Maybe some of them aren’t “fireballs” - ya think.

[RexBeach]

Spaceballs?

Is Mel Brooks involved in the Space Balls?

Sorry that was just me after some Taco Bell and a BIC lighter......LOL

Jerry Lee Lewis sang soulfully of these back in the 1950’s. No reason for the government to clap “secret” on this now.

Military Covering Up Fireballs From Space

Obama gave the order. He doesn't want the rest of us to know when the spaceships from his home planet arrive...

We went camping in northern New Mexico last summer. I was actually awakened several different times by meteorites and explosions in the sky.

There's a lot of activity in our atmosphere we don't usually see.

The big one is headed our way and they don’t want mass panic?

The sky is falling!!! We’re doomed!!!

Are the Star-Trek-classic Romulans attacking? They had some of the coolest weapons...

Ok, if that’s how they want to be, I won’t tell them about
what I’ve been seeing.........boy will they be sorry.

Fireballs from space. OOOOOO! Sounds so mysterious and otherworldly.

Meteroite sounds so, well....normal. Can’t use a word like that.

Military Covering Up Fireballs From Space

Before the UFOers chime in:

The satellites' main objectives include detecting nuclear bomb tests, and their characterizations of asteroids and lesser meteoroids as they crash through the atmosphere has been a byproduct data bonanza for scientists.

It was secret, because the projects purpose was to detect (man made) nulcear explosions. The data it collected on asteroids and meteorites hitting the atmosphere (the fireballs from space) was just a by product of the study.

No UFO junk science here.

Well, you'd think that it would be pretty darned difficult to cover up a giant spaceball crashing into the earth and wiping out a city somewhere, causing a tidal wave, or tossing up a sun blotting dust cloud even if it hits an unpopulated area.

I doubt that anything that I can see burning up in the atmosphere by my own observation of the night sky is much of a 'secret' anyways.

And when that giant global killer does come, will it really matter if we know it's on it's way? What can we do about it? buld our own spacecraft in our back yards in a hurry so we can escape to- where?

The mass panic, people running around on killing sprees or what ever they want to do on their last day would ruin any chance of being able to throw a good "last day" party, so it would be best we didn't know we are all going to die in 24 hrs.
