Air Force remains silent after huge meteor hits near US military base

A meteor hit the earth and exploded with 2.1 kilotons of force last month, but the US Air Force has made no mention of the event.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland, just 43 kilometres north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base on the 25th of July, 2018.

Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen, tweeted about the impact, but America’s Air Force has not reported the event.

Mr. Kristensen argues it’s concerning there was no public warning from the US government about the incident.

“Had it entered at a more perpendicular angle, it would have struck the earth with significantly greater force,” he writes on Business Insider.

Mr Kristensen points to the example of the Chelyabinsk meteor, a 20-metre space rock that exploded in the air over Russia without warning on the 15th of February 2013.

It was the size of a house, brighter than the sun and visible up to 100 kilometres away.

The first half of the article was ridiculously wrong.

The author claimed the meteor “struck earth” 43 kilometers “north” of the air base.

I went back and read the graphics.

The meteor exploded.

43 kilometers ABOVE the air base.

At 54,000 mph.

Hey. I was stationed on Midway Island in ‘75 as USN Seabee . I thought it was paradise. Shark fishing, great diving, made life long friends. I’d love to go back for a visit and some fishing.

Hi.

“Rods From God test.”

Why not? Greenland would be a great place to test them.

You may hit an Eskimo...or an early missile warning site...

NADA, back in the Clinton -Bush-Obama uears, burned up a Mars rocket lander because they fouled up two programs between two contractors by using inches-miles and the Euro metric units used in science papers. So now ALL NASA values are ONLY in metric.

There's be no coverage of the event because it wouldn't fit the global warming narrative.

First week of August is one of the best anual events — saw one split apart with a burst like that while in the Boundry Waters in 93.
