The Sky is Falling

Well, maybe a few pieces here and there...

Initial reports out of Russia indicate that no dinosaurs survived the blast.

Asteroid zips by in a couple of hours.

CNN of course suggests it could be caused by global warming.

It's now moving away from us.

Obviously this hole, in no way, could be made by man.  Reportedly the landing spot of the meteorite.

BREAKING NEWS: Baby found in the middle of the Meteorite crash site, he is miraculously unharmed. Wrapped in what seems to be a red cape.

Meteors bright enough to be described as fireballs aren't actually that uncommon. Back when I was often driving between Fayetteville and Tulsa in the middle of the night I'd see one at least once a month. Always something bizarre on that drive at that time of night, though. I think Siloam Springs is not quite what it seems.

What is uncommon are ones large enough to make it low enough at high enough speed to generate sonic booms and large shock waves like the one in Russia.

Is it the Perseid showers we get every August?  Just about any night during mid-August out east of the lights of Tulsa, there's a spectacular show well into the wee hours of the morning.

Yea that would be the Perseids.

The damage is stunning- and that was just a tiny rock. I'd hate to be around when a larger rock hits. They say the force was like 20 atomic bombs and it exploded 30 miles in the air.

Yep, everything is caused by global warming. I wonder how wildlife in Russia handled that blast, one video showed a dog running thru a yard as if it's hind quarters was on fire after one of the booms. The birds and animals must have been frightened too. As far as I know no one reported a tiny asteroid coming in with the biger asteroid that buzzed our planet. The bottom line is Sooner or latter a big asteroid will hit Earth and we likely won't even see it coming.
