occurred. |

Quoting: ME 31575640 I agree. The story was revised this morning on Yahoo to say that they "underestimated" and it was the power of 500Kt explosion. Really? That is 250 times stronger than Hiroshima. Yet, no flattened buildings, no EMP, no cars on fire. It seems odd with all the dashcams and sonic booms nobody had their cameras out to catch the meteor "striking" that building. The wall is neatly collapsed on one side. Not blasted over a large area. It looked to be not a factory that was currently working but an old abandoned one partially being dismantled anyway! By the way, you make a very interesting point. We should look more closely at the factory! It is where the most significant damage occurred. It is logical to assume that is where the explosion was the strongest or perhaps even originated. Perhaps that is the source of the explosion.Of course, it could be that the building was very old and about to collapse and the sonic boom did just that. But, very strange collapse indeed. As if hit by a rocket or something. If it were hit by ANYTHING like a rocket or meteor, why would the bricks be piled neatly next to the building? The blast would not merely cause a single wall to collapse. The photos I've seen looked like nothing in keeping with an explosion, at all. |

They showed the vaporasing trail above them and didnt really follow the object (or the part(s) that remain after the explosion). Ostria |

I guess they would love to play it down but unfortunately the people there took videos and images and we all were very excited and wanted to learn more. On the other hand it sounds normal to try to study the event later and not in the middle of the panic and see what happened and how they can protect us from other such future events. I m sure it will be in their next meeting agenda. Ostria |

Meteor - A small body of matter from outer space that enters the earth's atmosphere, appearing as a streak of light. Huge? What is huge? It's the largest fireball caught by video that I have seen. Is there more than one? Hard to say from the quality of the video as the flash overwhelms the cameras. I'm pretty sure though this will be clarified in the near future from analyizing radar returns. That's of course dependent on what systems were up and running at the time. Bad journalism? What the hell do you expect? This happened in Russia which is still a pretty fucked up place by Western standards. Last Edited by G. House on 02/17/2013 12:09 PM "Everybody lies." |
