A possible meteor in Argentina

[gonzorama]

the labor of the press is simply pathetic, they keep on telling us that the explosion was caused by a pizza oven
by the way...the witness of the meteorite was detained and acused for false testimony...

Yeah, pathetic. Now they will create more "old satellites pieces falling down, as they probably know that we are entering a possible series of meteorite showers

 

[Cosmos]

are there any aerial photographs available ?

Yeah, pathetic. Now they will create more "old satellites pieces falling down, as they probably know that we are entering a possible series of meteorite showers

There is more doomed satellite news!

Why is this a big deal now? Last solar maximum was a LOT worse than the current one. But people forget... I don't though, 'cause I was keeping track of it day after day...

From the comments By SAJ, He also included a link for more photos of the decimation.

Here I was thinking that full hazmat bodysuits with facial filter mask are only worn in hazardous biological or nuclear environments... But deducing the information from the mainstream media that “gas cylinder” must have had some dangerously high radioactive levels for the guy in first picture to have to don full protective gear and a Geiger counter....

If I'm not mistaken the guys at the scene are wearing hazard suits similar to those sold on here [Link], the recommended usage for these overalls from the manufacturer is as follows:

"Tychem® SL is ideal for chemical mixing, remediation, emerency medical response, paint spraying, and radioactive environments....

Warning: Tyvek® should not be used around heat, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments."

I guess that rules out wearing those suit where there was gas explosion ...

?? Not sure if this has been mentioned before or the accuracy but there were some earlier reports mentioning that some of vehicles nearby stopped working... [Link]

More pictures from the scene here [Link]

A good observation of the Hazmat suit's, with the government team, or local fire department conducting an intense investigation in what i would think would be searching for fragment's of the meteor, and or possible signs of life from the meteor aka microscopic bug.

But if that were the case, they would have cordoned off the area, for miles, quarantined all the people in the effected area, if they thought that their was a pandemic, associated with the falling rock, if it is a rock.

Or at least one would think so unless they need a few canaries, as they use in coal mines. :/

One can check the solar activity in the last years. We have nothing impressive so far. Example: http://spaceweather.com/archive.php?day=30&month=10&year=2003&view=view
That was a few days before the X28 flare : http://www.esa.int/export/esaSC/SEMNFTWLDMD_index_0.html

Just LOOK at that archived image of the sun, loaded down with spots, and then look at today's image. No comparison.

And their explanation for the suits may be something like the 'satellite' may have been radioactively contaminated - you know just precaution, not a meteorite.

After looking over the article, and picture's again on Sott.net, another observation brought up by a reader was, where is the fire. Also where is the crater that would come with the fiery rock....or explosion.?

There were no scorch marks, as well as few hose lines deployed indicating no fire and where there is smoke there is fire. Typical after effects, would be seen during mope up, ( clean up, and pick up of equipment by firer crews as well as extinguishing "Hot Spot's", while sifting through charred debris ).

This may have been an atmospheric burst, by a very small rock maybe the size of ones fist. But there were few downed telephone line's, and a sky burst depending on the angle, or approach, that it came in from, would it tend to leave a directional foot print........ ............ Que NO...?

In the last pic of SOTT article it says:

A photograph of the incoming meteor taken by a witness who was later arrested and forced to recant, saying that the image was hoaxed. That may well have been the case, but it's important to realise that incoming fireballs can cycle through every colour of the rainbow as they burn through the Earth's atmosphere. This explains the apparent discrepancies between witness testimonies of the fireball being both bright blue and dark red, as shown above.

Exactly as it is. A guy was arrested for saying that he saw the meteorite. Fascism of astronomic proportions.

Yesterday, while discussing these news, a friend told me that long time ago, his -now dead- mother told him that one should never get closed or touch remainings of meteorite, that people died soon after doing it. His mother was a peasant from the countryside, daughter of peasant arab inmigrants. And that it was a common knowledge among old people of her village. Our current "modern" civilisation lost that knowledge.

Is it possible that the house that was destroyed caused there to not be an impact crater? It could have been small enough that this was all the damage it did. And I'd say that that is quite enough damage.

There wouldn't necessarily be fire charring or an impact crater if the fragment was small enough - just the explosive force of it breaking up in the atmosphere. It could have been very small. To compare it to Tunguska is ridiculous since that was a much, much larger fragment judging from the devastation. Others might have more info on that.

That was what i was alluding too that was no fire, it was to small. But it would still have a tremendous amount of heat,( like red hot) attained to it from the friction from entry from space would it not, which could cause a fire.

But no fire because it did not land on the ground, ( i perhaps did not make myself very clear, sorry ) because it was possibly atmospheric donation, and a small one, (possibly smaller than a fist, an egg, or a orange), but big enough to do that type of damage.

The mention to the Tunguska event was just a comparison, of similar meteorite activity, with this kind of attribute ( like the downing of flight 447 ), as just an example as a another concussion detonation, from above.

Also looking at the picture's it looks like it might have been a mixed residency, like a auto repair garage, ware house business, with a connected residence, with a lot of square feet on a pretty big lot.
