Can't find this, if it was posted before, sorry. I was a little hesitant to post this being it came from world nut daily but something is there.

Was it a meteor that slammed into India? (Illustration by Leonard Wikberg III, courtesy ScienceData.net)

Villagers in India are in a state of shock and local officials baffled after a fireball was seen crashing Tuesday night, causing a massive explosion that "shook the Earth."

"I saw a huge ball of fire in the air," farmhouse caretaker Gangaram Waghmare told the Mumbai Mid Day. "It raced down to the Earth so fast that before I could do anything, my house shook and all my utensils came crashing down."

More than half a dozen villages near the towns of Khopoli, Uran and Panvel felt the impact. Locals were said to run out of their homes and remain outside for fear of them collapsing.

"The noise was so loud, for a moment I thought I had turned deaf. It was almost like a huge bomb blast," said resident R. Chaitanya.

More than 80 calls about the event flooded one local police office in Navi Mumbai.

1. A lot of fireball/meteor reports these days.

Especially, it seems, over Central and South East Asia.

Here's a story I saw last week about the same event:

Panic grips Maharashtra village after "fireball and big bang"

India News, Mumbai, Jan 11 : Panic tonight gripped a village in Raigad district of Maharashtra with residents reporting a huge ball of fire coming down from the sky accomapnied by a big bang.

SP Raigad Jyaneshwar Fadtare said residents of Khapoli village informed that they had seen the fireball and heard a deafening sound that "shook the earth" at around 9 PM. The village is about 100km from here.

He said a police team had been sent out to ascertain the situation but the problem was of locating place where the reported fireball could have come crashing down.

Police Commissioner Navi Mumabi Vijay Kamble said there was "no substance" in the complaint of the villagers although people of Chirner near Uran had also heard the bang.

2. Hmmmm

There have been a lot of reports like this lately. China, Pakistan, India, Iran...I assumed meteors at first, but they wouldn't just strike one area of the world.

[Just Me]

5. Yeah,...one can't help BUT be suspicious.

:scared:

[HeeBGBz]

16. Some similar reports of fireballs/meteors in Wisconsin too

Goodness, gracious! Great ball of fire

Please note the obligatory tinfoil spin always put on these celestial occurances. Hahaha. Nothing to see here, er, you didn't see anything that you think you saw.

Anywayyyyy, once you get past that, there's a vague semblence of factual material.

[RevCheesehead]

21. STARMAN supposedly landed in WI, too...

perhaps he's back?

[genieroze]

18. Maybe it was one meteor that broke up in the atmosphere and all

the remnants fell in the same area?

[rasputin1952]

3. If there was much to this....I'd think the major media wouold be all over

it...:)

Reuters, AP, UPI, CBS, NBC, ABC...the cable news.....BBC, Bundesfunk...nothing but something from worldnetdaily...hmmmm...:(

4. We get hit by little shit all the time.

The number of small asteroid impacts that usually go unnoticed is really quite considerable.

[Maple]

6. Yes, but this isn't

'little shit' by the sound of it.

[Zynx]

8. And World Net Daily calls them UFO's

I think I'll stick with the small meteor theory.

[Maple]

11. Well technically

until they're identified, they ARE UFOs.

Unidentified flying objects

That's not the same thing as a flying saucer you know

[toymachines]

7. thats an interesting site

could get lost reading crap there for hours

[HeeBGBz]

9. There was a report of something similar

Several days before the big quake. I'll see if I can find the link.

edited because I found one.

Indonesia blasts likely meteor shower

"It's suspected that a fireball originating from a big meteor entered the earth's atmosphere ... This created the explosion," said LAPAN space expert Thomas Djamaluddin on Sunday.

Police, on high alert after warnings from Western governments of possible terror attacks over the Christmas and New Year period, had said they were investigating the blasts.

10. WARNING - Tinfoil causality alert!

I hope you're not implying a serious link between things yielding a few pounds of TNT equivilent and gigaton level earthquakes.

[Just Me]

12. *LOL* Simultaneous explosion of linear-lined nuclear devices,...

,...across the ocean bed? Ya' mean that kind of tinfoil casualty?

[HeeBGBz]

17. Just Me are you in denial that meteors exist?

Or are you and Zynx in tandem as the Defenders Against Tinfoil?

[Zynx]

24. "Linier-lined nuclear devices"????

I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean.

[Maple]

13. Now fireballs & meteors

can't be discussed?

Known phenom...you won't have to drag out the stake at all.

[HeeBGBz]

15. You noticed that too, Maple?

I would have posted my responses last night but my computer would not reload DU until this morning. (Ooh, tinfoil shiver) Probably just as well. Gave me a cooldown period.

[genieroze]

19. I couldn't get on to DU either, I just went to bed. eom

[Zynx]

25. Sure, discuss the meteors

Just don't start linking them with the tsunami/earthquake or "Secret Uber US Factional Orbital Bombardment Weapon Powered by HAARP - Patent Pending."

I interpreted the post relating the meteor to the quake as that he thought the meteor had something to do with the quake.

If that's not what he meant, I apologize for calling it tinfoil.

[HeeBGBz]

26. Try not to anticipate someones posts before they post then please.

You are the only one suggesting that shit. Who made you tinfoil police anyway?

[HeeBGBz]

14. No, but it seems you are.

I see nothing that even resembles that statement in my post. Did I mention anything manmade? Nope. Soooo, what's up with you? Are you saying meteors are tinfoil subjects now?

Funny. This is twice now I merely mentioned that there were reports of fireballs/meteors recorded in the vicinity a few days before the quake (saying this as a reference to the timeframe- not to frighten the anti-tinfoil swat team) and both time peeps came out of the woodwork crying "Tin Foil!" Makes me think I should look further into the subject, eh?

[genieroze]

20. The first thing I thought was a natural occurrence like a meteor, I posted

this because I thought of those poor people in that part of the world. I thought my goodness, what next, haven't they suffered enough?

[Ezlivin]

22. Both the fireballs and the tsunami were caused by HAARP

Just a second while I adjust my tin-foil hat....

Yes, both of these events are created in situ with the aid of HAARP or the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project.

[HeeBGBz]

27. Better watch out

Zynx and Just Me will be crawlin up your ass about HAARP any minute now.

[Ezlivin]

28. Did you read "HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy"?

It's by Jerry E. Smith

It's an eye-opening book, although a bit too much in some places.

Nonetheless it is food for serious thought.

23. What ever they do - DON'T POKE IT WITH A STICK!

Remember the last time that poor slob did on "the blob"?!
