Underrated comment
Go ahead and ad asteroid into that comment
FYI: METEOROID - When traveling through space. METEOR - When glowing in our atmosphere. METEORITE - When laying on the surface of a planet.
Yes, and it also has to be mentioned that the size of the remaining object (or it's fragments) that eventually smashes into the surface is generally only just a very small fraction of what existed when it just starts entering the atmosphere. And that small remaining part is the meteorite indeed - in most cases with smaller impacting objects there is no meteorite at all. And very important here is not just size matters, but also the angle of attack: a shallow angle comes with a much longer path through the atmosphere than a steep one. And not to mention the composition of the object: is it very strong and dense or is it loose and framenting easilly.
I kind of "spaced" out at the beginning when he said comet.
@@davein310 I noticed it too. :P
These are the sort of mistakes someone who is making videos on a subject they have no export knowledge on would make. Not a bad effort but needs a bit more work to get everything correct.
Huh. Is this where Metroid comes from as a name? I wonder.
Chelyabinsk was INCREDIBLE. I'm surprised you didn't include one of the videos which show the shockwave hitting and how loud the explosion was. It was deafening and absolutely terrifying.
I remember seeing a couple videos of the shockwave and all the damage that happened, and how incredibly fast too. Got me thinking... The Dinosaurs didn't suffer at least, so if we get the big one, we won't either.
@@fadetoblond You shouldn't believe everything scientists say. Especially carbon dating. They tested carbon dating on rocks, trees, and bones that were only a couple decades old and it proved how false and inaccurate carbon dating actually is. Scientists make up shit because they are scared of stuff they can't explain.
I don't understand how something that is made of just rock & ice, can explode with the force of a nuclear bomb?
The meteorite I saw didn’t make a sound at all
@@gregoryhagen8801 Due to its incredible speed. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. Something coming in at 50,000-100,000 has an incredible amount of kinetic energy. If if impacts the ground or even explodes, a tremendous amount of energy is released. Most meteors are iron and or nickel. Many others are stony, probably very few have ice as component..
Chelyabinsk is 7th largest city not second, - second largest is St Petersburg
Nice flag mate
I thought that didn’t sound right
I was riding with friend late one night and a meteor streaked across the sky and lit everything up as brightly as a lightening strike does, but it lasted 3 or 4 seconds. It started sort of greenish then quickly went blue white and VERY bright all at once. We all agreed that it was the craziest thing we'd ever seen in the sky.
Aliens 🛸an UAPs am I a joke to you.
omg I'm still amazed at what I seen myself, in Neveda going north from Vegas, and it was exactly how you said.... Till this day I keep telling my family I'm not sure what it was. Is 3am, it was very dark, then a ball of light coming from the left north side of the highway, then sudden a lightening that light up the whole dessert and mountains around, seem like it was daylight for like 3 or 5 seconds, it did it 5 times. When it happened the third time it was right on top of me. It was crazy how bright it was every time, I had no sight, then it was dark and had to focus my vision again. But that third one got me really good smh had to practically stop driving because I could not see. All this time I was thinking UFOs haha but now I realized yup a Meteor. A very close one I guess. lol
Thanks it turn in to dust
I just happened to be looking up at the right part of the sky at the right time to see the Peekskill meteorite (October 9th, 1992). Would love to see something like that again, especially as bright and dramatic as as some of the sightings in this thread.
I saw one just like you described. Blue green and white. Lit up entire sky.
The velocity of those things is really something to see. I mean, we've all seen jets going maybe 500 mph +/- slowly crossing the vast sky. Then, when you see a meteor that's much farther away go streaking across the sky like that you can really get an idea of what that kind of speed looks like. It's moving way, way faster than anything else you're ever likely to see in your lifetime. Luckily, it's that speed and our atmosphere that saves Earth from catastrophic damage.
An F/A-18 fighter jet goes just over 1900km/h
The speed is incredible
@Derrick Bridges lol thats pretty brave to say thats exactly how fast all of them fly 🤣🤣🤣
@@Kado1609 A piece of a comet should be around escape velocity from the sun at this distance, which should be around 40% faster (actually, a factor of the square root of two) than the speed of the earth on its course around the sun (because they come from the outer edges of the solar system, where their potential energy/speed is so small as to make no significant difference). The speed of the earth around the sun is around 67000 mph, so a piece of a comet should be going at around 95000 mph. So the meteor is somewhere between the difference and the sum of the two speeds, depending on the exact angles. The most likely case seems to be approximately right angles, which comes out to 116000 mph. If they're pieces oof asteroids (and thus come from not quite so far away), they'll be slower, but likely still faster than 60000 mph. TL;DR: these things can move damn fast. No wonder they get hot enough to explode. They'll probably spend less than 10 seconds going through the atmosphere.
I am sure meteor is pouris heat makes it burn up.....
When I was young (late 70s, early 80s), I had a paper route. On weekends I had to start it at about 4am. Oddly enough, I saw plenty of meteors, including one that crossed half of the sky. At that age, it scared the life out of me. Since then, I have had night time jobs like delivering pizza, and have seen numerous larger-sized meteors including one that had pieces breaking off, and left a nice trail.
Where did you live?
In 1978, I lived in Dominican Republic's Capital city, I was 10 years old at the time, I was playing with friends on a gas station parking lot at about 8:00 PM when suddenly the sky turn bright and in a split second I saw a giant fireball crossing the horizon over the Caribbean sea, It was so bright it was like 2:00 PM in the afternoon even thought it was night time.

0:23 Chelyabinsk is hardly the second largest city in Russia. It’s #7. St. Petersburg is #2, behind Moscow.
I thought that sounded fishy! lol
WHA??????????????😑😑😑😑
4m 27s: "... was about 490 Joules, which equals 9.5 kilotons of TNT." - You've dropped a dozen orders of magnitude in that conversion. And 490J for this sort of event is ridiculously tiny. That's about the energy released by a 10 kg stone dropped from a height of 5m. Or a bowling ball (16 lb ≈ 7.3 kg) from a height of 7m. So let's go with the TNT figure. A yield of 9.5 kT of TNT is more like 490 TJ (terajoules) - that's 490,000,000,000,000 Joules! That sounds more like it. Fred
Yeah this guy's seems to have no idea what he is talking about
I thought that was wrong. I think I have power strips that block bigger electrical surges than that.
yeah I was thinking, a packet of potato chips contains 500kj of energy lol
This guy is quite inaccurate with the facts. He also claimed Chelyabinsk being a second largest city of Russia, when it’s actually a seventh!
@@Max13Mad Yeah, that tripped a little alarm in my head too. Like, wait - what about Petrograd, Volgograd, and maybe Novosibirsk & a few others? But I got too distracted by the enormous misquote of energy conversion, and lost interest in looking up the size rankings of Russian cities. Thanks for checking that! Fred
I’ve witnessed the same back in the 90’s in Tunisia .. unfortunately I didn’t have a camera to record it … but until today I still remember the the brightness and even the sound
what does it sound like, can you explain it in words
@@solidturtle6910 crackle,
@@solidturtle6910 exact same sound as a sparkling candles .. basically.. burning sounds
I seen something on fire 🔥 coming from the heavens as well 🙌😩😌
4:23 Sorry if someone commented on this before, I don't see it. I know most people don't care about joules or kilotons, but if you're going to quote them, maybe make sure they're accurate. The explosive force of TNT was around 9.5 kilotons, which is nearly 40 trillion (US) joules, not 490 joules. You're off by 9 orders of magnitude.
I notice that. I have an airsoft pistol that says 0,9 joules. And i was like "how can this meteor be like around only 500x forces of this little plastic bbs?" and felt something was wrong about that information.
“ I will be your Sun for a few moments, please wait. ” the meteor said.
the thing that actually scares me a little is that these videos highlight the 'warning' we'll get more than likely if a 'big one' hits us. We won't know it until we see lights in the sky and then it's over. These videos are chilling lol.
Very scary. But I would rather go like that then to panic and suffer from something else. I wouldn't know what hit me. Perfect for me lol
Exactly
There’s people who monitor space, and metors so we’d get a warning
@@yunsanship1159 we ...hope...we would get a warning.
@@yunsanship1159 Unfortunately most telescopes are unable to detect most objects 150 meters in diameter or less. 150 meter wide object would carry about 288 megatons of explosive energy, or about 5 and half times the energy of the tsar bomba explosion at 50 megatons. Essentially enough energy to completely destroy an entire major city and many square miles of surrounding areas outside of that city.
We had one explode over my town in Scotland a few years ago. I heard a loud bang and thought I’d just heard a bad car crash, as I live not far from a busy dual carriageway. It was only when my parents called me and mentioned they heard a really loud bang that I realised it had to have been something else causing it, as they live 5 miles away from me. It was on the news the next day that a meteor had broken up over my town.
Your name is correct, and I wish you well brother! I'm an amateur astronomer, so I've been out a lot at night obviously. But last year, me and me da were outside and to the south I saw a meteor starting it's streak, got excited, watched it continue to get brighter and actually punch through a cloud layer at that same moment I'm yelling "Oh No, OHH NO OH THAT'S---" "Shaddup girl it's FINE." he says. Later looked up the database and it was seen from five different states (we're in America now) and literally disintegrated into the river south of us. We were about 120km from that thing. Never did hear a bang here, so you literally dodged an astronomical bullet mate. Glad you're all still here. Worries me that I'm gonna be looking up some night and just have to watch the thing

On September 8th, 1994 (My father’s 70th birthday) I and some friends were driving home to Midland, Texas from Dallas. We drove through the night and around 2 am a brilliant fireball meteor streaked across the sky in front of us. It lit up the dark night with vivid blues and reds and yellows and purples and whites. It was breathtakingly beautiful and we were astonished at it’s massive size. I never heard an explosion or felt a shock wave, surprisingly.
In the late summer of 1988, my friends and I witnessed one over Odessa, Tx. around 3am. We were setting out on a dirt road just south of town. No moon light, so when it entered the atmosphere, the flash was as bright as sunlight. We all jumped up and watched it change colors and then go out. There were no reports locally, but one friends sister called from NY the next day and asked about it. They had reported about up there.
@Oddnezz The one in Russia produced an enormous shockwave which shattered windows, shook buildings and injured many people. The one we saw was on that massive scale.
Amazing I would think this almost happens everyday somewhere on this planet! Just not cought on tape.❤️ in 2013 I was at my step grandmother funeral when that one hit Russia.
Well, mine doesn't really compare well to yours, but I was watching a meteor shower with my dad couple of years ago. We were at our countryside house, decided to go there specifically for the meteor shower. We were outside at 3 AM taking a stroll down the road. It's a peaceful small village, so we were safe. Nothing out of the ordinary happens for a while. You see a shooting star every minute or two, sometimes they go in waves, you see a satellite here and there, but that's it. I was getting tired, and at one point I'm looking at the ground, yawning. All of a sudden, the ground lights up, I see everything bright as day, and I hear this loud burning sound. I look up, only to see a bright ball of light scorching through the skies. Only lasted 3 or 4 seconds though. Either it burned out or exited the atmosphere just as it entered. It left a trail that stuck around for quite some time. Seconds after it passed, I could smell something that reminded me of gun powder. Probably Sulphur. I immediately thought "Wow, so this is what a meteor from deep space smells like." I teared up with chills all over my body.
@@ragingsaviorkami9862 Once in the atmosphere they never exit. Gravity makes sure of that. It burned up completely like most of them, thankfully. At 14 kms/sec there is so much atmospheric friction they burn up in seconds but by then they are so close to the surface of the planet they can not escape gravity. Hurray for our atmosphere! And the oxygen bit is good too since I've kind of grown fond of breathing.
Absolutely jaw dropping to see this happen. I remember I was driving to work at like 6 in the morning around 2 years ago and it was still pitch black outside being that early. And I just stopped at a stop sign and saw a very bright green ball of flame falling South a few miles in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I lost sight of it. I don't know if disintegrated, flew through clouds or what but I can't remember what happened to it.
I was walking my dog late a night once, and heard a falling star, whipped my head around and caught the end of its flight. which also, was a green fireball
It was probably more than a few miles away. It's very hard to tell. Look at the ones that were seen over numerous states.
As a meteorologist, I can testify this comment is accurate
But none of these meteors was a comet as this commentator stated right at the beginning.
Phenomenal! I think we'll see more wonders and more often😲

It was either 1997 or 1998 (think 1998), we had a HUGE meteor storm - as in, the sky in the Chesapeake Bay area was lit up for many hours from the fireballs and smaller meteorites. IIRC, we passed through the tail of a comet. I cannot find footage from that event, though. Does anyone have a link to such footage or is this just something that'll have to remain a vague memory?
That sounds incredible! Hopefully you find someone that was also a witness to that.

@@adnan_honest_jihadist5775 I don't want to be disrespectful, but meteor showers been happening since the beginning of times, and I mean MILLIONS years before any human kind walk in this Earth, and will be still happening many times a year because our planet pass through comets dust trails, and other meteor can strike from deep space too. Why do you think our Moon is full of scars?
Amazing captures! I’m really curious about something I’ve been watching over Ontario Canada since I awoke this morn at around 6am. It’s now 11am and I’m still watching whatever it is. So far I’ve seen around a dozen objects with distinctive trails behind them which seem to dissipate, assuming it’s when they hit our atmosphere. No fireballs, I actually can only see the trails travelling through the sky. Is it possibly a meteor shower? Seems the only logical explanation although I didn’t think you could see those during the day!
Totally saw the Idaho one in person. That was epic.
The scariest thing would be seeing a fireball getting bigger and bigger and not seeing a streak. Coming straight at you... 😯
Best thing to do in that situation is to DUCK !
If it’s on the ground it’s most likely a nuke.
If it hits the Earth then it is called a METEORITE
Chelyabinsk is not the second largest city in Russia...or the third largest....or the eighth largest...
Least that meteor didn't get as low as the Tunguska event one did, Tunguska's airburst was from somewhere between 5-10 km above the ground. Chelyabinsk was 35-40km
Yeah, that claim in the video sent me straight to Ecosia to verify. Makes no sense that the second largest city in Russia would be one I've never heard of. Chelyabinsk is the 7th largest city in Russia. Population of 1.25 million or so.
I was fortunate enough to see a pretty decent sized meteor sometime around 1978. At the time, I lived in an apartment in Concord, CA, a suburb in the San Francisco East Bay, about 40+ miles East of S.F. It was night, and I was sitting on a couch in a second story apartment. I was alone at the time. The couch faced a big picture window. All of a sudden, I saw this bright ball of light. At first I thought it was an airplane, which scared me, cuz it appeared to be coming right at Concord. It was only there about a nano second when it suddenly got bigger and a tail appeared. Then I knew what it was. It looked very similar to what the cop caught on his camera in your Number 1 video. As it sped downward, the buildings across the way obscured my view. The whole incident happened within a matter of seconds. The next day it was reported that the meteor broke up somewhere over Yosemite, and that was the last I heard about it. It was so cool to have seen one that big. But also very frustrating, since I was alone and after asking around got the next few days, no one else I knew saw it. It’s definitely something that is better as a shared experience!

I've seen plenty of meteors on my late evening and early morning drives as a truck driver. I know other drivers on the road at the time must have witnessed the same amazing meteor. Well the best thing is I caught them on my dash cam 😉
1986 (if memory serves) in Kerrville TX I was taking a Driving Course to get my learners permit. One evening while driving with our instructor 4 of us were in the car when a meteor, traveling at a low angle, brightened the area. Being that I was driving, I just stayed with my view forward as night turned to day then back to night again. One of the other students in the back seat said he saw a meteor explode overhead. Next day it was all over the local News, from San Antonio TX, and in the News Paper. Seems that a small plane was flying when the meteor zipped past his plane, exploding miles away in the rough direction he was flying.
Backseat driver!!...jk...cool they all different.
I remember almost 6 years ago I saw a meteor in the sky, it was flying for about 8 seconds before I saw it break into little fiery pieces and disappear. I’ve never seen anything like it ever since
I wanted to see more about the spots where each one hit. I saw a meteor one night in the distance, but it happened so fast, I was thinking Did I see a star move? or did I see something in our atmosphere? Later I realized it must have been a meteor burning up as it fell through the air.
Well, for the Chelyabinsk meteorite, at least look it up in Wikipedia: "Chelyabinsk meteor". There's a stewnfield map that shows where the pieces landed.

the only time ive ever seen night turn into day close to what a meteor does was when I was in a tornado in 1988. The lightning was so constant it was like a strobelight and you could see outside as clear as daylight. This was at 1AM, it was wild.
I've witnessed lightning like that too. I live in the Northeastern US close to the Canadian border (45 min. drive) . It was early Summer and a large band of severe thunderstorms were tracking along a powerful frontal boundary between a high pressure system ( warm yet very dry ) and a mass of very warm and oppressively humid air. I was far enough away that I could see the lightning as "sheets " of strobing light that were constant enough to actually allow me to see almost clear as day . I wound up going on a walk around 11 pm at night and could see clearly enough to walk safely as the near constant lightning made objects cast shadows and gave plenty of light .
I remember quite some time ago (perhaps mid-90's) seeing an asteroid (assuming) streak across Toronto heading approximately from North to South. It was quick and headed across Lake Ontario towards the United States. I heard some reports that it was seen by many people; however, I didn't hear anything about damage or a landing point. Looked on Google but couldn't find any mentions of it. Apparently there was something a couple of months ago though. Didn't see that one.
Can be aliens
It may be the same one l saw. It was in the mid nineties l was driving north on Bathurst St. in Richmond Hill. It was in the afternoon. I looked up and saw it heading southward. It was light blue then flashed a bright white as it passed overhead.

@chu Harry I looked for the smoke on the water but didn't see any as I was too far from the lake. TeeHee
Small meteors are very common - even ones that become a discernable fireball in the sky. Most have the size of sand grains or small rocks. That may be why it wasn't reported on media. And as for damages, most meteors actually burn up in the atmosphere and fall down as dust or small pieces - nothing spectacular. Large ones may make it to the ground and cause massive damage - even explosions. Some other large ones like the Chelyabinsk meteor explode in the atmosphere on their way down. That air blast tends to be spectacular and attract media attention.
saw one a few years ago early in the morning just before sunrise. was chilling with a few friends and when it happened it lit up the sky like if it was day out for a few seconds.
I’ve seen one before when I lived in California at my grandmas it was huge and a very bright lime green color! It was amazing!!!!😍💗
In the late 70s at about 2am I witnessed a large fireball coming almost directly at me at a very low angle it appeared to be about a mile or two away and moving very slowly, it was mostly orange but at the front it was green. We looked for it the next day but could not find a trace but it appeared to have landed at the polo grounds in thermal near palm springs.
let me guess, no impact felt or heard.
I seen one in 2009 December. It was more incredible than any of these videos i can find online. Bigger closer brighter and last longer. I am still so disappointed that me and my 3 friends i was with didn't have our phones or cameras out to record it. But it was amazing and so beautiful. Seen it from Indiana.
Those sighting and videos look so cool. Amazing really. Would be easy to think you was seeing a UFO or something. Lucky the meteor landed in mountains and not in the city. I guess we are all lucky it doesnt happy more often with bad things happening because of it. Was fun and informative to watch. Great video
None of these hit the ground, all burned up in the atmosphere, despite what the narrator says.
Yea, I bet that, that is what TeRex thought. That big, dumb fossils.

Hi
2:40 That's a weird way to say 10 metres
Fun Fact: the Chelyabinsk meteorite strike actually happened on the 105th anniversary of the Tunguska blast of 1908. Only difference was that this more recent meteorite actually reached the surface; the Tunguska meteorite by stark contrast, which by the way was much larger, exploded in mid-air - probably from sublimation due to friction with our atmosphere at high speed that led to the solid mass being instantly vaporized from the inside out. It most likely was a comet fragment, which would account for it exploding outward if its interior was made of ice that went from solid to gas during the sublimation. As a result, the mineral compounds were reduced largely to gas and scattered over vast acreage, even embedded in the rock and trees pulverized by the resulting shockwave - some jewelry has actually been made from this compressed imprinted space-terrestrial mix.
Recently my father and I saw a meteor while headed out at night, it was absolutely impressive though, kind of disappointing how fast it was and didn't get it recorded. Still extraordinarily cool though.

I saw something similar to the one in idaho back when I was a kid. It was during a meteor shower party, and the other kids and I were starting to get bored so we went on a walk down the street. A massive piece of what I assume was space junk created a massive green light in the sky that illuminated a cloud as it passed through.

Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
When these happen at night, I always really like how they can be bright enough to momentarily turn the sky blue for viewers who are close enough.

Very rarely... But honestly you don't want them big enough to hit....
Back in the sixties my two neighbor friends were out side in their yard just after sun down . When a fire ball went streaking across the western horizon from south to north . I'll never forget it ! I can see it now as I write this ! We watched it brake apart way north . Really neat to see !
I once saw a meteor that went from one horizon to the opposite one. That sucker was HUGE and left one HELL of a trail behind it. I’ve seen dozens of little ones,but nothing like THAT ONE! ☄️
BRO i've seen one too! We were a group of 6 people I think, so they can say the same. I Don't remember when, it was around 2018 or so, we were specially looking at it. We were in a small town airport, that doesn't work at night, laid down in camping mattresses, specially looking in the sky for the annual meteor shower. We've seen like 40 strikes, but mostly small, but then THIS! This bright orange star came from on end o other in the horizon, it lasted almost 10 seconds and crossed the entire sky and everybody saw it. It was amazing! Massive trail. I think they call them earthgrazers, that is when a meteor pass through the atmosphere and leaves to space again
I used to sit in my hot tub (uk) and sit there for a couple of hours just looking up with a glass of red. I’d often see meteors. We usually see a strike across the sky but I remember also seeing them coming directly at me, look completely different.
Me, seeing that meteor I saw when I was in HS: "Damn Saiyans!!!"

The fact that random space rocks can just fall out of the sky and light up as bright as the sun kinda makes life feel like a simulation 😂
Just wondering if anyone knows; has there been a reconnaissance efforts made for parts of the Chelyabinsk Meteor which was purported to fall in the Ural Mountains, and if so, has there been any recoveries? Thanks and Cheers!
That would be fun as heck to hunt!
@@juneyshu6197 wouldn't it though? ....there are a few videos that claim they found "a large piece".... but that piece was only a little bigger than a meter in diameter. One would think if that thing was the size of a five story building then larger pieces must remain to be discovered!
@@jarmyvicious it would depend a lot on the type of meteor. the iron content as opposed to stony chondrite types...
@@jarmyvicious There are 2 types of ways these objects get destroyed: 1 An Air Burster = A massive amount of pressure is built up and explodes violently between 6,000 to 2,000 feet from the ground with the explosive concussion of a Mini-Nuke, or Full Nuke. Pieces of it would spread for miles around no bigger than the size of a softball. 2. Impactor = Just as above, but this type actually hits the ground, & makes a large crater. These can be pretty destructive. Impact Concussion Ring, followed by a Fire or Flame Concussion Ring, & displaced Soil Ejecta, & pieces of it would spread Up, Out, & back Down for miles around no bigger than the size of a Golf ball.
Winners of winter olympic medals in Russian games had pieces of meteor in there medals.
" it's not the sun, it's not a plane and it's certainly not russian superman " 💀
4:24 How sweet, 490 Joules. That must have been a really small meteor. Amazing how scientists even recorded the event!
Why are you so concerned about that? Did you not realize that your .45 caliber handgun puts out more muzzle energy than 9.5 kilotonnes of TNT? I've never felt more manly in my LIFE! Do you realize how manly this makes us gun owners?
Came here to say something similar. I hate it when facts are stated wrong. 490 Joules is like a 60W incandescent bulb burning for 8 seconds. 490 Kilojoules would cost you about $0.02 in electricity. They must have meant megajoules. Edit: No, must be much higher. He said small nuke. Some googling tells me that would be on the order of 10,000 gigajoules.
So I take it that most of them didn't do any real damage. They just made a very loud boom and broke apart....
Actually, I don't think there is a record of anyone dying by meteorite. There was one close call where on came through the roof of a house and grazed a woman; she had a foot-long graze/burn mark on the hip. Chelyabinsk came pretty close; one alert teacher pulled her 4th-grade class back away from the windows just before they all shattered inward.
I was at a star party that was being hosted during a meteor shower, and one of the meteors seemed like it was a lot bigger than the rest and left a streak of smoke in the sky. It certainly wasn't anything compared to the examples shown in this video, but it was still quite the sight.
i saw another an hour ago. u saw the flames and smoke from miles away.
It was a bottle rocket that you saw.
@7:31 if you listen really really closely? You can hear her jokingly say “GODZILLA!” 😂
My son saw a meteor on his way home from work. The thought at first it was someone setting off fireworks, then it got green and brighter. People in several states saw it. I'd love to see one, he thought it was great!
I was lucky enough to see one that was similar in length and brightness to the second example of this video. it was spring of 2016 in Se. Massachusetts it lasted incredibly long and was so bright that I could see the outline of the bones in my arm. If anyone has ever been near to a large powerline arc (but sustained) they will have an idea of how bright the world can become in reference
Luckilly that these things last not much longer, since such hot bright light comes with a lot of very short wavelength radiation in your eyes and on your skin, such as a lot of UV.
4:26 Uhm, 490 joules isn't even 1 Calorie.
One calorie is about 4.18 joules (as most people you mean kilocalorie when you say calorie). But yes, 490 joules is not very much 🙂
@@nkronert I used Calorie, with a capital C, to indicate the large calorie, or kilocalorie: the type of Calorie most people are familiar with from nutrition labels.
I have a feeling that the second one had a bit more energy than 490 Joules, possibly megajoules.
I wish someone recorded meteor impact explosion that would be cool.
it's 2am in ohio 10/15/22 and I was just outside with my dog and seen something comparable to 6:15 . I was actually just admiring the orion constellation and it fell straight between beetleguese and Rigel. Such a spectacular sight to see.
It always has to be Ohio
Normal ohio midnights 😂
4:23 490 J is no where near the energy of a small nuclear blast
It was years ago during one of the normal meteor showers we get yearly, but there was one super bright one the lit the entire sky up like the sun. No boom or anything, just really bright. It seemed about as bright as #3
Since everybody is sharing their meteor stories, I'll share mine too. I saw a really spectator meteor fly over the ocean once, when me, my mum and my sister were walking along a beach at night. It flew from one side of the beach to the other, and it broke off into little orange lights. It lasted a good 4 seconds, which was the longest ive ever seen one! Man i wish i recorded it
It isn't until #2 that we hear someone screaming. The others must have had their sound off. I'd be screaming, that's for sure.
I’d give anything to see this come into our atmosphere and hit the earth. Later I’d go see the crater. It’s just amazing these pieces could’ve been traveling through space for millions of years. I think they are pieces of an exploded star which would’ve burned out millions of years ago just like all the stars that we see in the sky right now. I am not sure about this information but it’s just conjecture
If a comet exploded above Earth, we would be in an extinction level event.
4:29 I think 490 joules may be off by a couple orders of magnitude
7:15 ok wtf was going on here
I think they are playing a handheld Yoshi game.
Chelabinsk is not the second largest city in Russia. It's actually the 7th
9th
"me vibing" "Meteor: 🙂Hey can i vibe with you." "Fu-"
This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Saw a meteor fly over low in the early hours of a sunday morning when I was driving home from a night out. it was a bit of a disappointment really, looked like a cheap special effect from a 1950s Flash Gordon episode, just a big rock with flames a bit like what you see a 5:05 in this video. didn't see any impact though, if it hit it was over the horizon somewhere.
There are some very suspicious things about the star field shown from 9:43 to 9:57. First, the distribution of brightnesses of the stars shown is flat. That is, the stars in the field are all of pretty much the same brightness. I see no really bright stars. A real star field shows stars with a dynamic range of at least 100 (magnitude 0 to magnitude 5). The density of stars in this star field suggests that the limiting magnitude of the camera is at least 7 -- but the brightest stars here look to be about fourth magnitude relative to the faintest stars. Another suspicious thing is the dust lane in the center of the Milky Way continues all the way up through the entire range shown, and the Milky Way is of fairly constant density. The real Milky Way is brightest around Sagittarius and dims on either side. Worse, it doesn't rotate along with the stars! Even though it moves a lot, it's still pretty much vertical through the entire sequence, even though the stars are all rotating around a celestial pole. I don't recognize any constellations anywhere in the star field, and there are a lot of suspicious asterisms (collections of stars close together, or in lines or curves.) But the absolute killer is that the stars are descending, yet we're approaching dawn, as shown by the rising red zone at the bottom. If the stars are moving down, so is the sun! What caught my attention was the semicircular cloud appearing left of center at 9:52 and spreading rightward. It looks rather like the trail left by really bright fireballs, but those trails are linear, not circular. I doubt that it's fake, but whatever it is, it's not something I've ever seen in over 50 years of watching the sky.
Hmm.. seems a rock flying at some incredible speed( no drag in vacuum) would let a little planet’s gravity just pull it in, seems they all come in horizontal, seems to me an object would skip right over the resistance of an atmosphere, like a rock skips across water. If one of these was headed straight at us, it would come straight down
@Chris Crawford It all looks perfectly normal. The milky way moves exactly with the stars. I don´t know what you are seeing , maybe your big hat is on too tight.
@@starzanhorse4758 Meteors impact the earth at all possible angles. They don't 'all come in horizontal'. The ones coming in at shallow angles are visible longer and therefore more likely to be caught in videos.
@@redwarf8118 Yes, the Milky Way is spatially tied to the stars. However, if you have ever actually watched the sky over the course of the night, you'd know that the Milky Way appears to rotate relative to the horizon over the course of the night. This is what bothered me. In any event, the real giveaway that this is fraudulent is the combination of descending stars and increasing twilight.
What the hell is that at 9:53?
7:18 love how excited they are. Wonder if the dinosaurs had the same reaction when they saw one falling to earth 😂😂😂
Even I myself saw somethings like this couple of times over my house. Last time was in 2015 around 8 pm and yes it lighted up the whole sky in green.
There's one meteor in this video that the narrator doesn't mention. In the time-lapse of the night sky a little after 9:52 in the top left center of the image, you can see a little wisp of bright cloud appear and blow away. That was a meteor's trail blowing away in the high-altitude wind. It was probably too small or too slow to make a bright light. The fast streaks are not a meteor shower, but airliners flying over.
Personally, I think it is a camera artifact.
I seen 3 meteors over my city in 2019 wish I would've filmed all three of them 😢
Leaving to the store last night saw a small meteor burn bright blue for a few seconds.... It was beautiful and the third I've seen in the last two months. 👍
I don’t know if I happen to be in Nebraska during an irregular event, but when I was there, with no lights around for miles, I could see little meteors a couple of times a minute.
9:52 what is THAT? Am I really the only person wondering this?
timelapse of the milky way with lots of satellites and a cloud forming on the left
No I saw it too. Could be single cloud drifting by in time lapse.
There are the meteors falling to the ground I think
Les nuages arrivent aussi vites qu'ils se désintègrent.... Tout ce qui vient du ciel n'est pas forcément mystique !
I'd guess an rcs blast from a satellite, I spotted it too.
Why much hate? He does his best, give him a break.
No
@@bigzach7778 that is mean
While in space, it's an asteroid. When it enters a planet's atmosphere and starts to burn, it's a meteor. Once it's landed and no longer in motion, it's a meteorite.
Imagine if someone said God send me a sign just before that
The gods are angry with us is what they thought long ago.
There are no Gods.
