Russia's authorities on Friday cautioned residents of the Urals to stay away from any unidentified objects after a meteor dramatically burned up above the region, with a precious meteorite apparently plunging into a local lake.

Kind of reminds me of Steven King's cameo in Creep Show.

Meteorites are worth a lot of money.

Meteorites can be worth several hundred dollars per ounce.

QUICK! Someone tell Joe Biden!

The Russian Mafia will get dibs on the main piece in the lake.

They say it was a meteor.

That’s why I think it was on their satellites that was in a somewhat controlled re-entry, and they don’t want anyone taking off with any ‘pieces’ of the object.

There’s got to be a pipin fresh conspiracy baked in here somewhere.

When will the runors start to the effect it was a UFO and the Russian government is engaged in a cover up.

Personally I think it was a UFO piloted by Bigfoot.

LOL...no mistaking The Skipper.

I actually saw a meteor once. I was working security and was walking across the parking lot to begin my clockround, when a huge green fireball shot overhead. I heard a sizzling sound, like one hears with sparklers.

I was in south Georgia, it was later reported that the meteor landed in North Carolina.

We had a CB radio in the office, and there was a lot of chatter.

“There’s got to be a pipin fresh conspiracy baked in here somewhere.”

I think we should make up a good one. It has to include George Bush, the Tri Lateral Commission, a secret satellite, GMO seeds,and fluoride in drinking water. And maybe pancakes.

Add mind control and tissue sampling.

And that human caused global warming is real!

Physics is still the law of the land even in Russia. The meteor dissipated a force equal to a nuclear bomb. It would have required the force of a nuclear bomb to get such a satellite into orbit.

I saw one once too. I was in the 2nd grade in the late 60’s and was playing in the back yard on a clear late spring evening chasing lightning bugs with a neighbor friend while my mother was sitting on the back patio keeping an eye on us. All of a sudden the ground lit up like it was daytime. We looked up to see this thing streak right above us and just like you said; it was greenish, actually I recall it was sort of turquoise, with a long sparkly tail and as it passed over, it made a hissing, whistling sound. My older brother was inside the house listening to a Yankee’s game on the radio and came out to see what happened as he’d seen the flash through his bedroom window and thought a transformer exploded. A while later the local radio station broke in with reports the strange sighting. It was a meteorite, probably the size of a baseball or smaller and it supposedly landed about 20 miles away on a small mountain but AFAIK, no one ever found it.

Although it scared me (and my mother) at the time, it was the coolest thing I ever saw.

[BenLurkin]

I agree that it is unlikely this thing was launched from earth. And it is certainly a meteor (at least it looked and acted exactly like one does)

But surely we could launch an atomic bomb into orbit with a lot less energy than you are suggesting?

[Cold Heart]

Just saying, no conspiracy, classic meteorite, large.
