Air Force remains silent after huge meteor hits near US military base

[MindWars]

A meteor hit the earth and exploded with 2.1 kilotons of force last month, but the US Air Force has made no mention of the event. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland, just 43 kilometres north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base on the 25th of July, 2018. Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen, tweeted about the impact, but America’s Air

Well isn't that a comfy feeling. . Good thing it wasn't. NY city or heavily populated area.

Imagine the impact if this would have been like the incident Russia had a few years ago when a meterorite hit them.

That's a real small rock as far as space rocks go and we can't detect them until very close to the Earth, even later if coming from the direction of the Sun and no way of doing anything about them. If they don't burn up, they are going to hit whatever they hit and not anything we can do about it.

Meteor? How big is the crater? I've been to Meteor Crater in Arizona and know how big a crater a small meteor can make so, umm, how big is the crater and did it break off any smaller rocks, like the one in Arizona did.

This is a little bit stinky.

It exploded in the atmosphere. It didn't hit the ground.

Over the whole surface area of Earth, it is estimated that between 18,000 to 84,000 meteorites bigger than 10 grams per year. But most meteorites are too small to actually fall all the way to the surface.

(This study was led by P. A. Bland and was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.)

That's how big it was. Bigger than you mom's penis.

It WASNT a grain of sand, but it did explode before it hit the ground. GOD gave us an amazing system to protect us, until He decides were not worthy of His protection.

I'd take it as a sign

"DONT MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!"--God

The average weight of a grain of silica sand is 0.011 grams. Several thousand meteorites a thousand times larger than a grain of sand hit the Earth each year.

A meteorite of only 10g would have a resultant force of 720 newtons or 73Kg-force.
