There are several other videos on youtube showing what looks like the same event.

This sounds like BS:

"According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo reportedly blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers."

Yes, that would be complete and utter non-sense.

Bolides explode all by themselves and it would be virtually impossible to launch an intercept with the zero notice the military would have by any technology anyone currently has.

I have it on good authority that it's the first wave of an attack on Earth by THEM, and you're all fools if you don't believe it.

In the meantime, I'm prepared.

INteresting. And coinciding with the asteroid fly by today.

I wonder if that had happened here would our nukes have launched in response?

Please don't dent the planet.

I'd certainly toss that football.
Where should we target?

If a meteor came over a city? I'd hope not... and where'd you aim for - the Kaipur belt? ;-)

It already has happened, but with no nukes fired.

I recall a fairly large one over SoCal in the 60s. What I find interesting is think people recognized it for what it was back then and didn't jump to wild speculation.

No no. I think back in the day under the psychology of Mutual Assured Destruction our nukes would launch automatically if they were threatened. Launch at their targets...not at the meteor.

"And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision-making process which rules out human meddling, the Doomsday machine is terrifying and simple to understand... and completely credible and convincing. Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh?

I saw the Park Forest meteorite in 2003 (Park Forest is about 5 miles from my house). That was very impressive with a very loud boom that shook the windows, but tiny compared to this event.

Can't be coincidence.

Confirmation bias.

The reality is, the serious shit happens all over the planet. When it comes to meteors the evidence is usually subtle due to erosion, but in some cases it's not.

There's a great example in Arizona.

Oh, I don't think so. I think there's an actual plan.

So for all the times people have ranted "You're more likely to be hit by a meteor than win the Powerball!..."

There are now several hundred people on the wrong side of that equation. Does that mean my individual chances of winning the lottery have gone up?

No. That's part of what is known as "Gambler's Fallacy."

The odds remain the same for each individual roll of the dice.

Three times - it IS enemy action!

What I'm wondering about is if the last time 2012DA14 passed by Earth a few chunks didnt get torn off and ended up making a train of objects similar to what hit Jupiter with comet Shoemaker.

That while we are now confident about 2012DA14 and all known objects like it, there may turn out to be smaller leading and trailing debris we should consider as well with very large ones that are projected to come close but we know aren't going to hit.

That's what THEY want us to think. It's the perfect cover.
