Russian Meteor Shower 15-2-2013

If NASA faked the moon landings, does the agency have any credibility at all? Was the Space Shuttle program also a hoax? Is the International Space Station another one? Do not dismiss these hypotheses offhand. Check out our wider NASA research and make up your own mind about it all.

Russian Meteor Shower 15-2-2013

Unread post by nonhocapito »

So apparently 400 people are injured following a shower of meteorite fragments over a city in the Urals, Chelyabinsk.
Here's a bit of video. There's many of them apparently.

Other than a general fear-mongering combined with the need to empower our great rulers of even more authority over us and our consciences, this is serving to hype the fear around the specific event of an asteroid due near earth today : http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/07/us/as ... ach-earth/

The video above resembles so much any Hollywood bullshit we know that it is almost redundant to call fakery, at least based on just this sample. Maybe other sources will seem more credible.

According to wicked
Chelyabinsk has had a long association (since the 1940s) with top-secret nuclear research, though this is more properly applicable to Chelyabinsk Oblast as a whole, as nuclear facilities such as Chelyabinsk-70 (Snezhinsk) are, or were, located far outside the city.
Safe to say this is probably a highly militarized zone, where, possibly, it wouldn't be that hard to fake such an event.
And it might not be coincidental that it was Medvedev to say not long ago that "UFOs are among us". Just another way to hype the "fear of space" i.e. one of the most unjustified, wasteful fears to keep humans busy with.

Nonho,

That Youtube video has already been removed by the user? :huh:

Anyhow, here it is on "La Repubblica" :

Is the grunt we hear from the car occupant(s) the Russian, flegmatic equivalent of "OOOOOHHH MYYY GAAAWWD"? :P

Here's a hilarious compilation of "amateur-and-CCTV imagery" - Russian pop music soundtracks and all! :lol:
You've gotta admire those Russian commuters' self-control as they witness the sky exploding over their heads. Not a peep is heard! Must be due to that tough climate freezing their blood vessels!

VIDEO COMPILATION: http://video.repubblica.it/mondo/russia ... 551/118031


Now, anyone who wishes to believe in this umpteenth media fable is free to do so. However, you will then have to accept that a gigantic meteor flash will make the tarmac of this road reflect the flash ...

...and turn to an ominous shade of 'orange' - while the snow remains chromatically unaffected : :rolleyes:

The obligatory "evil face in smoke"...

We are told it was a VERY LOUD event - which shattered "100,000 square meters of windows", damaged 3,000 buildings, including 34 medical facilities and 361 schools and kindergartens - and injured 950 people (so far).

:huh: So do we hear any LOUD BLAST in the above "amateur" videos? Any sound at all - apart from Russian pop music?



I love how this article calls it "a sudden cosmic attack" - and mentions "Unidentified Flying Objects" ^_^ :
The Russian Urals region has been stricken by a sudden cosmic attack. Unidentified flying objects exploded over several major cities, including Chelyabinsk, where the blast waves blew out windows and disrupted mobile connections.

­The Emergency Ministry said the incident was caused by a shower of meteorite debris. Unconfirmed reports suggested that a meteorite was shot down by Russian air defenses (!!??). Multiple dashboard videos appeared online, showing huge fireballs flying over buildings and exploding with a strong blast. A local zinc factory was the worst-hit, with some of its walls collapsed.

A factory collapsed???... I can't wait to see pictures of that meteorite! Oh well, I guess it vaporized...

Yes, Haze: there are 'unconfirmed reports' circulating - that the Russian military shot down the thing... <_<

I had some Russian at school plus Polish is a slavic language as well .

Looks like the guy said :

1. Ni Huja znatz shto eta - No fuck knows what it was

2. Vidieli blatz? - Have you fucking seen it ?

Than he goes saying "Pizdet " what can be translated as Fuck , shit etc.

Basically they sounded too calm as for people being witnesses to meteorite shower . People around in the street didn't seem to give a "blatz" either :)

Thanks, BTO. Well, their composure is quite impressive - they must have some killer weed up there. Mind you, they got 'stoned' by a meteorite, didn't they? ^_^

Yeah, fancy that... the meteor lost in the lake. And look at that near-perfect circle in the ice. Mmmmm <_<

And I saw on the news a dodgy mobile phone video of a classroom with its windows blown out during class. How lucky that pupil was videoing their class at the precise time, or for that matter was allowed to have and use a mobile phone in the classroom at all.

These psyops...

No blast sound in any of the videos. And, apparently, in Russia you just keep on driving when the sky explodes. No stopping to see what the hell is going on, you don't slow down, hell this is so common you don't even comment on it. Just keep on driving at a steady pace.

This dude with his high res camera must have some amazing reflexes. But that's not surprising since the inhabitants of this town treat this as an everyday event. The photographer has probably learned by now to go for the camera on his hip the second he sees some light oddities in the sky and catch a pulitzer winning picture crisp as a red carpet celebrity.
