They're Shooting at Chelyabinski
Crap - Brent, I had to write it down before I spelled the name of the city correctly for the post lol. YOU WOULD p ut it in the s ubject line. Your links are very interesting. Seems Russia is having all the fun (not counting the inju ries from falling glass yesterday) . Okay, I'm just throwing this out for a "hmmmmm" thought exercise. Are the three events connected? Russia gets a fireball, ISON passes closest approach and San Francisco reports a daytime fireball? Is it possible ISON has broken up and little pieces are ahead and behind and some are reaching earth? Sort of like a smaller Shoemaker/Levy 9? Of course, there is no way to prove it. But it just seems odd they all occur so close together. It made me go hmmmmmm.
Do you mean 2012 DA14 or ISON? Dave On Feb 16, 2013, at 1:32 PM, jcarman6@q.com wrote:

The orbits are different; that's pretty ironclad proof that they are unrelated. And I think Dave is right, you've confused the comet with the asteroid. I read a statement from a NASA official the other day who confirmed that events like the Russian fall are not uncommon and happen up to several times a year, but usually over open ocean or uninhabited areas.
