“No way that could be a meteor, no flames, no smoke, no nothin...”

Read the article from the geologist — no fire:

“Most of the time, meteoroids burn up after entering our planet’s atmosphere, but sometimes larger ones survive the journey and enter what’s known as “dark flight.” This is when the rock stops burning up and begins to fall to the ground at terminal velocity. Amundsen estimates that the meteor was traveling at around 186 mph when it whizzed past Helstrup.”

I don’t buy it.

Not even smoke?

This whole “dark meteorite” thing has as much stones to it as “dark energy” and “dark matter” and “dark light”!

Other than the fact it’s way above ground, it looks like a plain, ordinary rock to me. And I am gonna be pretty hard to convince otherwise!
