I don't believe the whole Raymond Brown bullshit. Obviously, doom has been very quiet lately so bored ass idiots come up with new ways to spread fear (and congrats! Its actually working)

BUT!

I do have one question. If there was a larger asteroid heading for Earth, MANY amateur astronomers would have been able to see it by now but can someone (Dr Astro or otherwise) explain WHY there has been an increase in meteor activity in last 30 days or so?

Just curious?

Maybe The speed of asteroid is not allowing to amateur astronomers , ans the clouds are very strange , we can't see the sky , i don't believe in raymond asteroid , but i think it's nibiry who's coming , and disturbing the whole inner solar system

As much as I'd love to agree, it seems to me that MANY out there claim it is already in the inner part of our solar system, BUT I am sorry. I just don't believe or buy it. If Nibiru was the cause for this and it was close by, we would have been able to see it by now. At least amateur astronomers and that is not. There is another issue.

Maybe I am making a big deal for nothing out of it and maybe this is normal but I would like to know what.

DR ASTRO, if you are able to explain? Explain why the huge increase in meteor activity is coming from?

Earth is traveling through an asteroid belt at the moment so there's going to be an increase in asteroid activity.

Well, the most common explanation I hear is that people are just noticing them more and more are being caught on camera. After the Russian thing, more people are "looking up" with camera in hand. I have no clue if there is actually more or not...sounds like it, but I know nothing.

Something is clearly wrong, and has been since the "cosmic coincidence" on February 15th. Just look at the unusual influx of mainstream media stories on killer asteroids in the last week or so telling us that our only hope is to pray the asteroids away. Just look at all the eyewitness reports of large bolides since the "cosmic coincidence" on February 15th over Russia. It is becoming patently obvious that a cloud or cluster of large space rocks is heading our way. NASA has been negligent and they are now involved in a disinformation campaign in order to maintain order until the impacts (yes, plural).

Last year, David Dunham gave a presentation at Moscow's University of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM) where he went on the record stating (as transcribed by Russia’s Izvestia):

"There is a possibility the asteroid (DA14) will collide with Earth, but further calculation is required to estimate the potential threat and work out how to avert possible disaster. The Earth’s gravitational field will alter the asteroid’s path significantly. Further scrupulous calculation is required to estimate the threat of collision. The asteroid may break into dozens of small pieces, or several large lumps may split from it and burn up in the atmosphere. The type of the asteroid and its mineral structure can be determined by spectral analysis. This will help predict its behavior in the atmosphere and what should be done to prevent the potential threat."

Dunham was written off as an "amateur" and several blogs attempted to debunk him.

But guess what? Dunham was right. And on February 15th the "cosmic coincidece" proved him right.

I still remember how surreal it was to wake up on the morning of Friday February 15th, and almost shit myself silly at the headlines that morning describing the Chelyabinsk meteor.

Dr. Astro had everyone here convinced that nothing was going to happen on February 15, 2012 and he had the audacity to write off David Dunham, who had correctly predicted in Moscow in 2012 that DA14 would be traveling in pieces and that some of these pieces would hit. That's exactly what happened and it has since been confirmed by real astronomers like Tatiana Bordovitsina and Professor Ian Crawford.

NASA has been covering their ass ever since and have their army of shills working overtime on GLP.

The other possibility that I see here is that the government is doing precision tests with hypersonic projectiles launched from gauss guns on high altitude drone/aircraft or satellite platforms. The TPTB might be using the cover story of "asteroids" as a black-op in the eventuality that they decide to launch another godforsaken preemptive war using these new weapons.

Increasing meteor sightings may portend more hits. Remore viewers under Courtney Brown foresaw this for June 1, 2013:

"This project describes change between the years 2008 and 2013 across nine geographical locations with a global spread. The locations are

Vaitupu, Tuvalu
Fort Jesus, Mombasa Kenya
Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
United States Congress Building, Washington, D.C.
Malé International Airport, Malé, Maldives
KITV Building, Honolulu, Hawaii
The Vehicle Assembly Building at Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida
Key West, Florida

In general, these remote-viewing data suggest the following types of physical changes across many of the above geographical locations by mid-2013:

Impacts from what appear to be large meteors leading to tsunamis and possible volcanism
Extensive and forceful flooding of coastal areas
Excessive solar radiation
Storms and other severe weather
In terms of the effects of these changes on humans, these data also suggest:

Massive self-organized relocation from coastal areas (refugees)
The breakdown of rescue or other notable governmental functioning
The breakdown of the food supply system
The breakdown of the vehicular transport system
Extensive loss of buildings near coasts

I went to a lecture on comets right before the Russian meteor hit. The speaker was an old guy from NASA JPL. He was an engineer and amateur astronomer with 30 some years of experience.

In a crowded auditorium I asked if anything unusual was happening in our solar system with all the things happening to other planets, the fact that earthquakes are up over 5000% from average, and why the uptick in frequency of asteroids entering our atmosphere.

He started off by saying "uuuhhh. Ummm. Uhhh. Wellll. I'm not, ummm. " he embarassed himself and totally discredited himself in front of his audience with a simple question that he should have been 100% aware of the answer. Honestly I knew as much about comets if not more than he did. Anyway after he was stumped he said there is no higher frequency of meteors. He said most shooting stars we see are the size of a grain of sand. He said the outer space could not possibly affect or influence earthquakes.

The very next day the Russian meteor hit. I wonder what his stupid ass thought of that. Then the next morning one happened over Cuba.

It just goes to show you that most "scientists" just want to be revered for their so-called knowledge. But they really don't know shit about the big picture. They really don't know.

Re: Dr Astro or any other pro astronomer.. If there is no larger asteroid on the way, explain the HUGE increase in meteor activity?
Is it being worked on, I been watching for a while now.

Remember this does happen every single year in spring with the fireballs of February, but at the same time they have changed recently and we do want to know exactly why.

I believe a lot of what is happening is because the news and people are more aware of it this year with what happened in Russia. Kind of like the year of “the shark attacks” when it was on the news all the time but then statistically the truth was that year shark attacks were way down, the Difference was people and the media were paying attention to shark attacks that year, same thing here.


Anyway OP some links to get you looking in the right places for the answers you want.

Note the dates on these links

March 31, 2011 [link to science.nasa.gov]

Snip; What are the signs of spring? They are as familiar as a blooming Daffodil, a songbird at dawn, a surprising shaft of warmth from the afternoon sun.

And, oh yes, don't forget the meteors.

"Spring is fireball season," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Center. "For reasons we don't fully understand, the rate of bright meteors climbs during the weeks around the vernal equinox."

In other seasons, a person willing to watch the sky from dusk to dawn could expect to see around 10 random or "sporadic" fireballs. A fireball is a meteor brighter than the planet Venus. Earth is bombarded by them as our planet plows through the jetsam and flotsam of space--i.e., fragments of broken asteroids and decaying comets that litter the inner solar system.

In spring, fireballs are more abundant. Their nightly rate mysteriously climbs 10% to 30%.
"We've known about this phenomenon for more than 30 years," says Cooke. "It's not only fireballs that are affected. Meteorite falls--space rocks that actually hit the ground--are more common in spring as well1."








Feb. 13 2012 [link to news.discovery.com]


Snip; The strange deep-diving, slow-moving fireballs started falling on Feb. 1.

— They range in size from basketballs to buses and some are thought to have dropped meteorites.

— Astronomers know the objects originate in the asteroid belt, but little else is known.

A strange breed of fireball is streaking through the skies this month, and NASA is urging folks on the ground to take notice.

February's fireballs — a term that describes meteors that appear brighter in the sky than Venus — aren't more numerous than normal, but their appearance and trajectory are odd, experts say.

"These fireballs are particularly slow and penetrating," meteor expert Peter Brown, a physics professor at the University of Western Ontario, said in a statement. "They hit the top of the atmosphere moving slower than 15 kilometers per second (33,500 mph), decelerate rapidly and make it to within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of Earth's surface."


Feb. 22 2012 [link to science.nasa.gov]

Snip; In the middle of the night on February 13th, something disturbed the animal population of rural Portal, Georgia. Cows started mooing anxiously and local dogs howled at the sky. The cause of the commotion was a rock from space.

"At 1:43 AM Eastern, I witnessed an amazing fireball," reports Portal resident Henry Strickland. "It was very large and lit up half the sky as it fragmented. The event set dogs barking and upset cattle, which began to make excited sounds. I regret I didn't have a camera; it lasted nearly 6 seconds."

Strickland witnessed one of the unusual "Fireballs of February."









March first 2011; [link to science.nasa.gov]

Snip; Every day about 100 tons of meteoroids -- fragments of dust and gravel and sometimes even big rocks – enter the Earth's atmosphere. Stand out under the stars for more than a half an hour on a clear night and you'll likely see a few of the meteors produced by the onslaught. But where does all this stuff come from? Surprisingly, the answer is not well known.

Now NASA is deploying a network of smart cameras across the United States to answer the question, What's Hitting Earth?

Did that meteor you saw blazing through the sky last night come from the asteroid belt? Was it created in a comet's death throes? Or was it a piece of space junk meeting a fiery demise?

"When I get to work each morning and power up my computer, there's an email waiting with answers," says William Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "And I don't have to lift a finger, except to click my mouse button."


Groups of smart cameras in the new meteor network triangulate the fireballs' paths, and special software1 uses the data to compute their orbits and email Cooke his morning message.

way way less then 50% on all snips

There's a reason for that too just as you have already mentioned. More people are looking up to the sky, more people report them, etc.

This with that people do not look up at the sky is really common. I have several friends who have never seen the Northern Lights in their life, though it is common here. After they saw it the first time, they began to look up more and has since then seen it many more times. The same has happened with meteors. Especially after what happened in Russia, people have really woken up to.

Last year, David Dunham gave a presentation at Moscow's University of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM) where he went on the record stating (as transcribed by Russia’s Izvestia):

"There is a possibility the asteroid (DA14) will collide with Earth, but further calculation is required to estimate the potential threat and work out how to avert possible disaster. The Earth’s gravitational field will alter the asteroid’s path significantly. Further scrupulous calculation is required to estimate the threat of collision. The asteroid may break into dozens of small pieces, or several large lumps may split from it and burn up in the atmosphere. The type of the asteroid and its mineral structure can be determined by spectral analysis. This will help predict its behavior in the atmosphere and what should be done to prevent the potential threat."

Dunham was written off as an "amateur" and several blogs attempted to debunk him.

But guess what? Dunham was right. And on February 15th the "cosmic coincidece" proved him right.

I still remember how surreal it was to wake up on the morning of Friday February 15th, and almost shit myself silly at the headlines that morning describing the Chelyabinsk meteor.

Dr. Astro had everyone here convinced that nothing was going to happen on February 15, 2012 and he had the audacity to write off David Dunham, who had correctly predicted in Moscow in 2012 that DA14 would be traveling in pieces and that some of these pieces would hit. That's exactly what happened and it has since been confirmed by real astronomers like Tatiana Bordovitsina and Professor Ian Crawford.

NASA has been covering their ass ever since and have their army of shills working overtime on GLP.

The other possibility that I see here is that the government is doing precision tests with hypersonic projectiles launched from gauss guns on high altitude drone/aircraft or satellite platforms. The TPTB might be using the cover story of "asteroids" as a black-op in the eventuality that they decide to launch another godforsaken preemptive war using these new weapons.

That meteor was not connected with the DA14 Asteroid. They have different trajectories and yes, there is evidence for that!
