NASA PUZZLED BY FIVE FIREBALLS OVER AMERICA IN ONE NIGHT
futurism.com ^ | VICTOR TANGERMANN

NASA’s Meteor Watch confirmed sightings of at least five fireballs soaring through the evening sky over the US last Friday night.

In a Facebook post, the Meteor Watch noted that there were at least 80 eyewitness accounts of a massive fireball soaring over the North Carolina coast, becoming visible at around 7:40 pm.

The giant space rock eventually disintegrated after covering 26 miles through the upper atmosphere at an estimated 32,000 mph. It’s unclear from the Facebook post whether a single meteor broke up to form multiple smaller fireballs during its descent, or if multiple fireballs blazed through the upper atmosphere — a spectacular sight nonetheless for those lucky enough to be staring at the night sky at the right time.

The fireballs’ trajectories remain ambiguous.

Of course they’re baffled. Fireballs coming out of the sky has nothing to do with Muslim outreach.

If I had to bet, I’d say that NASA is not puzzled and knows exactly what happened.

If I made a further guess, I’d say that someone just lost a very expensive piece of equipment.

More likely China trying out some of their new ‘toys’, before they need to use them in combat.

One swig of Pepto will quiet down all those ‘Angry Alligators’ in the tum-tum. It’s really amazing!

Not when you package mud carp as ‘salmon’. Even our cats recoiled.

“26 miles at an estimated 32,000 mph”

And setting an all-time world record for the marathon. Even then Kenyans can’t beat that.
