“Unsubstantiated” rumor: The Russians tagged a 1 to 3 meter diameter asteroid fragment with an air launched tactical nuke. That’s what caused the flash and the broken windows.

The asteroid grazed the atmosphere and broke up. There are many more chunks now in orbit. Some may of those orbits may decay.

PS Aren’t we so blessed that Obama has turned NASA into a Muslim outreach program and is gutting our military?

Oh wow that would make sense! Do you think it’s credible?

Oops, “Some may of those orbits may decay” should be “Some of those orbits may decay.” Posting on an iPhone. Sigh.

Just think if any of that debris makes it to any major North American cities..... we just might see Anarchy breakout if it happens to take out telecommunications or a city.

He also shut down Reagan’s missile defense too didn’t he? Sounds like the Russians are sure developing theirs if rumors are true.

Don’t buy it. Meteors can enter the atmosphere at up to 60,000 mph. At those speeds the pressure wave alone would be responsible for any effect.
