Cluster of meteors hit the earth's surface - Murshidabad District, India
- Thread starter Cosmos
- Start date
Happy to comply.
This is my main source:
http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball2/public.php?start_date=2012-01-01&end_date=2012-12-31&state=&event_id=&submit=Find+Reports
these are sources I'm working on collating coherently:
I think this is Czech, not sure
http://meteor.asu.cas.cz/db/report/
Canadian, not updated in awhile as far as I can tell:
http://miac.uqac.ca/MIAC/miac_frames_e.html
French:

US All-Sky Network:

This is a handy tool to calculate energies imparted by fireballs:

I found some good historical data here, search for fireballs:
http://openlibrary.org/
A book I found from 1867 on the above site:
http://openlibrary.org/works/OL233301W/Meteoric_astronomy
As you can see, a lot of data to look at, reconcile and collate. Whatever anyone would like to do to further the work is most appreciated. Any other links to fireball databases would be appreciated, too.

Hi apacheman,
Don't see it mentioned in your post above, do you use the Meteoritical Bulletin Database?

when I'm using only this source I'll come up with this data per day:
2005: 2.474
2006: 2.521
2007: 3.359
2008: 4.370
2009: 5.129
2010: 6.953
2011: 12.573
And so far for 2012, as of yesterday: 14.045

Very impressive, I bet that if we had a more acurate way to know how many bodies are entering the planet the numbers will increse dramatically... In fact, they already are...
The C´s never gave a clue about how long will take the cluster to made their pass, did they? It would be an interesting question... but I assume that it will be in a frame of months to 2 years maybe

If I'm not mistaken the Cs said that we would first have revolution (in the last session they mentioned 2012 as being the year of revolution), then the ice age (2013?) and then the comets would hit (ETA would be past mid-2014, I think). If I remember correctly the comets' arrival will coincide with the Wave's arrival.

I think you are confusing "reports" with "events": as of 15 July there are 2781 reports of 967 events.
The 15th of July was the 197th day of the year, 967 divided by 197 gives us 4.9 per day, plus some small change. It is an easy error to make, and part of the difficulty in reconciling different databases. Not everyone uses the same magnitude thresholds to log, and depending upon location, there is some inevitable overlap that can only be screened out by careful comparison of time, date, color, size, etc. Since color and size may change during an event, the same event could be show up in different databases as separate events, confusing the issue. That is the main reason I stuck with one database for the US, I lack the time for such painstaking analysis, and didn't want to muddy the data.

I see, so there can be many reports of the same event and you calculated by the events themself.
the calculation I did is based solely on all reports (for example 2781 reports for 2012).
