Big mini van but a cube 4m x 2m x 2m of solid steel would be about 125MT.
I live in Placerville and I had just gotten up and heard it. Ran out back and was looking to the east and the sound was like a space shuttle launch or a jet flying low... I thought to myself, ok this is it. I had no clue what it was. I am glad to have found out the cause. Still scary.
The rocket launch analogy is good. It sounded like the popping of the space shuttle launches. Interesting but freaky.
Whoever locates the debris field is going to make a few bucks.
Yup..
Yet the 911 call track shows TWO near 90° turns.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." ~ Arthur C. Clarke
Eye witness accounts on the Tunguska event also reported radical direction changes.
A much bigger trajectory change can occur when a large part of *something* breaks off!
Conservation of momentum would require a bifurcated track for a large part breaking off, not a single object making a sharp turn (although I suppose a change in aerodynamic shape could happen by shedding a smallish edge or other feature).
911 call track?
See post #7.
Oh.
I don’t think I buy two sharp turns based on some 911 calls.
I wouldn’t based on some.
There were scores along each of the legs of the track.
Data points are stubborn things.
So this meteor made two sharp turns based on 911 calls?
So what do you suspect caused this?
I don’t know how “sharp” the turns were. Abrupt? 50 mile radius?
Beats me. Off hand I’d say maneuvering is a sign of intelligence.
Oh...
Well, I am waiting for one the size of a stadium to hit. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened in the past hundred years.
I’ve seen a whole bunch of stuff through optics. To be honest, it’s really spooky stuff when looking at a star field, and suddenly an object enters the field of view and slowly exits. No way these are satellites which I’ve also seen crossing the FOV. Bit sat’s are very fast, crossing within a fraction of a second.
Me too. If there is a Just God it will strike mecca.
At the height of the hajj...
eyewitness is notoriously unreliable.
Give me radar data, showing 90 degree turns (even one will do), then we will talk.
Hmmmm. Challenging. Radar didn’t exist in 1908.
As to the 911 calls do you believe scores people who didn’t hear an explosion called 911, while not one of the tens thousands of people on what would have been a straight track who did hear an explosion didn’t call 911? That would explain the three straight line tracks.
Do you doubt the Bible because it consists of only of eye witness accounts?
Interesting!
