Russia's authorities on Friday cautioned residents of the Urals to stay away from any unidentified objects after a meteor dramatically burned up above the region, with a precious meteorite apparently plunging into a local lake.
Meteorites are worth a lot of money.
Meteorites can be worth several hundred dollars per ounce.
The Russian Mafia will get dibs on the main piece in the lake.
They say it was a meteor.
That’s why I think it was on their satellites that was in a somewhat controlled re-entry, and they don’t want anyone taking off with any ‘pieces’ of the object.
There’s got to be a pipin fresh conspiracy baked in here somewhere.
Personally I think it was a UFO piloted by Bigfoot.
LOL...no mistaking The Skipper.
I was in south Georgia, it was later reported that the meteor landed in North Carolina.
We had a CB radio in the office, and there was a lot of chatter.
“Theres got to be a pipin fresh conspiracy baked in here somewhere.”
I think we should make up a good one. It has to include George Bush, the Tri Lateral Commission, a secret satellite, GMO seeds,and fluoride in drinking water. And maybe pancakes.
Add mind control and tissue sampling.
And that human caused global warming is real!

I saw one once too. I was in the 2nd grade in the late 60s and was playing in the back yard on a clear late spring evening chasing lightning bugs with a neighbor friend while my mother was sitting on the back patio keeping an eye on us. All of a sudden the ground lit up like it was daytime. We looked up to see this thing streak right above us and just like you said; it was greenish, actually I recall it was sort of turquoise, with a long sparkly tail and as it passed over, it made a hissing, whistling sound. My older brother was inside the house listening to a Yankees game on the radio and came out to see what happened as hed seen the flash through his bedroom window and thought a transformer exploded. A while later the local radio station broke in with reports the strange sighting. It was a meteorite, probably the size of a baseball or smaller and it supposedly landed about 20 miles away on a small mountain but AFAIK, no one ever found it.
Although it scared me (and my mother) at the time, it was the coolest thing I ever saw.
I agree that it is unlikely this thing was launched from earth. And it is certainly a meteor (at least it looked and acted exactly like one does)
But surely we could launch an atomic bomb into orbit with a lot less energy than you are suggesting?
Just saying, no conspiracy, classic meteorite, large.
