isitafox Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just watched a meteor fly overhead at work, was travelling really slowly which made me wonder what the hell it was but a quick enquiry on facebook and google revealed all. Was bloody massive, looked just like someone nearby had let off a firework in slow motion. Alien invasion time???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 cock...great to see in Edinburgh as well apparently. You'd think the BBC would have been all over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yup, I s**t myself at first as couldn't find anything about it for the first few minutes and somehow none of the drivers down here spotted it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I was going to go for a night ride so would have potentially seen it, but decided not to...That's ruined my evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I saw it, it shit me the hell up to be honest. I've spotted another tiny shooting star since too. I'm actually quite worried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's clearly the warm up to the end of the world scheduled at 2012. Even an apocalypse needs a dress rehearsal or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually quite worried! What worried me is I tweeted my wife's cousin (who co wrote this with Sir Patrick Moore) and he didn't know anything about it. Usually the media is all over when stuff like this is gonna happen?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 For those who missed it, it must have been a pretty epic sight... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19683728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the media is all over when stuff like this is gonna happen?! Thats kinda what i was thinking when i saw it. "Why haven't i saw this on the news... Must be aliens", but on the other hand if something that big got through without warning, what's next?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 But what about if it were a bigger one that could have caused damage? Would we have had a warning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 But what about if it were a bigger one that could have caused damage? Would we have had a warning? Space is a pretty big place you know. I don't think every little piece of debris is account for yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 There was a warning. There are warnings all the time, but no-one takes any notice. Well not so much a warning as a forecast for meteor activity at the end of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Heard that it might have been a satellite burning up hence all the different colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I did wonder why there wasn't much/any warnings. I would loved to have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Do you know if anyone reported it to any news sites as you would expect SKY news or BBC would be all over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
