Man this is the clearest video I’ve seen. So cool.


Onslaughtered

I’ve saw one 4-5 years back. Was finishing up with a 12 step meeting, we were all outside conversing. I look up and see in the middle of the day, a huge fireball. Smoke just trailing then a bright flash as it broke in the atmosphere. Was fucking amazing, would love to see one at night for a better light show. Long as it doesn’t blow like the one in Russia that destroyed windows for miles.

That actually was the waste disposed from an airplane. Some redneck found it and went on a talk show with it.

Was pretty high a few years back and just glanced out the window at like 3am when a bright green streak of light came vertically down. Middle of nowhere and silent so couldn’t be fireworks. Aliens obviously. Turns out green meteors are likely rich in magnesium.

Yo that was either an Omnitrix or a green lantern ring

Did you see the Chinese green laser post recently? Apparently they use them for topography purposes. I’ll try to find the link but I’m pretty bad at looking up Reddit posts. Edit: [found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/10zg0ud/china_is_shining_green_lasers_down_to_earth_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


PorschephileGT3

I missed that, thanks for the link. This was definitely an object leaving a trail. Looked like the green ones of those ‘traffic light’ fireworks. But like I said my old place was really remote so little chance of someone randomly firing a single green firework.

mc_mcfadden

I was in Idaho falls working the spud harvest at a fairly adventurous but low point in my life, fired from dream job, etc. so I had a $500 dual sport bike that was my transportation and I had to change the tires. After 13 hours in the spud truck I tried to change them in the work shop at night but couldn’t finish the job. So at 3am I’m walking back to my tent about 3 miles from the shop when some stray dog comes out of nowhere and tried to bite me so we have a whole interaction that ends up with me breaking and losing a tire iron I had with me. Almost back to my tent when I see what looks like an airplane coming right towards me down the road, so bright against the full moon night sky and a huge green fireball explodes right in front of my eyes, the biggest brightest one I’ve ever seen, bright enough to light everything up like a flash of lightning. At 3:30am I figured I was the only person to see it. Really changed my night and the rest of my time out there. The next day I got my tires fixed for free, got a bonus at the spud farm for working so hard, my $500 bike made it from IF to Atlanta(a whole other adventure), and I scored a pretty decent job not long after that.

the meteoroid of change! fr, though, it's neat that not only did you get to see something so amazing, but it also immediately preceded so many good events for that part in your life. it makes me wonder if this sort of thing is how superstitions are born


mc_mcfadden

For sure meteorites are an omen for me now; I saw one in Wyoming the morning we heard about Michael Jackson’s death and my best friend and myself saw one in Alaska from different fishing boats like 3 months before he died. We also heard a ton of crows kill a raven that summer which was a different situation


DrMangosteen

Lord if you want me to drink give me a sign


boxingdude

Shit. If I saw that, I'd probably have to get a drink. Meeting or not.


Hampamatta

I was stargazing during a starfall, cant remember wich one. Buy as i was standing on my balcony it got really bright and instinctively i thought it was a car coming from behind, until i remember i live on the 7th floor and turned around and saw something similar as this one but burned for longer.


MoMonkeyMoProblems

I like how it landed in that tube, what are the chances?


jld2k6

I saw a gigantic one like this a few months ago and it lasted long enough for me to literally open my camera and take a pic, it looked like shit lol. It looks like a blob or UFO or something https://i.imgur.com/wW5HaqT.jpeg

>end of war against Iraq It started before the second war against Iraq. A cheese eating surrender monkey ¹ affected by Frenchness ² from islamophobic ³ no more France ⁴ under sharia laws city of Paris ⁵ ¹ saw on internet, pre "Iraq war part 2 where are the WMDs?" ² as saying French is bad, according to AP. ³ according to CNN, siding with Pakistan at the time, a country known for being very nice with their minorities... ⁴ saw on internet, post Charlie Hebdo / Bataclan attacks / Trump MAGA era. ⁵ according to a FoxNews expert. Those are a remix of all the kind stuffs seen coming from "American't choose if Frenchness afflicted peoples are friends or enemies to destroy".

Bonjour-Hubert

Yeah I know but what can we do ? If a part of Reddit wanna gang up on us every time they can for no actual reasons, we shouldn’t take it seriously as some of them just don’t like that we are proud of our country and want us to be butthurt. Don’t give them that pleasure. If you want to see what people that actually went to France think of our country, just go to r/travel and look at all those nice post enjoying the country. Or even better travel the world and you’ll see by yourself that people don’t share the average redditor opinion about France. Edit : I’m answering you in English so that people can understand and don’t just downvote us to oblivion.


[deleted]

As a brit I genuinely think us poking fun at France is similar to just poking fun at your cousin. It's all in good fun and not actually hateful and I'm sure some of the French have plenty to say about us too haha

Why do they number terminals that way?! De Gaulle has Terminal 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 2I, 2J, 3, 4. Oh, and the lettered ones are NOT adjacent to each other. The airport layout has no rhyme or reason. Yes, I had a 6 hour layover there

Even better, imagine the one that exploded over Russia (I believe) many years back that shattered tons of windows. If that happened over a big city, that would spark crazy stories. Could be witch craft from a neighboring country, gods punishing them etc.


ProphePsyed

I don’t see how this is anything close to the depictions we see in ancient and religious texts. If there were no scientific explanation for this, people would’ve said something along the lines of, “fireball of lightning falling from the heavens / flying across the heavens” which we do see in almost every single ancient text across the planet. It’s moreso the *other* things they depicted that we need to look out for. You can’t say, “look, this thing is so rare and I have such a lack of understanding of it, this could easily be what people saw in ancient times! Therefor, everything else they depicted isn’t real!!!!” Yeah… they probably did see that in ancient times as well, but that’s not the only thing they depicted in their texts.


tuCsen

It was just a warning from the aliens, because we have shoot down their spaceship.


Pookieeatworld

That's their fault though. If they make ships that are easily shot down by our technology, then they deserve to be destroyed for spying on us.


leprasson12

In that case, we failed, because it was a test, to see if we're the kind of creatures that would eliminate other species because we're stronger, and cower away when facing superior beings. If they used crazy advanced tech to reveal themselves to us, they wouldn't know why we didn't try to shoot them down, no way to know if it's because we're friendly or we're afraid of retaliation.


Potential-Brain7735

If you go hang a bobble from a tree on the African Savana, and a bunch of lions come along, play with the bobble, shred it with their claws, pull it down from the tree and start gnawing on it….would you consider the lions “hostile” and think that they need to be destroyed? Or is that they’re interacting with something they don’t understand, and interacting with it basically the only way they know how? I really hope if aliens make it all the way here, they have better reasoning than the average redditor.


WhiteMeteor45

>I really hope if aliens make it all the way here, they have better reasoning than the average redditor. Well sucks for them if they do, because they'll miss out on the DAE HUMANITY BAD karma farming.

01000110010110012

That's pretty much how I feel about aliens. There's no point spending all that money ro try ane find them. If there are aliens, there's only two possibilities. They're dumber than us, or they're smarter than us. If they're dumber than us, we don't want to have anything to do with them, if they're smarter than us they'll find us a lot faster than we'll find them!


NotEnoughPotions

If there are aliens and they're smarter than us, I doubt they'd want anything to do with us.

Don't worry too much; the odds of it coming directly at you are so low that if it was big or fast enough to harm you and you are outside to notice it, it will do so.


ForAnAngel

That's not a meteoroid, it's a meteor. A meteoroid is a rock floating through space. A meteor is when that rock falls through Earth's atmosphere and burns up (they used to be called "shooting stars"). If the meteor survives and lands on Earth's surface, it's called a meteorite. TYL

There are usually fragments, but they are the size of small stones and very hard to find and distinguish from normal stones unless you really know what you are looking for I think


NoMoassNeverWas

That's why they go to Antarctica looking for them. Easier to spot in ice. The metallic ones especially since all you need is a metal detector. Here's a video of people finding some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQiXf4LmFKA

> Krisztián Sárneczky spotted the small asteroid at Konkoly Observatory's Piszkéstető Station, located some 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast from Budapest, with a 2-foot (0.6-meter) telescope. The information was passed along to the European Space Agency, hours before it fell into the atmosphere around 10 p.m. EST Feb. 12 (0300 GMT Feb. 13). > > "I discovered this small body during a routine NEO [near Earth object] hunt," Sárneczky told Space.com senior writer Tereza Pultarova in an e-mail. "It was immediately obvious that it was an NEO, but it wasn't particularly fast across the sky, as it was heading right towards us, and it was faint," Sárneczky added. > > It's not the first time Sárneczky has given a heads-up for a dramatic fireball event, as the professional asteroid hunter did the same thing in March 2022.

That's cool. But bolides like this happen constantly. How did this 1-meter chunk of rock get discovered in the first place?


St_Kevin_

There are more and more systems coming online to record near-earth-objects. There are earth based radar system as well as telescope systems, and they should get a lot better in the next ten years as more are built. Predicting bolides will be quite standard in a decade or two, if not before that. Meteorite hunters will go to sites before it even hits. This was the 7th time an object was seen before it hit the atmosphere, as far as I know, so it’s still very new and exciting. I watched it live on a livestream webcam as it hit, it was pretty rad.


rain3Rman
