10 And the disciples asked him,"Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" 11 He answered, "Elijah does come, and he will restore all things.12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
And we have fragments now from three of these fireballs,
the one in Germany, Ohio, and now Texas. And they can also create
these sonic booms. That shock wave can shake houses.
And of course, people can hear it. They can feel it.
So, this is quite significant.
This is the latest one over Texas.
This we got this from a live stream of a baseball match
and we see it coming down there.
Uh it also got picked up on satellite imagery
because as this meteor is coming in
it is creating plasma in the atmosphere.
1:40
So actually shows up as a lightning strike
from some of our observations from space.
So this would be our go east
satellite looking at Texas.
So, uh, this is quite significant.
Again, the latest
in a long stream of fireballs
that we've been encountering,
not associated with any debris stream.
I'll talk about where I think
that these may be from, though.
2:02
I've talked about before.
You probably already know
the answer if you've been watching.
But here we have Louisiana.
This is the 2nd of March.
So, this is really the first sighting
that was out of the ordinary uh going back. Now, we
had a couple fireball sightings in February from the United States.
We'll look at the list, but this is the first one.
It's like, okay, maybe something's
a little weird here.
Then Washington on the 3rd of March,
we see this one come in. Okay, so yeah, the 2nd of March, the
3rd of March.
Now, let's go to Germany on the 8th of March,
we'll see this fireball here streaking across the sky.
2:39
A long lived event.
fragments and pieces of this were recovered
because it crashed into a house in northern
Germany. So, uh, that's fantastic that we actually have some of these meteorite fragments. And really, what we need to do is analyze all the three different
samples that we've collected prologically
and also geochemically to see if they're the same or different,
right? What are the differences, if there are any?
Here we see Pennsylvania on the 9th of March.
So just a day after Germany,
we had a fireball sighting over Pennsylvania.
Now we go to New York on the 11th,
a big fireball right around
3:18
midnight there.
So that's New York on the 11th.
And then we have our fireball over Ohio on the 17th.
This created a big sonic boom. Exploded with the force of 250 tons of TNT. is estimated to be about six feet across and weigh about seven tons.So this is the biggest event of the bunch based off of what I know.
3:43
And then of course going back to our latest
we have here Texas size 1 foot across weight about one ton exploded
energy about 26 tons of TNT and fragments
have been recovered from these.
Let me show you well at least
some of them. Let me show you these fragments. Uh we have them right here.
So these are three photos. Here we see the first one which is Germany. Okay. So
uh you'll notice the fusion crust on the outside. So the black is where it was being exposed to the atmosphere and it was melting. The white is the actual
meteorite material. Okay? So keep that in mind. And then we can look at our follow-up with Ohio the 17th. Uh, we think that this is associated with it.
4:31
We don't exactly know, right? There's some ambiguity. The German one is pretty sure because it crashed into a house. So then you kind of know when you find a a piece of rock sticking in your wall.
It's probably it, right? It's like a catcher's mitt. This uh this exploded over a large area in Ohio. We think that this is associated with that fireball.
4:51
And you notice that it looks fairly similar to what we have with Germany. Of course, there is similarity with meteorites and asteroids and stuff in space, but this is kind of key that they're not looking dramatically different because there is a lot of variation at the same time with asteroids.
5:05
Now, we see our fragment recovered from a home in Texas.
Uh, and so we see the fusion crust on the
outside. Notice the inside with that modeled white gray color.
So, they're all looking very, very similar. That's
kind of the key thing I want to show you here.
They're all looking very similar.
5:23
We need to do a proper analysis of these fragments to see
if they are separate or perhaps they are the same because if
they are the same
then we are in a debris stream that is uh basically unknown
though I think I know what it
may be at least it's a hypothesis that's worthy of exploration.
Here we see our NASA skyfall database and we just scroll
down andwhat we're primarily interested here
is just the uh occurrences.
Now this is not for the entire world.
5:54
Something to keep in mind is that uh you know
these fireballs that we've seen
have been over populated areas.
If these are the ones that we've been seeing,
how many have been flying in
over completely uninhabited
parts of the world of the oceans,
Antarctica, and more. Right?
(Said the same exact thing to honey
well before ever coming across this video
and the answer is simple:
TONS OF THEM!)
6:08
There could be there very likely is
if this is connected to a debris stream
way more of these fireballs flying in than
we currently are aware of.
(Not this community.)
But here we can see the list going back.
So we have the 21st, the 17th, 11th, 9th, 4th, 3rd of March,
just like described.
6:27
Louisiana, you can read the list. Okay,
6:29
we have a couple here in February.
We see the 3rd of February,
the 11th of February right here.
Uh, and then we
6:36
have a bit of a clustering there in December.
You see four different events there for December.
Well, we encounter the Gemini meteor stream in December,
6:46
right in this time frame about the the 5th to the 20th of December.
So, this is most likely associated with that. I mean,
I have to go through every single
6:54
one here and look at them.
Uh, maybe one of them is just an oddball,
but they typically will talk about where they
7:00
think it came from. Um,
so the fact that we have four clustering
in that time period
where there's a very well-known meteor stream that we encounter.
7:09
So that's what it is.
But if you look at these,
you'll see it basically say like,
uh, we don't know what this is from.
7:17
There's no currently active meteor shower
part of the sporadic background meteor complex.
Well, if it's part of the sporadic background, yeah,
7:25
the word sporadic implies
that there is some level of uh variability there,
but this isn't sporadic
at this at this point because
we're getting way more
than we would think.
Another key clue here in my mind as it relates to what
this is from is the fact that this is now stretching over 20 days.
And if we continue to see these fireball sightings
through the rest of March and into April
(Or longer)
7:50
then I think this hypothesis that I'm going to propose
is more likely to be true. At least there's more weight in
its court because you see here our solar system,
the inner solar system there.
8:02
Here we have Jupiter.
You see interstellar object three atlas, i
t flew through our inner solar system back in
October and November.
And one key thing to keep in mind with it
is that it was very closely aligned to the ecliptic
plane where all the planets traveled through only 5 degrees off.
So when it was making its perihelion
with the sun back on October 29th, it was right along
the ecliptic plane. You can see it's this trajectory there in purple.
Now it's slightly below.
When it was further out, it was slightly above, but in that
inner uh planet transit, it was right on the ecliptic plane as you can see.
8:42
Well look at where we are right now.
Okay, so Earth is passing through
this debris stream
8:50
and this is actually set a little ahead.
Let's go back to today, the 22nd of March.
And we see that we are right
now at the closest to the orbit that three i Atlas
or the trajectory that this
9:04
interstellar object passed through.
So it did not cut directly through Earth's orbit thankfully because three i Atlas
was very very active. It's the largest interstellar object that we've ever seen.
Uh only the third one isvery very active with a lot of jets,
"Early data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), taken on May 7 to June 2, 2025 (accessible here), suggests that 3I/ATLAS may have been active with a surrounding glow of scattered sunlight already at a much larger heliocentric distance of 6 times the Earth-Sun separation. At that distance, the warming of water ice by sunlight is insufficient to trigger cometary activity.
