Large fireball wrecks Argentine town

Well in my opinion it is not the video that has been fabricated, only the man's explanation of what supposedly happened. And if you'll note, I have already stated that I believe a contrail may possibly be a good explanation - if not for the injuries and death on the ground. The reason I believe the man is from an area close to the site where the people were affected, is mainly down to the fact that the police investigating seem to have linked the two. After all, why would police from somewhere else charge him with giving false information if he was not from the general area and hindering their... [More]

comet elenin? If that were really the case, I'd laugh so hard.

some updates! Argentina: Probing a Possible "UFO Origin" for the Monte Grande Explosion "We spoke with more than 30 witnesses and they all agree that a pear-shaped object, small in size, descended along a 30-degree plane: it didn't fall - it descended." http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2011/09/argentina-probing-possible-ufo-origin.html and "There was a deputy fire chief from Necochea present, and given his years of experience, he told me that no gas leak was involved, much less a gas cylinder explosion.” http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2011/09/argentina-falling-pebbles-and-barking.html njoy! ...

"A photograph of the incoming meteor taken by a witness who was later arrested and forced to recant, saying that the image was hoaxed" http://www.sott.net/articles/show/235470-That-ain-t-no-satellite-Meteorite-impacts-Buenos-Aires-Argentina I've lived in Argentina in the past, so I'd very very leery about any story that says things like a person was "arrested and forced to recant". The police in Latin America--and in most countries--are not exactly like Officer Friendly.

All this Washington Post article says is that the explosion was a gas canister and that a young man took the fireball picture changed his story "under questioning". "After the reports of a fireball coming down, the government dispatched the large number of searchers to check for radioactivity and any material that might have come from outer space. Provincial justice and security minister Ricardo Casal said experts were “evaluating all theories, from an explosion to something strange that came from the sky.” If I were a suspicious person, I would wonder about a cover up, but we all know tha...

hmmm weird

Seriously, dude you need to go camping more often, or at least look up. Meteorites don't "drift" to the ground. They may come in slowish (in relative to the speed of meteorites) and burn up and out in the atmosphere, or they simply skip off the outer atmosphere. But they still do so very quickly. If I took you up there and dropped you from a standstill, you would fall to the ground at 32.2 ft per second. A meteor hits our atmosphere already at an accelerated speed far beyond that. So unless they now have become equipped with parachutes, I highly doubt it was a meteor. I witnessed a green fireb... [More]

Did a meteorite really kill a woman and destroy some buildings in Argentina? Even though the police "went through the rubble to discover a "gas 45-kilogram gas tube, part of some pipe and a [pizza] oven destroyed." The fire department declared that the explosion was enormous" Buenos Aires security minister Ricardo Casal says that "they can't discard anything, all the versions are possible, the shockwave was huge and the gas deposits didn't explode." Right now, their "scientific police" is still going through the evidence.

Bloody fool teen aliens out joyriding again, that's what it was. I mean, come one, they spend too much time around the mothership and aren't used to flying into a gravity well. One second, they're taking in the scenery and the next they're part of it. You'd think the flightmasters would teach them better but, nooo, they're too busy hanger flying with their buddies. *grumble* ... put me in the instructor's seat and see how much things improve. lol.. I'd swear every time I've ever seen you post it involved teenage aliens.

lol.. I'd swear every time I've ever seen you post it involved teenage aliens. Well, I do post seriously sometimes but this was too good to pass up.
