Sonic Booms? Yeah RIGHT!

[Joe]

did anyone notice those two "sonic booms" stories from yesterday, one across England, the other across Ohio. The UK one was first about 6pm, massive loud rumbling boom, shook houses. Then 6 hours later, the same thing across Ohio. The Brits came up with the clearly nonsensical story about a civilian helicopter accidentally transmitting an emergency 'gone rogue' signal that led ATCs to authorise faster than sound flight.Oh really? This was a national terror alert then? In the US they just said it was a "low flying jet"

Note this from the Guardian article on the subject

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/apr/12/typhoon-jets-loud-bang-midlands?newsfeed=true

"During the incident one of Royal Airforce Typhoon's emitted a sonic boom that shook houses in Coventry, Rugby and Leamington."

Problem is, Coventry, Rugby and Leamington cover a small area of the Midlands of England, yet the boom was heard over a large area stretching from the midlands down to the South West.

Sonic booms, aging satellites hurtling to the earth, along with possible acts of terrorism all make good cover stories for the present. TPTB gotta explain things to the masses somehow at first.

It will be interesting to see how the public reacts should bolide explosions, comet sightings and natural disaster after natural disaster become more and more the norm on the BBM...not just raindrops happening in another part of the world.

Sure make's one wounder, how long "they" will able be to keep this cover up.

UFO mystery: Latest sighting in Siberia 13 April, 2012,
_http://rt.com/news/siberia-ufo-fall-meteorite-958/

An unidentified glowing object is said to have crashed down from the skies in Russia’s Siberia, causing a powerful explosion. A search for the mysterious item is underway amid speculations of what on Earth it could be.
Witnesses describe seeing a bright glow covering the sky, followed by a shining object falling with a strange clanging sound and disappearing in the distance with a blast.

The unidentified object supposedly fell in the taiga forest of the Irkutsk region, 15 kilometers from the nearest village of Vitim, on Friday night. The head of the regional administration said a group of researchers has been sent to inspect the area and question witnesses.
“We will be able to say what it is, only when we see the thing itself and the place where it fell,” explained head of the region Aleksandr Sergey. “The investigators, together with hunters are going there on snowmobiles”.

There are two possible causes of the incident being examined. The object could either be a part of a large meteorite, or satellite wreckage. Speculations that it could be a piece of the failed, recently launched North Korean carrier rocket have been dismissed. Neither could it be a piece of any other aircraft as there have been no flights in the area.

The director of the astronomical observatory at Irkutsk University however explained that the searches won’t find any traces if it was a meteorite.
“Usually such objects completely disintegrate – they burn down in the atmosphere and split into very small fragments upon falling,”he said. This is not the first incident of this kind in the area.

The best-known case, the Vitim bolide, fell in this very area in 2002 causing a powerful explosion. Detected by a US military missile-defense satellite, the event recalled the massive Tunguska blast of 1908, caused by a large falling meteorite.
This March, a mysterious cylinder fell in another part of Siberia, causing widespread speculation as to what it was. While media supposed it was part of a satellite or a fragment of a ballistic missile, the Russian Federal Space Agency denied ownership of the object.

At first this explosions on 9th and 12th of February in Kemorovo region, Siberia, now this UFO or what it may be. And Kemorovo is not so far away from Irkutsk (approximately 1000 km). So, what is happening there?
Added: forget: On February 15th there was another explosion very close to Irkutsk.

When scientists finally made it to the remote site in 1927, no visible fragments of the exploded body were found. Later field work uncovered peculiar black, shiny, metallic spheres in the soil of numerous small, shallow, oval craters - 50 to 200 meters diameter - similar to the craters of the Carolina Bays. These spheres were typical of extraterrestrial bodies having a composition very high in iridium, nickel, cobalt and other metals.

Chemtrail? Contrails? Strange Skis

........Now, here is where the connection comes in: An unusually high content of these same metals were later found in Antarctic ice cores, but in the layer relating to the year 1912.

That is to say, it took four years for the stuff deposited in the stratosphere to precipitate onto Earth.

From the Antarctic data, global fallout of 7 million tons was estimated for the Tunguska body which means that it's diameter would have been about 160 meters.

The dust from such objects exploded in the stratosphere diffuses over the globe and it usually takes a period of about three to six months for this to happen. The time that it takes for anything in the stratosphere to get to the ground is about 3 years (or more) and that is "independent of the initial amount of dust {or whatever}." Also, there are so many atmospheric variables that it cannot be determined where the stuff will go.

That is, materials injected into the stratosphere do NOT precipitate onto the ground under which it is "laid" (as in so-called chemtrails) except, perhaps, almost accidentally, and much, much later.

Again, this has no bearing on spraying that takes place at much lower altitudes, as in the troposphere, but clearly, what is going on in the stratosphere is NOT "chemtrails."..................

Same day, around the same time:

http://news.yahoo.com/trooper-motorist-mysterious-object-fell-sky-125824263.html

Trooper, motorist: Mysterious object fell from sky

Authorities in northwestern Connecticut say they didn't find anything after a state trooper and another person reported a large object falling out of the sky in Litchfield.

The Republican-American of Waterbury reports (http://www.rep-am.com/news/local/634388.txt) that a person driving in Litchfield at about 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake. Officials say that at about the same time, a state trooper 10 miles away in Warren called dispatchers to report that something fell out of the sky and landed near Bantam or Morris.

Morris firefighters made several passes up and down the lake in a boat looking for a possible plane crash, but didn't find any debris.

Authorities called off the search, leaving the mystery unsolved.

A guy from Bath (the place where the 'helicopter' was supposed to be flying around) has been tweeting (see @NeilDenny #BathUFO), and posted a set of images from the same day/time showing an unusual object. See photo set HERE. And HERE he writes>

Distress flare weather balloon or BathUFO

This is a zoom in detail from one of the many shots in the BathUFO set.

This was spotted at about 18:10 on 12th April 2012.

As I write this the media is being filled with stories of sonic booms from the typhoon fighters. It was the noise of their engines that first got me looking into the sky.

The story is that the typhoon jets were dispatched to assist a helicopter that had released a distress signal.

I have not got a clue what a distress signal looks like if, indeed, it is a physical thing at all.

This was definetely physical and seemed to be drifting very slowly. It was soon covered by cloud and therefore obscured.

From another source there is an image showing two jets plus the object HERE

Neither of these two sources have an image of the helicopter it seems. ;)

There's a piece about it being a 'UFO' not a helicopter in The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4256091/Sonic-boom-as-jets-investigate-UFO.html

The scrambled warplanes were seen intercepting a mystery object hovering over Somerset.

Dad-of-three Richard Bird, 38, told how the supersonic jets probed the “strange sock-shaped” entity above his garden in Bath.

He said: “They were having a really good look.”

Fellow local Sean Whyte described the UFO as “white and rocket-shaped”.

Another witness said: “The jets kept circling it. It was very strange.”

The Met Office last night said in the wake of the Typhoons being scrambled on Thursday that the object was NOT a weather balloon.

Check out the ITV news report HERE, which apparently has a clip of the boom right at the beginning. Notice the two flashes - Would a sonic boom from a jet produce a flash?

That was NO sonic boom. Geeze, I lived in Florida under the flight path of the Space Shuttle when it landed there, not to mention MacDill AFB nearby, and I've heard many, many sonic booms.

That sounded to me like a gigantic crack of lighting. Not ordinary lightning at all, so maybe it was associated with a comet fragment?

 

[Cosmos]

would a sonic boom from a jet cause glasses and doors to shake ?
maybe depending on the distance from the ground ?

I think it is possible that those flashes you see there were not visible actually.
It looks to me like those flashes occur within the camera, maybe something Electrical that intervenes with the Electrical functioning of the camera itself right before and while the boom occured?

Sounds like a lightning crack to me too. Plus in the news reports the sounds were heard over a very wide area. There does seem to have been something happening with jets, but maybe it was boom was first, jets second?

More about an 'object' from the local paper HERE:

It was tracking a helicopter flying over the Bath area, but the other one of the pair appeared to some onlookers to be concentrating on a white or silver object much higher in the sky. …

The Typhoon had created a sonic boom, which was heard in Bath, Swindon, Coventry, Rugby and Oxford. …

Many people on Twitter reported doors and windows shaking, while others thought there had been an underground explosion. …

Neither statement made any reference to the presence of the other object – said to be silver and rocket-shaped.

There has been speculation that it might have been a weather balloon, but the Met Office today ruled out the possibility, saying they were not released at that time of day. …

One suggestion has been that the object might have been a solar balloon – although these tend to be black. This would be a possibly home-made balloon constructed from plastic sheeting which could fly at up to 50,000ft. …

But he added: “At the same time high above, another Typhoon, the shape is very distinctive, was seemingly buzzing a white object at about 35,000 ft. This white rocket-shaped object was in the NE and stationary. Clouds eventually obscured both but we had been watching for maybe five minutes. We were not seeing things!”

A witness on this website said: “My mother and sister also witnessed the silver floating object. They described it as shaped like a rocket, and that it moved horizontally, then stopped, then moved vertically up until they lost sight of it.”

And this one of the SR-72. One of the fastest flying high altitude reconnaissance jets, that could barely come close to the speed of a falling firerball.

in the second video it's unprovable that it is actually a sound from a Meteorite no further information whatsoever about the source of the video, so it could be everything.

in the first video it is mentioned that sonic booms of jets actually produce two booms in a very short period of time so that it appears as one boom.
now it would be interesting if we could slow down the video of Aladas post and see (rather hear) if there are two separate booms!

the other interesting thing is that you can see people very near by the jet in the second video when it hits the "Sonic Wall" and frankly they don't seem to be that startled about the boom itself.

Perhaps, i think who ever recorded it may have been documenting the sounds of the night forest, and happen to get lucky.

would a sonic boom from a jet cause glasses and doors to shake ?
maybe depending on the distance from the ground ?

Only if they were flying 10,000 feet or below. Otherwise it would not really be felt.
