U.S. Air Force / Lockheed Martin Space Fence Going Online 2012

YouTube Uploaded by LockheedMartinVideos on 3 Jan 2011 53,147 views

MOORESTOWN, N.J., March 8, 2012 – A prototype of a new radar system developed by a Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT]-led team is now tracking orbiting space objects, bringing the U.S. Air Force’s Space Fence program one step closer to revolutionizing our nation’s space situational awareness.

Utilizing powerful, new ground-based radars, Space Fence will enhance the way the U.S. detects, tracks, measures and catalogs orbiting objects and space debris with improved accuracy, better timeliness and increased surveillance coverage. Lockheed Martin’s prototype radar recently met a key contract requirement during a series of demonstration events by proving it could detect these resident space objects, as they are referred to by the Air Force. ...(more)

North Georgia fireball meteor- 07MAR2012 22:19:10 EST (08MAR2012 03:19:10 UT)

Yellow diamonds = NASA All Sky Fireball Network stations
Circles = observations reported to the AMS (pink), Dirk Ross (red), or Bill Cooke (orange)
Yellow line = automatic meteor trajectory solution. Direction of travel is roughly E to W.
Orange line = manual (refined) meteor trajectory solution. Direction of travel is roughly E to W.

We have just finished refining the trajectory for this event (initial track determined by the automated ASGARD software) which was reported by eyewitnesses through the Internet and by personal email. Captured on 3 out of 4 NASA cameras (unfortunately, the Chickamauga camera, closest to the track, was overcast at the time), I have the following particulars for the fireball:

Start Location: 85.009 W, 34.831 N at an initial altitude of 84.8 km
End location: 85.259 W, 34.804 N at an altitude of 23.2 km
Peak absolute magnitude: -11.8
Initial meteor speed: 18.6 +/- 1.3 km/s
Final meteor speed: ~4 km/s (determined through deceleration)

This fireball meets two of the criteria for producing meteorites - 1) Penetration below 40 km altitude, and 2) deceleration to under 10 km/s. We are working on determining the mass of the meteor, from both the light curve and the deceleration profile. These should be available sometime tomorrow; if the results are favorable, we will initiate dark flight calculations and compute a potential fall zone.

07MAR2012 Michelle Murphy,NC USA 10:14 pm Eastern 10 sec North - South facing South west Blue/orange moon no beautiful

07MAR2012 Dena Curtis Murfreesboro, TN 09:45 p.m In my sight - 5-6 seconds I was facing east and I saw the object to my right. If straight above my head was 12 noon; and 3 o’clock was the actual horizon; it was streaking across the sky to my right at about 2 o’clock.; it was traveling across the sky (from left to right) and maybe at a downward angle. VERY large; bigger than any shooting start I have ever seen; and seemed to be close but it probably wasn’t. Several colors to include bright white, blue and orange to yellow; it definitely had a 'tail/trail' that included the same colors but was mostly white. It seemed to be 'shooting' across the sky; as well as falling; but it may be an illusion as we watched it till it went past the horizon. I don't remember a sound. There was a very bright full moon at the same time and this object was definitely AS bright or brighter than the moon. Not a 'glow' just a brighter white. I am pretty sure there were particles or something(s) coming from the tail/trail. I was with my daughter-in-law. We both saw it and could not take our eyes off of it. 5-6 seconds is a long time when all you are doing is staring at something you don't understand. I just knew it was too big to be a shootin star or that it was the biggest brightest longest shooting star I have ever seen.

07MAR2012 Allison Newnan, Georgia,USA 10:20 pm EST 5sec headed straight down, in the WNW sky bright white bright white like the moon no a single ball of light,the brightest I have seen

07MAR2012 ALLISON MILLER CARROLLTON ,GA 10:11 pm EST happened less than 5 sec north west defined ball, large, off white very bright glow and VERY fast glow similar to moon color but much much brighter not that I could tell - it fell or appeared to have dropped at an angle NO

07MAR2012 Dianne Lindsey McClung Madisonville, TN, USA 2230 Eastern 5 sec or a bit more or less maybe S-W I was facing a bit southwest, I think White, no color, seemed to hear a high pitched sound as with a fast projectile but not certain of source of noise. Bright white .. don't know exactly what to compare to, but white-hot appearance It just looked like a ball of white fire with small trail behind No photo. Happened to be looking toward french doors as it seemed to speed from the sky - appeared as if it went to ground but perceptions of altitude and distance aren't necessarily same as the reality and it could have been miles away though it seemed as if it might have hit ground on the farm next door at the time - probably not?

07MAR2012 Lou Ann Johns jasper, ga 22:12 EST not more than 5 seconds I was traveling west and it was in the southwestern sky traveling west very bright white ball that was going extremely fast. As it came closer to earth, it looked like a stone that was on fire on one end. Brighter than the moon, enough to draw my attention. Probably as bright as Venus at its brightest It was jagged at the firey end So wish I had time to photograph.

07MAR2012 Gary Harrison Royston, GA @ 22:18 5-6 sec Almost straight down, in W-NW part of sky. Bright white interior, with greenish outer flames. As bright as the moon in intensity. The trail split once. It was the widest/largest meteor I had ever seen, and was visible below the tree line. I don't see how it could not have made it to the ground.

07MAR2012 Becky Bruckner Atlanta, GA USA 11pm EST approx 10 Ended near 28th story window of highrise facing North Burning green on outside black center Bright burning green on outside black parts bruning off I live in a hgihrise in Atlanta, just happened to be watching tv tonight and saw it out the window. Couldn't miss it. 2 people saw it.

March 5th,2012 Barb Bloomington, Indiana, USA approx. 6:25 AM As I mentioned before, the object was there when I looked up, and from there it seemed to last 4 or 5 seconds. I was facing south. The "fireball" was traveling from the northwest towards the southeast. It seemed to be travelling almost horizantally with a slight downward angle. I do not know what this was, however... I saw a bright white "ball" with a short tail. The tail was not much longer than the head, and slightly widerer near the front. It had an edging of light blue-green followed by gold - this coloring was up close to the head (or ball shape), and along the top edge of the tail. There were a few "sparks" that appeared to stay up close around the tail , and a few flew out and then faded. It looked kind of like a "dud" firework, in that it "sparkled" and seemed close to the earth/groud. I heard no sound from it, I just happened to look up, and there it was - although just after it went out of sight I heard a far-off "crack". Its brightness was more like venus (??) It sparkled - particularly the tail, with a few fly-aways. As I said, I have no idea what this was - it seemed like it was only a half-mile away from where I stood, but it was hard to tell in the pre-dawn light.I watched until it seemed to disappear from view into the tree tops.

05MAR2012 JAMES CHENEY ELK GROVE, IL, UNITED STATES 545 3 SEC W-E FACING SOUTH BRIGHT WHITE MOON YES AT END VERY BRIGHT WHITE

5MARCH2012 AIMEE MARION, ILLINOIS, USA 5:51 CST About five seconds Moved from west/northwest to east/southeast until it went behind dark blue clouds. Was facing East in a vehicle. It appeared to be a green meteor with a slight tail. It seemed to break off into two pieces, the frontmost being white when it separated and the piece behind it remaining green. Each piece continued in a linear fashion. Very bright, almost flourescent. Was similar to a firework, but was clearly not a firework. Yes. As described, it broke into two parts. The sun was just beginning to rise and the sky was a bright blue color with dark navy clouds.

05MAR2012 Greg Bertschinger Swansea, IL 0535 cst 5 sec. due east-lost sightof it in the horizon- I was traveling in same direction, passed overhead. white center with bluish green edges. moon yes, split in two. none

N to S - Apprx. 30 degrees above horizon Bright red-orange head w/ trailing tail A little less intense than sun. No. Awoke to a beautiful sunrise reflecting off light, overnight snow fall clinging to plants and roof tops. I was looking out half round bedroom window at fading bright star high in the west sky (about 60 degrees above horizon) when meteor flashed across the sky. I called the Indiana University Astronomy Department to report my sighting and to inquire if someone else had reported seeing the meteor. I was the first to report the event.
