    what video am i supposing to be watching?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Torakx


    Might be alien life forms on the meteor :P

    The one with the triangle:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    Is there any information on the direction of the origin of the phenomenon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    No just that video it must have been some missile to take out the Meteor.

    I believe a stray minor rock was pulled away from the main asteroid as it got close to earth & sun of which hit russia. Like this...of which broke away.... maybe a few rocks were close and were stuck with gravity to the main one, but not this many in the picture.

    Or, you know, it was a meteor. Or is that just too far fetched an idea?

    Funny that is exactly what I said to a friend the other day when he brought it up.
    I thought it seems quite low to seperate and maybe it was hit by a defense system thinking it was an atack from either space weapons or a long range attack.

    Aquarius you know about alien life forms coming to our planet. Is this how you got here?

    The video and sound that showed the booms and windows blasted in are A typical of an object traveling supersonic speeds at a low altitude so it was either a breakaway tiny rock asteroid from the main one that passed over-head in russia or it was a coincidental meteor fragment at the same time as this main asteroid was passing. It sounds a bit coincidental for my liking but who really knows ?.

    Indeed, does every minor news story these days require a conspiracy in some form? There really is no scope for conspiracy here, it was a natural event that occurred completely outside the human scope of influence and ended over Russia.

    Actually... maybe it was the Nazi's secret moon base tractor beam that pulled part of the asteroid off course to try and finally defeat the Russians

    But what was it that came out of the asteroid.

    Things break up when the friction with the atmosphere heats them up. Look at the shuttle Columbia, that broke apart didn't it? This thing was apparently going at over Mach 20+ for a time, that'd make it get a little bit warm. It broke up due to atmospheric friction, end of story.

    Smaller chunks of rock - caused when the rock shattered while entering our atmosphere.
    Why did it shatter? Because Putin turned his baleful gaze skywards and willed it to be so.

    True story.

    It was cosmic coincidence, they came from diff directions

    Nah has to be a missile


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,441 ✭✭✭old hippy


    It was a meteor. Earth has had a lot of them over the last few billion years. It only makes the news and discussion forums because we're new additions to the cosmos.

    Your wrong. You can clearly see the missile being shot out of the sky by a UFO, which looks like it fired a laser beam that bounced off someones tin foil hat on the ground & then destroyed the missile. Why would a UFO destroy a missile that was about to destroy a meteor? Well, isn't it obvious? It wasn't a meteor at all...it was a prototype nuclear powered craft which was in contravention of the accords our shadow governments signed with the aliens who owned the UFO.

    That still leaves the question of who fired the missile...again, also obvious. It was clearly shot from a rival nation, more than likely North Korea who had they succeeded in destroying the 'meteor', would have instigated a war here on Earth between themselves & the US who owned the 'meteor'. Had this have happened, the aliens in the ufo would have had to intervene & they can't do that until the dawning of the age of Aquarius. It all makes perfect sense if you think about it

    No missiles. Just a chunk of rock.

    Have a look again at the video, clearly something comes from behind and strikes it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    shooting at it from that angle wouldn't make any sense tho.

    there is a fairly straightforward physics explanation for this phenomenon,

    as the meteorire entered the earths atmosphere it began to experience resistance,
    this resistance caused a few things to happen to the meteorite
    1) it began to compress a layer of atmosphere in front of it which created the fireball you see in the video
    2) it began to slow down
    3) it began disintegration

    the main meteorite, having the larger surface area, had the lowest terminal velocity
    small pieces, such as the one in the video then caught up to it, the impact of the smaller pieces carried enough kinetic energy to punch through the larger meteorite.

    Remember
    Ek = 1/2MV^2

    so although the was a large difference in the masses of the objects the difference in velocity is squared, and there is a very obvious difference in velocity.

    Your video almost buggered up my pc, so no thanks. But I reckon I can safely say, without viewing it, that nothing missile like struck the meteor.

    Thats it, but yes, no missile. Think Tzar's explanation would be pretty accurate.

    Hootanany, do you think that it may have been the missile explosion that caused the meteor to disintegrate and also caused the shockwave ?

    Not friction. Ram compression.

    I've never heard of this happening. I always thought that as bits broke off they deccelerated more and arced away from the main trajectory.
    But i see what you mean there. That'll be a few hrs researching tonight! Ta!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    closer to the ground yeah, that's what usually happens, but at the initial stages of atmospheric entry the angles and numbers are quite interesting.

    What missiles, all I see in the vid is smaller fragments both behind and infront of the main body, as would be completly expected.

    Just look at the tajectory, the supposed missile would have to have been launched from orbit to come in at the angle, it's clearly quite small so could not have been an ICBM capable of such angles of intercept.

    AHA! Did I hear mention of space missiles?!
    Sometimes i wonder what they have been shipping up there lol

    It was actually a hologram .
    They make up the news to increase their advertising profits .
    They would make up anything to get you to watch the mainstream media news .
    using their holographic technology

    Seems a fairly boring story to use holographic technology for. I mean its not like we were glued to our seats. Id use that technology to make up a country ending in -stan and claim its suffering a zombie outbreak..

    But yes... Holographic meteorites. The msm know what gets us hard.
