Alleged Alien Probe or Extraterrestrial Artifact To Be Investigated (Video)

Artwork by www.theufochronicles.com showing Alien Probe or Extraterrestrial Artifact Entering Earth's Atmosphere


A "runaway fireball" that crashed into the water off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014 could be an alien probe or extraterrestrial artifact similar to U.S. interstellar probes like NASA's "Voyagers," Harvard professor Dr. Avi Loeb told Fox News Digital.

That would be strong potential evidence of alien life.
     The space object crashed into the Bismarck Sea with a percentage of the energy force of the Hiroshima bomb in 2014 and likely traveled "from the deep interior of a planetary system or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way galaxy," Loeb said.

An interstellar object exploded over Earth in 2014, declassified government data reveal

United Nations Takes Aim at Asteroid Threat to Earth

     A fireball that blazed through the skies over Papua New Guinea in 2014 was actually a fast-moving object from another star system, according to a recent memo released by the U.S. Space Command (USSC).

The object, a small meteorite measuring just 1.5 feet (0.45 meter) across, slammed into Earth's atmosphere on Jan. 8, 2014, after traveling through space at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h) — a speed that far exceeds the average velocity of meteors that orbit within the solar system, according to a 2019 study of the object published in the preprint database arXiv.

Mysterious Fireball 'Not' a Meteor



Mysterious Fireball 'Not' a Meteor

"Technically, we're talking about unidentified flying objects."

     Last week, bright, flaming objects were spotted in the sky over the island of Chiloe in southern Chile before reportedly crashing to the ground and starting a series of small fires.

Now, after a preliminary investigation, officials from Chile's National Service of Geology and Mining say they've ruled out a disintegrating meteorite as the cause after failing to find any evidence of space rock at seven points where fires were started.

So, what are we dealing with here? Just some super-heated space junk reentering the atmosphere or is someone testing their space lasers on Chilean scrub? Technically, we're talking about unidentified flying objects. Yes, UFOs. Although nothing big or well-piloted enough to reopen The X-Files for, it would seem.

When first seen, the object had the appearance of a large star, but so rapidly did it approach the earth that by night it looked like a large white electric globe, and was surrounded by a wide circle of light.

The strange object was visible in this city from the capitol and federal buildings, the two largest structures in the place. Many people watched the ball of fire from 6 o'clock until after 9 o'clock, when it was hidden behind clouds. This morning it was not visible.

Long-Lost Planet, From Our Solar System Might be Source of Space Diamonds

Rogue Planet

The early solar system was a wild, world-destroying place.

     In 2008, a rock laced with tiny diamonds hurtled through miles of thickening nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, its exterior heating up as it raced through the thick air. A telescope tracked its progress, watching as the asteroid-turned-meteor

exploded. The violent burst 23 miles above the ground sent fragments speeding toward their resting place, dark against the sands of the Nubian desert in Sudan.

The explosion and crash were just the latest of eons of indignities, from a high pressure beginning in a promising planetary start up, to a cataclysmic failure, to billions of years of aimless wandering around the solar system.

A new study published in Nature Communications today offers a dramatic origin story for the meteorite. Based on materials found inside the diamonds nestled within, researchers think this may be the remnant of a long-lost planet or planetary embryo; one that was still in its infancy when the chaos of the early solar system obliterated it.

“Toronto police and fire services received multiple calls about a ‘plane crashing onto the Toronto Harbour,’ but luckily it was just a fireball in the night sky,” the site reads. “The preliminary estimated trajectory plotted from the witness reports shows the meteor was traveling approximately from the South to the North and ended its flight south of Cameron, NY.” ...

The flashes of light spurred numerous calls to the CBS Los Angeles newsroom from people around the metropolitan area.

The light was also visible in other states, including Utah, and spurred a flood of reports and video on social media.

Witnesses said the ball of fire in the sky lasted about 30 seconds.

Vandenberg Air Force Base officials also told CBS Los Angeles they didn't have a launch Wednesday night.

The National Weather Service told the station the incident wasn't weather-related, and said in a tweet: It was seen here in Las Vegas. Looks like space debris burning up. Not confirmed." ...

Mysteries of Huge Meteor That Struck Russia, Revealed By NASA | VIDEO

Meteor That Exploded Over Chelyabinsk, Russia, In 2013

By Forbes
3-21-15

     More than two years after an estimated 20-meter class meteor fragmented high over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, new data reported by NASA researchers this week reveals that — over a four billion year timeframe — the meteor’s orbital parent body itself had likely been geologically-impacted as many as a dozen times.

Two 15- to 20-gram samples of the Chelyabinsk meteorite that NASA obtained from Russia over a year ago reveal a broad range of information about the meteor’s mineralogy, bulk composition and age, as noted at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston.

These same fragments came off the path of the fireball somewhere around the middle of its trajectory through Earth’s atmosphere, Kevin Righter, the lead for meteoritic sample analysis and the Antarctic meteorite curator at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, told Forbes. He says the fragments — pieces from the outer portion of the meteor itself which streaked across the Russian sky on February 15, 2013 — are typical of more stony-type meteorites and made up of some 90 percent silicate; five percent sulfide; and five percent iron-nickel.

The original crystallization age of the parent body asteroid, says Righter, might be 4.5 billion years old. But in this case, he says, they found multiple ages using three or four different chronologic detection techniques. . . .

Brilliant Chrome, Red, Green Fireball Blazes Through Bay Area Skies

     SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — What appears to be a meteor blazed over the North Bay midday Saturday creating a frenzy of excited tweets and blog posts, and triggering calls to 9-1-1 dispatchers reporting what looked like a possible aircraft going down.

The space rock was actually the second fireball to light up Northern California skies Saturday — the first being the Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base that left an upper atmosphere trail of exhaust lit up by sun.

The American Meteor Society tracked 34 reports of the fireball, all coming in after noon from across the Bay Area, and even as far north as Eureka.

An observer from Lafayette tells the society, “This object was moving very fast at a very steep trajectory. It was intensely clear, and the colors were very obvious. Shiny chrome was definitely part of the ball, as if sunlight were reflecting off of it. . . .

"The Road to UFO Credibility is Filled with Detours" | Video

"The Road to UFO Credibility Filled with Detours"

Mysterious Glowing Orb Emerges From Crashing UFO (At Least On YouTube)

Lee Speigel By Lee Speigel
The Huffington Post
1-9-15

     A very unusual UFO video has appeared on YouTube. It looks like a fireball -- an exceptionally large, bright meteor, or space debris -- blazing through the night sky, leaving a long, brilliant trail behind it.

As the following video shows, a mysterious circular orb appears to eject from the main object. But the orb doesn't travel the same downward path of the meteor -- rather, it appears to almost deliberately fly off in the opposite direction.

Unfortunately, it has all the telltale signs of being a hoax. Key details were missing. The person who posted the video refused to comment on it, and a video analyst who spoke with the Huffington Post believes that at least part of the recording may have been doctored. . . .

. . . The videographer, Ken Roberts, posted the incident to YouTube on Jan. 5 with the following description:
"I was driving home after work when this UFO or whatever you call it caught my eye. I pulled over in front of somebody's house to film it. I would have got a better shot but I didn't want to jump these peoples fence. Anyway I don't know what the hell to make of it. Couldn't have been a plane cause there was no noise. And I never heard a crash after either. The Orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared. Sorry I didn't film that. I didn't know what to focus my attention on."
Except for that short narrative, Roberts casually mentions the incident happened in Southern California.

When we asked Roberts if he could simply provide us with the exact location, date and time of the event, he declined, telling us, "No thanks. I've had enough of this already."

The road to UFO credibility is often filled with detours. This is such a case. . . .
