mn90403 987 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Where did the rockets come into this fall? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfinger 43 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think the story about the russian military intercepting this meteorite fall is nothing but pure B.S. A lot of wishful thinking and bravado if you ask me.Another article.http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2013/02/15/meteorite-falls-in-russian-uralsSteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rimshot 181 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 10 ton meteorite injures 500. I never heard ABC mention anything about missiles. And not related to the asteroid that will pass close to earth today.http://cosmiclog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/14/16954270-asteroids-close-shave-ranks-among-earths-biggest-hits-and-misses?liteThey say if you're in a viewing area you can watch it with a pair of binoculars or small telescope.

heybeerman 29 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 500 INJURED!!!!!!!!!These assult meteorites should be outlawed!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfinger 43 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I just saw pictures of the blown out windows on some of those buildings. I wonder how much of that damage was from actual meteorite impacts themselves and how much was just from the shock.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denny 9 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Blake that is funny , That big one going buy today may have a lot of smaller ones traveling with it, so keep your eyes on the sky for the next day or so there could be more of this kind of thing, The meteor site has had a lot of postings the past few months , they seem to be increasing in activity. well maybe http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/ Edited February 15, 2013 by Denny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rimshot 181 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Did you see the door get blown off its hinges? 1 mili second and it was flat on the foundation. I wonder if the impact was actually in the city or out in the woods somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,302 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think the Russian missle was a farce....it exploded on it's own some distance above the ground.....Here's a good read about it.....http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/02/15/russian-meteor-explosion-not-caused-by-asteroid-flyby-nasa-scientist-says/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlakMagnet 412 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 HI Garimpo,good point; thinking a Russian rocket hit that meteorite is just silly.It is just as ridiculous to put up a topic entitled "Russian rockets shoot down meteorite?"without checking the facts out. It simply promotes misinformationand we certainly have enough misinformation floating around already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
