The fireball meteor was determined to be from the ongoing Delta Aurigid meteor shower and was traveling with a decent of approximately 70 degrees at approximately 34 to 42 kilometers per second or approximately 21-26 miles per second, personal communication Thomas Dorman, USA. If any material actually made it to earth, which is unlikely due to the meteoroid size and velocity, it landed in the Pacific Ocean off Taiwan.
我個人與在美國的Thomas Dorman溝通後,認定火球是來自目前發生中的御夫座δ流星雨 Delta Aurigid,合理估算以70度角和大約每秒34到42公里(21-26英里/秒)的速度行進。假設還有任何殘留物質抵達地面,落點應該在台灣外面的太平洋上,不過以流星的速度和大小來看不太可能有殘留物。

  An auspicious synchronicity occurred as a fireball meteor entered over Taiwan as the Forshang Patriarch monk, at Yuan-Dao Guanyin Temple, was chanting sunrise blessings at 05"00"56 TW Local time, Thursday, October 7th... Just as OM was being uttered the meteor vanished, as if the message was being carried as it hit the Earth by the light of the meteor... and it was all captured on video! “https://www.yuandao.org.tw/ “

The fireball meteor was determined to be from the ongoing Delta Aurigid meteor shower and was traveling at approximately 34 to 42 kilometers per second or approximately 21-26 miles per second, personal communication Thomas Dorman, USA. If any material actually made it to earth, which is unlikely due to the meteoroid size and velocity, it landed in the Pacific Ocean off Taiwan.

Fireball meteor capture over Taiwan is extremely rare due to the lack of cameras trained towards the night sky over Taiwan. This was an extremely rare event to have been captured. The only known dedicated allsky camera for meteor detection in Taiwan is the TAIMON Spalding/Sandia Sentinel in Pingtung City, Taiwan and operated by teacher/astronomer Shih,Shih-Jhih at Jian Guo Elementary School.

Ross, a long proponent of implementing a Taiwan nationwide allsky meteor detection camera network, hopes that Taiwan people become more aware of checking video systems and reporting events. Ross would like to thank those involved for bringing this meteor event to his attention for study. 

Anyone wishing to report a meteor event or meteorite find may contact Ross at "lunarmeteoritehunter@gmail.com"

撰文:Dirk Ross/吳遜慈,東京 2021/10/10

10/7星期四早上5點,伴隨著日出前的祈福吟誦聲,一個吉祥的徵兆出現,火流星劃過了緣道觀音廟(https://www.yuandao.org.tw/index.php )上空--一座位於台灣北部的佛乘宗祖師廟。火流星隨著祈福的「哞」聲飛逝而過,帶著火尾的光芒撞擊地球,彷若交付了來自遙遠宇宙深處的訊息...而這一切都被影片捕獲! Delta Aurigid 流星雨
這顆火流星經過美國天文專家Thomas Dorman確認是來自目前正在發生的 ,飛行 速度大約是每秒鐘34~42公里(21~26英里/秒),根據其大小和飛行速度研判,應該不太可能有燃燒剩餘的隕石留下,如果有,落點應該在台灣東邊的太平洋海上!
火流星的捕獲在台灣是非常罕見的事件,由於台灣很少有一直對準夜空的攝影機,因此這次捕獲火流星相當難得! 目前台灣唯一已知的專門監控天空的攝影機,是一套位在屏東的全天空攝像系統(TAIMON Spalding/Sandia Sentinel ) ,該系統目前由天文愛好者建國國小施世治校長操作!
ROSS長期致力於支持台灣全天空流星偵測攝影系統網路的設置,希望台灣民眾可以更常注意攝影系統並回報各種天空事件! ROSS希望可以藉由這些流星事件回報的參與來進行進一步研究。
任何人若要回報隕石目擊或找到隕石可以聯絡ROSS lunarmeteoritehunter@gmail.com 他能夠以中文溝通。

Meteorite Discovered in Photograph of Nicaragua Crater

Nicaragua needs to start a PRESERVE THE CRATER CAMPAIGN before it is too late!!! Get the word out FAST!  A chance that this could be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Meteorite Discovered  in Photograph of Nicaragua Crater
text by Dirk Ross...Tokyo // photo manipulation and graphic by Carlos Bella...Brasil
published 12SEP2014 1323JST  edited 2225JST 12SEP2014
  I was searching for the past several hours for high resolution images of the recent, "Nicaragua Crater" "meteor" event 07SEP2014,  Nicaraguan crater and archiving them.
  Once they were all archived I started searching them for evidence of the source of the crater.  I was looking for metal shrapnel stuck in the trees. I have been of the opinion and have previously posted that the crater was created by a munition.
  While searching one image I found what appears to be a stony meteorite type called an Ordinary Chondrite.  The rock in question has geometry, rounded edges and a black surface which are consistent with that of a meteorite.  If it is an Ordinary Chondrite it may NOT have enough Fe/Ni metal in it to be found with a metal detector which explains why the Nicaraguan military have not yet found anything with their machines.
  One thing that is likely, the rock in question seems to be missing in all of the of the other photographs that I have examined.  I estimate that the rock/meteorite weighs 800g-1kg.  The main mass is over 500 pounds and likely up to 1 ton and remains buried below the ground.
  Upon finding this information I asked for help from Carlos Bella of Brasil to help enhance the image and to also take a look and see if I was seeing something that was not there.  Bella agrees with caution that the rock in question is not inconsistent with being a meteorite, noting the rounded edges and black surface with one small broken? area that shows the interior as being a white or light colored material. Nicaragua HAS a NEW METEORITE in their crater!?

Um cinegrafista amador registrou o momento em que uma bola de fogo atravessou o céu de Campos, no norte do Estado. Trata-se de lixo espacial. O fenômeno é raro e fascinou as testemunhas. O objeto caiu no oceano entre a América do Sul e a África e fazia parte de uma nave americana lançada ao espaço há 27 anos.

Major Bolide Meteor Fireball 23 Seconds Duration Texas, New Mexico, Colorado 21SEP2010

Major Asteroid Debris Passes? or Hits?
Bolide Meteor Fireball 23-Second Duration Texas, New Mexico, Colorado 21SEP2010


"EVENT 3"- 23 Seconds!!! Multple Bolide Event 9:03MDT 21SEP2010
(03:03 UTC 22SEP2010) Event 3 of 4 reported
written and reported by Jim Gamble (El Paso) and Dirk Ross (Tokyo)
All RightsReserved LunarMeteorite*Hunters 12:03p 22 SEP2010 Tokyo
Contact for publication: drtanuki@gmail.com


Allsky cameras throughout New Mexico captured a major bolide(s)/meteor fireball(s) at approximately 9:03 pm MDT (03:03 UTC). The fireball was traveling SSE to NNW, one of which flew directly over Albuquerque, NM producing sonic booms as reported by Thomas Ashcraft of the Ashcraft All Sky Meteor Observatory in Santa Fe, NM.
The "Event 3" was visually observed from El Paso All Sky Camera in El Paso, Texas by Jim Gamble. Initial estimates place the magnitude of the event at a -11 (nearly as bright as the full moon).
"Event 3", captured by the Ashcraft Observatory had a duration of 23 seconds with no terminal detonation detected, even though sonic booms were reported.
Additional data/video from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. will be released later when available.
Reports on Events 1, 2, and 4 are posted, please see Jim Gamble`s Website @ http://www.elpasoallsky.blogspot.com/

Shooting stars brighter than in Toyama Prefecture "fireball"
Kita Nippon Shimbun- North Japan Newspaper- reported November 7, 2009 9:00
Several observed a meteor fireball while emitting a brighter than usual flash at around 8:30 pm on the 6th of November; it was observed throughout the province. According to the Observatory, Toyama, it was a "fireball", a rare phenomenon called that because of the large mass of the meteorite.
According to the Observatory, the fireball was observed in the direction of the north. Was shining from two to three seconds, falling to the bottom-right. Divided into several individual pieces of the meteorite exploded in the middle with a white or yellow, and red emission.
Usually a meteorite enters the Earth's atmosphere, because of the state of the atmosphere it burns up in the heat of friction and is called a "shooting star".
The Massive "fireball" caused a fervor in a wide area during the time it took to burn out; unlike a shooting star, it gave a strong longer glow.
A male worker (48), an apartment dweller at Apartment 4, Toyama-shi, 布瀬 Machi Minami, saw the fireball from his home city of Toyama was "surprised to see the first (fireball(?))" and warmly told others. The observatory said there were numerous queries.

Large Fireball Over Sayama, Saitama-Tokyo, Japan Area 6NOV09
by Dirk Ross...Tokyo

I first reported it as a large fireball over Tokyo, but later refined to the area of Sayama, Saitama-Ken, Japan. I witnessed a bright fireball officially at 20:28 on Friday, 6NOV09 from a tenth floor apartment balcony in Nukui, Nerima-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
The fireball was seen at approximately 15-20 degrees above the horizon and traveling from WN to WNN (~310 degrees to ~335 degrees from magnetic North). When first spotted the fireball changed color from blue to red to green and entered dark flight at approximately 10-15 degrees above the horizon in the direction of Sayama, Saitama-Ken.
The duration of visible flight was about two seconds with a possible maximum of three seconds. No sound report was heard. The brightness was about the same as the moon.
