Explosion over Kentucky?
 
Did anyone here hear it? If you did, can you tell me what you saw/heard/smelt, anything else of value? Apparently it's only just happened in the past few hours.

Get your cameras out too!

An explosion? o=

Uber-Kitten 02-14-2009 09:32 PM

What happened? jeeze, whats up with all the crashes and crap going down lately?

kerryfox 02-14-2009 09:54 PM

Now this is interesting, wonder what it could have been...
I know when I lived at home every once in a blue moon some one would try and break the sound barrier flying jet (the military gets really upset when they have some one do that >>; ) and you would get a horribly loud crack because of that.

Keep us posted cause now I am wondering too!

From what I can gather, last night (13th in America) in the southern part of the US (Kentucky, Tennessee) people were reporting bright lights, earthquake like rumbles and other interesting events. The lights ranged in color from

I AM IN SE KY AND THERE WAS JUST A BIG BOOM AND A BIG SHAKE!!

SCANNER IS GOING WILD, SOME CALLS REPORTED SOMETHING FALLING FROM THE SKY,

OTHERS ARE SAYING AN EARTHQUAKE......


IT WAS FELT AND HEARD FROM SE KY TO JELLICO TN..
Supposedly it was satellites crashing, that's the official word so far, but I've looked into it and it seems that the satellites crashed the night BEFORE. On the date February 10, 2009. (Source: http://www.n2yo.com/collision-betwee...satellites.php )



There was something in y neck of the woods BEFORE the collision.

Coast Explosion A Mystery ( Australian Gold Coast)

February 6th, 2009,

AUTHORITIES are baffled by a mystery explosion that shook the ground around Guanaba, west of the Gold Coast, last night.

A spokesman for the seismological office in Brisbane said their instruments had not recorded any ground shockwaves, despite [b[ dozens of residents reporting hearing a loud noise and vibrations.[b/]

The spokesman said a sonic boom, made by an aircraft going through the sound barrier, may have been the cause.

``There's nothing seismic on the records,'' he said.

``I've looked through continuous data from our recorder at Beenleigh around the estimated time of the shock waves and nothing has appeared, which means it wasn't an earthquake but there are still other possibilities.

``We've previously had a history of things reported from people in that area that they thought was an earthquake and we've tracked it down to a sonic boom.''

Air force jets are the only planes capable of breaking the sound barrier and there has so far been no response to inquiries to the air force base at Amberley.

The seismology office spokesman said he believed air force pilots were not supposed to exceed the speed of sound over land, but sometimes it happened just before they headed their aircraft offshore.

``The results are people will feel windows shaking, that kind of thing,'' he said.

``Our instruments only pick up sound and ground vibrations.

``My understanding is that they're only allowed to break the sound barrier when flying over the ocean but over land they're not allowed to go that fast.''

Bright light seen going across East Tennessee night sky likely a meteor
Updated: 2/14/2009 1:28:03 PM


Many viewers have contacted 10 News since Friday evening saying they saw a bright light go across the sky at about 10 p.m. Friday evening.

Some described the light as a greenish color, others said it was white, and some said it had a blue appearance.

Paul Lewis, University of Tennessee Space Science Outreach program director, did not see the light, but said the descriptions he received indicate it may have been a meteor.

We are not in the midst of a meteor shower at this time, but Lewis said random meteors do come down periodically.

From a description of the angle of the light and because it went across the sky, Lewis believes the meteor would have probably touched down hundreds of miles away from East Tennessee, but more likely burned up in the atmosphere.

Lewis is not sure what debris would have been contained in the meteor, but said it is probably too soon to include debris from the satellite collision that happened nearly 500 miles above Siberia on Tuesday.

Yeap I am in SE Kentucky (Pikeville) to be exact and I have heard that it is just satellites crashing and falling to the earth.... but they also might be hidding something.... ::looks around for little green men::

Trystan 02-14-2009 10:48 PM

it could be that the meteriorite broke the speed of sound before it crashed :o

that would have to be one hell of a heavy meteorite though.

D3nis3 02-14-2009 10:50 PM

wow I never heard any of this

It's not that, I know that for certain. The satellites crashed on the 10th over Northern Siberia. And they aren't crashing to earth. You can track their path here:

Edit: If you're in America, you can see the debris of one of the satallites now! Cosmos is passing over America and Canada.

I'm convinced that whatever it was, nobody wants to officially talk about it. Within a half-hour last night of the "big bang" the analog scanner frequencies went pretty much silent last night. Apparently there was a huge fire out around Lily, and I didn't hear one peep about that on the scanners (which I normally would pick up with ease, as I live within a mile of the dispatch center). All conversations switched over to the kentucky state police digital radio systems, and others switched to their encrypted cell phones.

One guy swears he saw a guy in an air force uniform driving a van and buying tons of gatorade at Speedway last night too, which is odd.
If you've been seeing things and want to post something but don't want to be laughed at, feel free to PM me... I'll do it in quotes like the above message.

Rorschach 02-14-2009 11:55 PM

This is how disaster movies start. 8D Personally I don't live anywhere near Kentucky so I'll just be here watching the discussion.

Vickicat 02-15-2009 12:15 AM

Explosion.
 
o_o;;; Weird. I have relatives in that area of Kentucky and I didn't hear about it.

Dude, if there are little green men, take a nice, clear picture to post and I SWEAR I'll never bop you with a pillow on our Skull raids. D:

kerryfox 02-15-2009 01:16 AM

Ses That site is interesting! This just becomes more and more of a mystery dosen't it XP

Ses 02-15-2009 02:25 AM

Mm, it does. In particular, the way the emergancy services have encoded their communication. Apparently they did originally report a crashed plane but withdrew that report soon atfer. And it is strange that they'd have to hide what they're saying... usually they're happy for people to listen to communication between firefighters, ambos and police, it helps people be prepared. (Esspically in the case of a wild fire as someone originally heard about) Plus media don't harrass them for infomation, the media can listen in.
By encoding, it makes it more difficult, the firefighters/ambos/police have the problem of passwords and so on.

Someone could contact the hospitals in the area. If it WAS a plane crash then they would have had to alert the hospitals so they could prepare for that senario, and then let them know it was a false alarm... but if it's a fire, a metorite, a crashed plane, a crashed something else, the hospital is bound to know.

It could just be a metorite but they seem to be acting out a 'worst case senario' situation by encoding their equipment.

kerryfox 02-15-2009 02:35 AM

I could understand it to keep panic in hand. I have worked in a few situations where it is practical to keep information tight so you don't have every one in a panic or as our situation had people organizing multiple operations that were counter productive to solving the situation.
I think to if it has gone higher up in the chain of command you would lose the local chatter on radios.

Smellerbee 02-15-2009 02:38 AM

They may have encoded their communication because it's something serious and they don't want people interrupting.

Didn't a Russian satellite and US satellite crash into each other? I read that they were worried that it would cause other nearby satellites to crash.

Ses 02-15-2009 03:00 AM

Well, they usually do encode it in a way so that only radios on the right frequency can inturrupt... but it's public to listen to. They've taken it a step further this time so that it's also unhearable.

Yeah, that happened on the 10th though. That was several days before this happened and you can track the rubble's progress through the link I gave.

kerryfox 02-15-2009 03:17 AM

Might have been some of it dropping out of orbit. They had some pretty big pieces form the report.

Suzhi Mix 02-15-2009 03:59 AM

hmmm this sounds interesting,. though im not near Kentucky, so I'll just be reading others posts..

amyrex2 02-15-2009 04:04 AM

Wow, I live near near where the plane went down...um yeah alot of people are really upset here. I would much rather be able to go look for green men.

Nocere 02-15-2009 04:42 AM

I honestly hadn't heard about this at all. I tend to avoid the news, so I guess I missed it. It all sounds pretty sketchy to me. At least they're making up possible explanations.

Ses 02-15-2009 06:19 AM

It's only been on local news in the area, hasn't made any other news. lol

yar im pocky 02-15-2009 05:09 PM

:o I hope my grandpa is alright. He lives there.

-=-Queen Nyx-=- 02-15-2009 06:42 PM

Wow. People will probably chalk that up to Friday the 13th. Seems to be the trend at least.

I'm surprised I didn't hear about it before. AOL is usually quick on the draw with these things...

dianakitsune 02-15-2009 11:57 PM

woah, I didn't hear anything about this, Kind of crazy if ya ask me. It's the end of the world as we know it! XD
