Satellite, Meteor, or UFO?

[Deep Dish]

Over the skies of Texas, during broad daylight, were sonic booms and a hurling fireball of something. I have a reliable source of information it cannot be debris from the two collided satellites (or now the two collided nuclear submarines)(pardon my dry sense of humor), but the timing couldn't be more coincidental. It was broad daylight and meteors are almost always the bump which goes on at night. Which leaves... UFOs!

Is this proof alien reptilians have arrived from the Andromeda galaxy, to join the Illumnati and Freemasons, and for their technology to be reverse engineered by Microsoft?

Microsoft is just a front for this alien technology. The`re slowly introducing this tech so that in the future we will produce it for them and earth will be a source of cheap labour for the Inter-Galactic Reptilian Empire.

Japan has been hit the hardest by this unfortunately.

But if the influx of cheap outsourced labour to earth happens, it might destabilize the Inter-Galactic Reptilian Empire Economy. The Reptilians will no doubt face a credit crisis the likes of which they have never seen before.

Discuss.

You're not gonna bump the conspiracy theory thread?

I dont think meteors have sonic booms. Or maybe it was a big one. What makes you think they only hit us at night? Night is just the only time you can normally see them.

Actually, now that I think about it, it was clearly a fire breathing dragon.

All joking aside, according to expert astronomer Dr. Phil Plaitt, it was probably a meteor. The fascinating thing is the timing of the event, merely one week after two satellites collided, but it's impossible to have been satellite debris—it was traveling way too fast.

This thread is about astronomy and how people may falsely speculate it was an UFO sighting. Right now the news media is reporting a fire and debris field, including a metal pipe—things which will prove totally unrelated but complete the hallmark appearance of an UFO sighting. The fire will prove a coincidence, since meteors rarely are hot enough to spark a fire—meteors quickly decelerate and spend enough time in cold air to cool off—and the debris is from something terrestrial. The meteor is estimated to be the size of a pickup truck—enough to create a boom, and in 2006 a similiar sonic booming meteor flew over New Zealand.

What makes you think they only hit us at night?

I was kidding.

Dismissing my fire breathing dragon theory already?

I could see a meatball slung from the flying spaghetti monster.

Here's a video of the event:

Now THAT is awesome.

Meteors and other space junk enter the atmosphere all the time. What's unusual is that this was caught on tape and aired.

It came from Uranus!

I agree small meteors and space junk enter the atmosphere on a regular basis, although it's very rare for meteors to be so large. According to the Associated Press, approximately ten meteors of that magnitude strike the earth every year. You also need to remember that a meteor only the size of a basketball can deliver a punch, so it's very newsworthy when it's the size of a pickup truck. If the meteor was the size of a house, we'd be talking about a mile wide crater hundreds of feet deep.

The event spurred hundreds of panicked phone calls to 9-1-1 and local authorities launched a helicopter to look for a crashed airplane—thinking that was the fireball. It was only afterwards the video popped up.

FOOLISH MORTALS!! Reveling in your pitiable self-righteous "technologies"! Have you become so blind as not to see the very image of mighty Odin himself when he alights upon your sky in his most immolating glory? Fear mortal wyrms, for soon the battle of Ragnarok will consume your world and Odin's flaming heralds will be the least of your concerns.

It's obviously God reigning fire and brimstone on Texas after embarrassing Christianity for the last 8 years.

Was John Travolta the original prophet?
