What's your opinion of this picture, FYI it isn't real so don't get scared and worried about it, it's just an image that i found, and i wanted to hear your opinions on it.\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/images/wallpaper/meteorattacks_small.jpg

There was a meteor shower the last few days, but those happen about once a month or so, with varying intensities, so nothing new there really.  I think there's no reason to think there's a correlation between your animal's behaviour and cosmic events (since there has never been shown to have a correlation before, except during solar eclipses).  Check their food or any stressful factors instead before trying to blame the universe.

So how is YEC even a remote possibility in light of the massive meteors that have crashed into earth? I'm not debating the "age" of the meteor, not yet at least. \n\nHow is it possible, in a 6-10k time span that these meteors hit the earth and that mankind survived? There have been 5+ huge meteors that have struck the earth, in addition there have been over 140+ large meteors that have also hit the earth. The reason I bring up the 5 is that each of those five, by itself, is an extinction level meteor. Meaning that when it hit the earth, the entire earth was effected by it. \n\nIn otherwords it's simply not even remotely possible that the earth is around 10k years old. It has to be older, unless there is some explanation of how mankind was able to survive these meteor strikes. There certainly isn't any biblical support for the strikes. I'll admit there is some biblical support for possible meteor strikes, but there isn't any for meteors this massive. \n\nSo how do YEC explain them? For the most part, it seems that the YEC I've encountered have simply ignored them.

Okay, again, lots of answers, getting nowhere.\n\nFirst of all let me tell you I am the Chief Meteorologist of a local news/weather forum, just so you know I`m a credible source.\n\n\n--My answer--\nI was at a meteorological science convention with a few of my peers not too long ago.  This was one of the "tests" that came up.\nAs the last post said, it is RELATIVELY rare (only occurring in 6 out of 20 studies)......... but it did happen.  Electricity was successfully transferred from the plumbing system of the test bathroom, to the sensors inside the "man" in the shower.\n\n**Bottom Line**\nStay off the phone, stay off the computer, stay out of the tub........ just sit and enjoy mother nature, as she does her work.\n\n\nTake care...\nWeather_Wise911

I havent had an encounter.... but I have seen one. It was hanging over a highway at night.We drove directly under it, and it was no higher up than a treetop. The object was triangular in shape, with rounded corners. There were colored lights along the inside of the triangle. It made no noise as we went under it, and on the way home, my friend said it wasnt there. For those of you that answered my question about ufo's, whether you believe me or not, I was not on anything, and wasnt drinking. I know what I saw.

I actually saw a huge meteor 2 nights ago crossing East to West.  This year's show was not predicted to be much, I was very surprised to see this large flaming fireball.  A meteor is a piece of rock debris which in huge amounts constitute the tail of a comet.

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?

I would try checking the meteorobs mailing list. And perhaps posting about your sighting to the list.\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/\n\nThere's also a fireball log here:\n\nhttp://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2006.html\n\nUpdate: Turns out you weren't alone. There's a bunch of sightings posted in the fireball log I posted above as well as an update that was posted to spaceweather.com\n\n"On Nov. 28th, in a split-second of total coincidence, a meteoroid the same size as the Lunar Leonid plunged to Earth over the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. What happened? Nothing. It disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. A local security camera captured this movie of the beautiful fireball."\n\nAnd here's the movie they are referring to:\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2006/03dec06/huntsville.asf

Several points.\n\n1. Did you notice that there was smoke on the asteroid? How can you have wispy smoke where there is no atmosphere?\n\n2. The one bozo goes "space happy" and starts firing a gigantic weapon on the asteroid. Excuse me? Why would you bring artillery with you on this mission. What did they expect to find -- Martians? If time is of the essense, why would you even bother to unpack it and set it up? Does any of this make ANY sense at all???\n\n3. The specific gravity on an asteroid would make conventional movement as depicted in this film impossible. There's no way they could drive around and do the things they do in such low gravity.\n\n4. the concept of a single nuclear warhead splitting in two an asteroid the size of texas is simply beyond the pale of accepted physics. If that were possible, the repeated underground nuclear tests conducted by the government in Nevada years ago would have split California off from the continent decades ago.\n\n5. During the trip to the moon, the people are experiencing g-forces that would compress any living thing to protoplasm. It is physically impossible to survive the calculated g-forces the film puts them through. And yet -- two things-- ONE: they continue to be able to speak (which means they have complete control of their breathing -- an impossibility), and TWO: people who are totally out of shape like these wildcatters somehow survive it -- an ABSOLUTE impossibility). \n\nThere are probably tons of other mistakes in this turkey, but this is all I can recall off the top of my head. I've tried to blot this film from my memory, and this is the best I can do. Hope it's enough.

Thank you for posting the link, i never knew that it was there. there are some Fantastic pictures in this site.\nWhy are there not more pictures like these being showed to the world media.\njust go'es to show you how ONE SIDED the media really is.\nshow Blood,Body's,Explosion's,Devastated town's,Burning buildings. Certainly they will show them a hundred times over.\nNever do you see the Allied troop's doing anything positive.\nFreedom of the press, yes to only print what they want.\nand not what could print or should.\nAgain thank you for the LINK.

There is a woman scientist now exploring an indentation of rock (forget where) who claims there is evidence that just about everything, including and especially human beings, are from outer space.  She has been denied funding repeatedly, she says, because of bias and religious protection.  I wish I could recall the name of the show...it was on The Discovery Channel about a month ago.  Pretty interesting premise for those of us that do not subscribe to the available written texts concerning how life came to be on this planet.  Honestly tho, I don't think we will know any time soon.  In the case that the major religions are wrong, everything we know would be upturned and there would most likely be chaos among all people.  Maybe it's better if we're left to wonder.

This could be a reason:\n\nMoon Storms\n\nAn old Apollo experiment is telling researchers something new and surprising about the moon.\n\nDecember 7, 2005: Every lunar morning, when the sun first peeks over the dusty soil of the moon after two weeks of frigid lunar night, a strange storm stirs the surface.\n\nThe next time you see the moon, trace your finger along the terminator, the dividing line between lunar night and day. That's where the storm is. It's a long and skinny dust storm, stretching all the way from the north pole to the south pole, swirling across the surface, following the terminator as sunrise ceaselessly sweeps around the moon.\n\nNever heard of it? Few have. But scientists are increasingly confident that the storm is real.\n\nThe evidence comes from an old Apollo experiment called LEAM, short for Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites. "Apollo 17 astronauts installed LEAM on the moon in 1972," explains Timothy Stubbs of the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "It was designed to look for dust kicked up by small meteoroids hitting the moon's surface." \n\nRight: The box in the foreground is the Lunar Ejecta and Meteorites Experiment (LEAM). [More]\n\nBillions of years ago, meteoroids hit the moon almost constantly, pulverizing rocks and coating the moon's surface with their dusty debris. Indeed, this is the reason why the moon is so dusty. Today these impacts happen less often, but they still happen.\n\nApollo-era scientists wanted to know, how much dust is ejected by daily impacts? And what are the properties of that dust? LEAM was to answer these questions using three sensors that could record the speed, energy, and direction of tiny particles: one each pointing up, east, and west.\n\nLEAM's three-decade-old data are so intriguing, they're now being reexamined by several independent groups of NASA and university scientists. Gary Olhoeft, professor of geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, is one of them:\n\n\n"To everyone's surprise," says Olhoeft, "LEAM saw a large number of particles every morning, mostly coming from the east or west--rather than above or below--and mostly slower than speeds expected for lunar ejecta."\n\nWhat could cause this? Stubbs has an idea: "The dayside of the moon is positively charged; the nightside is negatively charged." At the interface between night and day, he explains, "electrostatically charged dust would be pushed across the terminator sideways," by horizontal electric fields. (Learn more: "Moon Fountains." ) \nEven more surprising, Olhoeft continues, a few hours after every lunar sunrise, the experiment's temperature rocketed so high--near that of boiling water--that "LEAM had to be turned off because it was overheating."\n\nThose strange observations could mean that "electrically-charged moondust was sticking to LEAM, darkening its surface so the experiment package absorbed rather than reflected sunlight," speculates Olhoeft.\n\nBut nobody knows for sure. LEAM operated for a very short time: only 620 hours of data were gathered during the icy lunar night and a mere 150 hours of data from the blazing lunar day before its sensors were turned off and the Apollo program ended.\n\nAstronauts may have seen the storms, too. While orbiting the Moon, the crews of Apollo 8, 10, 12, and 17 sketched "bands" or "twilight rays" where sunlight was apparently filtering through dust above the moon's surface. This happened before each lunar sunrise and just after each lunar sunset. NASA's Surveyor spacecraft also photographed twilight "horizon glows," much like what the astronauts saw.\n\n\n\nIt's even possible that these storms have been spotted from Earth: For centuries, there have been reports of strange glowing lights on the moon, known as "lunar transient phenomena"

Good.  It's always fun seeing bright meteors (meteors are the streak you see in the sky;  a meteorite is the term used for such an object that survives it's plunge into the atmosphere and strikes the ground; a meteoroid is the same object still in open space).  Quite likely what you saw was one of the Orionids, especially if it seemed to eminate from the constellation Orion.  Those particular meteors are very fast and can be very bright.  The Orionids were pretty spectacular this year...I saw 5 of them in about 10 minutes during the peak.

Have you ever looked at the sky and seen a shooting star?\n\nThese are meteors burning up as the enter the atmosphere.  Is this what you are talking about?

I'm very much a realist, but I have one story I cannot expalin.\n\nI was watching what I thought was a helicopter off the coast of Maine.  It was hovering and slowly moving around an island roughly seven miles away.  It was late afternoon, so the light was fantastic and the air, for once, was very clear.\n\nThis object slid back and forth maybe 3000-4000 feet high (triangulate from the distance) and then it did two strange things:  it sort of oscillated in a tight radius back and forth, like lint getting sucked down a bath drain, and then it just winked out of sight.  It didn't exactly disappear all at once, rather, it kind of took a moment or two.  I thought it might had slipped into a fog bank, but there was no fog; I could see distant color in the sky.\n\nI don't think about this experience so much anymore.  But I do get chills when I do recall that day.  I have no explanation, and I offer no theories.  But that's my story.
