February 15, 200917 yr I guess those Ballard boys/fans were glad they weren't in Lville yesterday!:thumb:
February 16, 200917 yr The weather channel said tonight that lights were seen and sonic booms heard in Louisville last night, as debris from a recent satellite collision rained down across the central part of the country. They said people there and elsewhere could expect more such events over the next several days. I thought you were kidding about this :lol: until I saw something on the news about it this morning. :scared:
February 16, 200917 yr According to Wave3's John Belski, this was not satellite debris. Thank you NASA.... I have been saying that the recent sightings in the sky are not from the satellite collision. Scientists have been saying that debris will stay up in space for a long time. When you see something bright in the sky.... the rule of thumb is.... if the object is visible for 30 seconds or more it is space junk. If it is visible for a second or two it is a meteor. A large meteor can be visible for 5 seconds. NASA says the Texas object...see yesterday's post...was a large meteor. As far as the Friday evening object seen in Kentucky.....from what I have heard it was probably a meteor. Originally it sounded like space debris but most people say it lasted jst a few seconds and not 30. Just a coincidence to have two bright objects like that in one weekend. http://wave3.typepad.com/belskis_blog/
February 16, 200917 yr According to Wave3's John Belski, this was not satellite debris. http://wave3.typepad.com/belskis_blog/ This article makes no sense. If you see it for 30 seconds, its probably an object in orbit reflecting light. Irridium satellites would be a good example. But space debris falling through the atmosphere would look similar to a meteor shower. Larger objects would make sonic booms and large flashes.
February 16, 200917 yr Author They're saying that the sightings in Texas and a similar incident in Italy were not space debris from the collision either. It all sounds awfully strange. :popcorn:
