Re: meteorite strike?

Have not seen any other new reports of this as of yet. It seems by description to have been quite the blast.

Does this mean we will need to prepare the top secret titanium shuttle as in Armegedon with a couple of oil drilling rig crew man with nukes to blow any others that are much larger still yet to come...

No, they've just become multi-media addicted...

As long as there is no footage, there will be virtually no newscoverage about the event.

*I'd say yes, because of multi-media addiction.

Good little robots, all in a row.    Too many willingly surrendered brains these days.

Re: meteorite strike?

well, the news has spread to this website, but, it is still not confirmed; although, the article did give a new detail about a mountainside getting hit; probably, it's just taking time to get out in the wilderness to see the extent of what happened. This news item will surelly spread bigger and bigger as the news spreads from word of mouth.

Re: meteorite strike?

Here's video of a smaller strike on the Moon, released yesterday.

Are you sure we don't need Harry Stamper and his roughnecks?

Re: meteorite strike?

Well maybe not a batch of roughnecks but possibly Supercomputer takes on cosmic threat; Simulation shows that many small blasts work better than one big one
Now then again it depends on composition and size. For it could be no more than like those found by NASA Mars Rover Spirit Finds Possible Meteorite in Columbia Hills

Earth has had some pretty big strikes in the past Antarctic crater linked to ancient die-off; Scientists say impact might have caused extinction 250 million years ago as you can see quite devistating.

Interesting. Hopefully they can refine this technique to give a location for the impact to confirm the strike.
