MOSCOW A Russian emergencies official says at least one meteorite has fallen in Chelyabinsk region.
Praying!
There was a 5.0-6.0 seismic event in Siberia a day or two ago.
You’ve got to check this out - meteroite falls in Russia and more expected on the way.
Yeah, right. How likely is that?
Be glad your media is not covering this.
They would be blaming global warming.

More expected?
Off... Rust was intercepted several times. They ‘ve seen a kid in a cockpit and flew away thinking of it as a kind of provocation (KAL007 event was only a few years earlier).
Not sure why this doesn't qualify as “News”... It's not a UFO, and it's not like this isn't being reported across the globe at this point...

Admin Mod - perhaps you could add the correct link, and delete the one video link that isn't related or something?
Adding some more news links as the US wakes up...

Meteorite Falls in Russian Urals (w/ video)

Yes. On a timescale of hours, they failed miserably. Rust's successful stunt enabled Gorby to sack the Old Guard in the Soviet military.
Of course, this meteor's timescale was way faster than hours. They never even knew it was coming. It was over after they photograhed it but before they knew what it was. They were gazing skyward bemused when the shockwave arrived, at which time, they were truly amazed.
There was a much bigger example of similar in 1908, 1500 miles to the east, in Tunguska. It had an estimated explosive yield in the tens of megatons. There would have been a lot fewer Youtube uploads if anything like it had hit Chelyabinsk.
What’s puzzling to me is how many here are thinking this is a hoax. I’m praying for those 500+ injured at this point, and praying nothing decides to break off the “big one” that isn’t here yet. It amazes me how many think this is no big deal. The big rock is passing inside our satellite orbits. What about a debris field? It doesn’t take something huge to cause a serious problem when it comes in at tens of thousands of mph.
I read that we won’t be able to see it because of daylight
lol. Shot down?
It was coming down on its own. lol
I am sure the morons in our media will get around to it today...lol. The American Pravda media never misses a chance to promote the prog program!
Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Weather.com had a photo of a large hole in the ice covering a lake. Reporters said that is where the meteorite ended its trip. How bizarre!
I’ve just added a pile of similar topics to the catastrophism keyword and the russia keyword and (where possible) topic, because I’m not where I can easily ping. :’) Some whackjob over there claimed that the event was the result of US weapons testing.
