Turkey. When a 2.69 ton object hits ground at reentry speed, it registers on a seismograph.

We all live within a GIANT electromagnetic, hyper dimensional, quantum virtual bhater that literally responds to our emotional body and plays back to us that which we are. Choose the right vibrations to play back :D
And as for you and me.... the shifts in the masses collective consciousness continue to increase in amplitude, we can guarantee that the world will be a very different place in 10 years, 5 years, even 2 years. There are a multitude of Urgent, Critical and Crucial issues which our species and the Governing Structures of our Planet must confront.
It is time for this species to really get down to putting some thought into what our continued behavior will manifest as the future unfolds. If we allow ourselfs to run rampant and continue along the pathway that we are headed, we will short circuit this process and completely annihilate our entire developed level of civilization.

It is now time for you to begin to come together and put everything out into the open and on the table.

Distance of somethings are hard to judge ! A meteor 60 miles away made a flash that looked like a welding light in a garage ! We saw the flash but found videos on it the next day and it was over 60 miles away ! Security cameras recorded the flash !

what exactly am I looking for... witnesses, debris?

US Strategic Command is saying the German ROSAT satellite hit In Northern Thailand, I call Bullshit



This morning I was woken up by a text message and then a subsequent call from my mother about what I beleive was a large object reentering the atmosphere and striking the ground in Arkansas.

My mother is not into conspiracies and does not know much about space weather, satellites, meteors, ect.


Here is how it happened:

She was driving from Fayetteville to Little Rock. At around 7:00am both her and my step-father saw something plumeting towards earth that startled them so much they ended up pulling over.

She said it was so large it looked to be about the size of a coke can in the sky if the can was held outstretched in your hand away from your face. Both her and my step-father said that they say green, yellow, and a large tail.

Most important they said it was moving fast, really fast, and they say it went down near the horizon which means impact was likely.


They were near Winslow, AR. I will post the map below. This means that the thing is in Devils Den state park or Ozark Nation Forrest.

I live up north or I would already be there. I want to find this fucking thing and prove we are the fastest communications network once and for all. It came in fast so if someone saw it that would be great, but you would have to have been looking withing the same 30 seconds.

On October 23, sunrise occured at 7:01 AM in Fayetteville. At 6:12 AM CDT a flare from Iridium 97 was visible from Winslow, Arkansas. The Iridum satellite is a constellation of low Earth orbit communications satellites. Flares happen when the antennas on the satellite catch the sunlight and a short, few second brightening, occurs. From the location you provided the magnitude was -4 but, depedning on the exact location, the magnitude could have been as high as -8 which is much brighter than Venus. They do look like a meteor but it is not somthing that hit the ground.

Re: What in the HELL fell out of the SKY in Arkansas this morning, ROSAT hit here, activate GLP, lets find this thing
Today I was taking a break from work and it was between probably around 4:30 pm or so. I live in South East Arkansas and I was looking up into the sky just looking at clouds and watching for planes. I didn't expect to see anything but something shiny caught my eye. It was sort of far away, so I don't know what it was, but whatever it was spinning. First it was black and then it would be really shiny, then it would spin around to the black side again. I was thinking it must be a mylar ballon but anyway, this is what I saw.

So you really don't want to know what it was, you just want to be a jerk.

My mother is not into conspiracies and does not know much about space weather, satellites, meteors, ect.

Meaning the lack of knowledge must be taken into account when evaluating the observation.

You did not provide age but age must be considered and age related eye problems.

Most important they said it was moving fast, really fast, and they say it went down near the horizon which means impact was likely

Since the eye has a theoretical parallax limit of 4 kilometers (and practically much less), judging distances beyond that cannot be determined without using contextual information. Since you already said your mother has no knowledge of space objects the ability to judge distances and a location of impact are limited using context.

The two possibilities are a meteor or the known Iridium 97 flare (not flair). You did not mention angular distance above the horizon but the Iridium satellite was around 40 degrees above the horizon at the time of the flare (they are seen at sunrise and sunset) but the exact angle depends on the exact location of the observation. From the location you provided the satellite would have been somewhere between west and north and it would of been traveling down.

Most meteors, even bright ones, burn up around 50 miles above the ground and never reach the ground. This is the peak of the Orionid meteor shower

In either case, the observation does not necessarily mean an impact occurred. Meteor impacts do occasionally occur but not necessarily so for every meteor streak seen. Impacts are rare.

Re: What in the HELL fell out of the SKY in Arkansas this morning, ROSAT hit here, activate GLP, lets find this thing
No, it would not be the iridium flare. I believe this because they saw a trail on it so it would have burning up upon re-entry. There was a meteor shower this past weekend, but this thing was visible in daylight (early morning), and based on the size described, it would have to be a nice sized rock that hit. Reentering meteors can look bigger than they are because of the intense light given off.

She actually just texted me this morning to see if I dug up anything on what it could have been.

To address an earlier question about her eyesight (lol), she is only 50 and her vision is fine.

When she first described it, I was like, "hell yeah ROSAT satellite just reentered.” Then I jumped online and they said it came in over northern Thailand. I am going to try to figure out today which way it was going in relation to them driving. That should narrow down the impact region.

Remember, even if it is a space rock, they can be worth a shit ton of money.

I'm right outside of Fayetteville. I've been seeing allot of 'flashes' in the sky.
In the last three mornings, I've seen 'falling' stars. I get up at 4am in the mornings for work, and watch the sky while I smoke ( yes, I smoke too Much!).
Allot of stuff happening up there!

With better directions, a narrower field; I might be tempted to go look.
I can be at Devils Den in about 30 minutes.
But, the last thing you want to do, is go running around the Ozarks without direction. These woods are very unforgiving!

So in what part of the sky was it seen? Do you have a better time then around 7:00 AM? The Sun rose just at 7:00. How long before or after sunrise? How far above the horizon?

There is one other possibility. An aircraft that momentarily caught a solar glint (reflection) and they saw a short contrail. Fayetteville is inbetween Memphis, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and St. Louis.

Yeah, I can tell from the description I was given, this object was much larger than a standard object. My step-father said he has seen lots of meteor showers and this was nothing like that. My guess is a meteor about the size of a basketball on impact. People have recoved ones like this before after sightings.

I am contacting a guy I know that is a professional fishing and hunting guide down there. I am also working to narrow down where it hit to a search area that is realistic. My step father did make note of the exit they were passing when he saw it and about where they think it went down.

Email me on the site if your interested because I am going to set up a team to go look for this thing. I am that sure that its there. The payout is big on stuff like this, metorites fetch more than drugs per gram in many cases. I can get down there for a week in the fall, its better to wait to the folliage has cleared and I can get access to metal detectors.
