SOTT Focus: Was the West, Texas Explosion a Meteor Impact?

Not 'al-qaeda', the CIA, or the Branch Davidians this time.
The whole world seems content to assume that, because the Texas explosion two days ago occurred at a fertilizer factory, it must have been fertilizer that caused the explosion. The problem with that theory is that the factory in question did not stock the commonly used fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, which is a solid, prone to exploding (with the proper ignition source) and is widely used by farmers and bomb makers (both the legal and illegal kinds). What the factory did stock was anhydrous ammonium, a gas, that is less volatile and, when ignited, less likely to explode with such force as seen at the West plant. For this reason, all mainstream media reports that have attempted to explain the explosion have been forced to refer to ammonium nitrate, despite the fact that there was no ammonium nitrate at the plant. This historical revisionism has already infected Wikipedia (no surprise there), where the West explosion is referred to as having been caused by ammonium nitrate.

Comet

A very bright fireball over southern Poland

(Translated by SOTT)

"On Tuesday evening, a very bright meteor appeared over southern Poland." said Mariusz Wisniewski from the Comet and Meteor Workshop (PKiM) astronomic association. April 16, 2013 at 22:26 the sky over the Polish-Czech-Slovak border was illuminated by a very bright fireball. The fireball has been recorded by many fireball stations in the Polish Fireball Network and also by stations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. An analysis of these recordings is in process. Preliminary estimates lead to the conclusion that this was a very long phenomenon. It was recorded over a distance of nearly 250 km. High-speed entry into the atmosphere and the height at which the fireball vanished exclude a possibility of finding any meteorites.

Eyewitnesses talked about its blue-green color and an apparent visible fragmentation. A photographer from Hungary was extremely lucky. He registered the final phase of the fireball's flight with his camera with telephoto lens. The pictures clearly show the color of the phenomenon, an orange trail left behind, and several clearly separated fragments at the end.

Still no answers for boom heard throughout Bridge City, Texas

A loud boom was heard Monday night in Bridge City around 8:50 p.m. and there are still more questions than answers.

Calls to local law offcials have not found any answers into what exactly caused the loud boom that had people filling up social media sites.

Orange Leader editor Gabriel Pruett, who lives in Bridge City, drove through the town shortly after the boom was heard and saw no signs of an explosion.

"It was a very loud boom," Pruett said. "I was on the phone on my front porch on Birch Street and could not believe the person I was talking to did not hear the noise through the phone.

"The boom shook not only my house but my body and I still felt the vibration in my body 20 minutes later. It definitely packed a punch. There were no power outages from what I saw and Chemical Row and Entergy all looked normal after I drove through the area."

A dispatcher with Bridge City Police Department said on Tuesday plants on Chemical Row in Orange reported no explosions. Monday night an official with Entergy had reported to police there were no explosions at that plant.

Best of the Web: White out! Comet fragment explodes 70 kms above Toledo, Spain - Event seen across whole country


A brilliant ball of flame streaked across the sky above the Spanish capital Madrid, dazzling stargazers and astronomers alike. The celestial display was so bright it could be seen across the entire country.

The eye-popping moment was caught on camera by the Hita Observatory at the University of Huelva at around 11:45pm local time (2145 GMT). The object struck the atmosphere above the Villamuelas district in the province of Toledo, southwest of Madrid.

"The impact was so abrupt that the object immediately caught fire, creating a ball of flame around 100 kilometers above the Earth," Jose Maria Madiedo of the University of Huelva told the Huffington Post. The meteor then shot towards Madrid at over 75,000 kilometers an hour before disintegrating completely at an altitude of 70 kilometers.

The Spanish Institution for the Study of Meteors and Meteorites, which tracked the fireball, classified the meteorite as a piece of a comet that was flying by Earth.


Comment: Flying by Earth? It obviously entered the planet's atmosphere. There have been other occasions in recent years where comet fragments have skimmed the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere and either exploded so far up that few below noticed, or have continued to fly on by. But notice that with each new event, they appear to be reaching closer and closer to the ground...


Comment: "Sparked comparisons"? These celestial events do more than 'spark comparisons'. Each new event fires the curiosity, imagination and alarm bells of millions of people; punches wide gaping holes in the 'reality' of lies built by the psychopathic elites; and hastens the end of their global reign of terror...

'Flaming tennis ball' slides across Adelaide skies

Stargazers say a meteor that floated across Adelaide skies overnight looked like a flaming tennis ball before it disappeared from view.

The object appeared in the sky about 9:30pm, with people from around Birdwood, Norwood, Mannum and Balhannah reporting sightings to ABC Local Radio.

One listener, Barry from Murbko on the River Murray, said he was watching television when he saw the object through his window.

"I saw this ball of flame, it would have been about the size of the moon just above the tree tops," he said.

"It was a flaming ball and it went across the the tree tops at a very low altitude and it wasn't travelling that fast like a shooting star.

"This just took my breath away. It was that incredible I just sat there for ten minutes and couldn't believe what I just saw.

"This was just like a ball of flame, like somebody lit up a tennis ball and hit it with a tennis racquet."
