BREAKING: Reports are coming in that it was an astroid not a meteor over Russia. Link included

At first it was called a UFO.

Asteroid: A relatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun.

Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterised by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet.

Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting he Sun.

Meteor: A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star.

Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.

A caller on Clyde Lewis' show yesterday said that he was an informant/whistleblower and he said that it was not a meteor, it was actually a satellite.

Well according to the definitions, I suppose it IS an asteroid, because it did not burn up in the Earths atmosphere and landed.

So, are the reporting sources using the wrong terminology then or is it something more sinister.

Good catch op, dont be afraid of glpers lol.

:interesting:

You know...I really wish they'd just tell us the truth. Makes me sick how those in power always feel the need to hold back.

So, I guess this will become known as the Chelyabinsk event -- second only to Tunguska...

Sure looks like it. I can't help but feel that Astroid 2012 DA14 and this object over Russia are related but I guess we'll never know. Sure would of been interesting to see what would of happened if this event would of occurred in Washington DC. Someone (not saying any names) would of been hiding under his desk, sucking his thumb while holding on to his blankee, and asking for his momma. LOL! Ok, that wasn't very nice of me.

It's a damned odd coincidence otherwise.

it's all been very mysterious yet vapid. i don't know what to think, or if i should even think about it at all..

Here's something very cool to watch. Here's a link to the astroid's path.

and here's the link to the ISS USTREAM and tracker. Looks like they might bump into each other. The astroid is traveling much slower than the ISS so by the time they meet, it'll be day time.
