[TV JORNAL] Queda de meteoro assusta população do Grande Recife e outros estados
Posted to YouTube by TV Jornal 7,847 views
  Likely a meteor caused the flash that lit up the sky in Recife during the night of Wednesday (15), around 22h. Cameras and Urban Transit Company Transportation (CTTU) recorded the phenomenon. The celestial body probably went into combustion when it came into contact with the air pressure in the atmosphere and formed a fireball, fireball named. According to the Astronomical Society of Recife (SAR), the explosion is part of the "Meteor Orionídea", which starts on the 14th and ends on the 29th of this month.

Um provável meteoro causou o clarão que iluminou o céu do Recife, durante a noite dessa quarta-feira (15), por volta das 22h. Câmeras da Companhia de Trânsito e Transporte Urbano (CTTU) registraram o fenômeno. O corpo celeste provavelmente entrou em combustão quando entrou em contato com a pressão do ar na atmosfera e formou uma bola de fogo, denominada bólido. Segundo a Sociedade Astronômica do Recife (SAR), a explosão faz parte da "Chuva de Meteoros Orionídea", que tem início no dia 14 e termina no dia 29 deste mês.

Brasil Meteor Reports-
English Report Translation by Google Translate-
15 / 0ct / 2014 ...... 22:21 TL .......... a large bolide as never seen before. Was in the balcony (Recife) when a light (I think it lasted about 2 or 3 sec) very bright, behind a small cloud, lit the porch like an electric arc. I did not hear thunder. Not seen the direction, but still had time to see the glow in the sky, was approximately 70 degrees north altitude (almost overhead) by the meridian. There are cameras here in the region ... - Pierson B.

Portuguese-
15/0ut/2014......22:21 TL..........um grande bólido como nunca havia visto antes. Estava na varanda (em Recife) quando uma luz (acho que durou uns 2 ou 3 seg) muito brilhante, por trás de uma pequena nuvem, iluminou a varanda como um arco voltaico. Não ouvi trovão. Não vi a direção, mas ainda deu tempo de ver o clarão no céu, foi a aproximadamente a 70 graus de altitude norte (quase zenital) pelo meridiano. Não há câmeras por aqui na região........ Pierson B.

Was sighted in João Pessoa, PB, Brazil. I just saw the blue flash, no noise.

My video camera near Venice (Italy) captured the bright fireball at 21h31m UT of 2014 October 12 probably over NE Italy/Austria.
  The photo above is a composite image of the event.This bright object suffered a sequence of spectacular flares and finished with an big explosion (video magn -12). I think it was a Taurid meteor member. My image shows a part of fireball until just the exit from the FOV in the NNE direction.

UPDATE-
Still mystery event!  I have just been informed that the Calumet report by KTBS.com was from a prior event.

UPDATE-
  "On the local 10:00 PM News, still no Official Word today on the Sonic Boom from the Sky.
  My guess, a large Meteor entering the atmosphere at a shallow angle. At the time of the Sonic Boom , about 4:30 PM, the local relative direction of the Earth was away the Sky, toward the Ground, whereas opposite motion of the Earth at 4:30 AM is somewhat from the Ground toward the Sky. When the Sun is low in the Western Sky or in the early evening, the Earth is moving away from the direction overhead, this is why many of these Sonic Boom-generating Meteors come in at a shallow angle, late in the afternoon or early evening. The Asteroid fragment last year in Russia, happened in the morning, locally the Earth was moving toward the sky amplifying the meteor’s velocity. It is just a matter if time; a large object will slam into the atmosphere over a populated area. The object over Chelyabinsk Russia, February 15, 2013, weighed over 12,000 metric tons, traveling over 40,000 mph, equaled the destructive force of 500,000 tons of TNT. Fortunately that object in Russia burst high in the Sky with a relatively shallow horizontal motion. If it had come in at a steeper angle, the shock wave would have slammed perpendicularly against the ground focusing the local energy of the shock wave, smashing entire cities, like that of the event in Russia 100 years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor#mediaviewer/File:Meteoroid_-_Meteor_(Bolide)_-_Meteorite.gif

  In a few days a Comet, the size of a mountain will fly by Mars at a relative 33 Miles per second, passing a few thousand miles from its surface. Luckily the Solar System has been swept clear of most of these large objects perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, or else our planet would not be as friendly a place to live as it is now, however, since there are so many of us on the surface of the Earth, some are an easy target for much smaller and more numerous objects."
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana

UPDATE-
 " When folks across the ArkLaTex were startled by a loud boom late Monday afternoon, most assumed it was just another clap of thunder on a rainy day. But what they heard was an explosion that rocked Shreveport’s Calumet Refinery, a blast that caused two employees to be hospitalized.
  SFD says the fire was contained to a small, gasoline making section of the refinery and that there was no threat to the surrounding area. The two injured workers were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were considered minor.
  The cause of the explosion will now be investigated by a team of Calumet safety specialists. The refinery is located just south of I-20 across from the state fairgrounds." 
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana
I have JUST been informed that the Calumet report by KTBS.com was from a prior event.

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
"How did you hear about this report? I was deep asleep, but it woke me. I remember hearing a very loud pop, then a series of reverberant booms travelling across the sky. When I went to sleep, we were having thunderstorms so I just thought it was a close lightning strike, but now that there is so much mystery, I do remember it did not sound like Thunder but a sonic boom, I remember them from the 1960s. For it to have waked me from sleep it would have to have been very loud, I sleep like a rock. Unfortunately the sky was overcast. Maybe an airline pilot saw something, but you know how they are about Unidentified Flying Objects. If this was heard over such a wide area, it had to have been at high altitude."
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana

13OCT2014 Stephen Foster Shreveport, LA 4:30ish pop/boom 2-3 sec until pressure waves shook windows Indoors at my home.Sound came from the backyard area and shook the back windows of the house the most. That would have put the direction west to southwest of my location. n/a n/a n/a Indoors when me and my kids heard it. Sounded similar to thunder, but was a sharper more distinct pop. Then the windows in my home rattled seconds later. My daughter asked what was that? I though initially it was thunder since we had been having storms in the area that day.

13OCT2014 Misty Roberts Shreveport, La 16:26 CDT 5 SEC above and everywhere extremely LOUD BOOM(S) no lights none seen VERY loud boom, then 2 smaller ones (like echoes maybe) that was felt AND heard. SCARY!!!!

13OCT2014 Jay Salsburg Shreveport, Louisiana, USA 16:26 CDT 15 seconds seemed that the sound was coming from the West and above extremely LOUD BOOM(S) N/A N/A Pop Sound followed by Sonic Booms
13OCT2014 Sarah Keithville ,la. 1630 PM central time 2 sec East We heard a very loud. BOOM sound and it shook my house Didn't see anything Didn't see anything This shook my home and rattled windows sounding like in my yard going off , It was so loud it made me jump out of laying down and dead sleep , run to check on my kids outside and thought it was a military detonation of some type . Sounded like a military grade BOOM of middle or cannon .

13OCT2014 Emily Sanchez Stonewall, LA 1625 central, PM It was quick, almost a minute maybe. No sight Immediate big boom, I thought a tree had fallen close by, but I did not see anything when I walked outside after it happened. N/A N/A The bad storm just passed away an ended and after is when the boom sounded, I felt vibrations, it shook my house like rattled it, every dog on our property were barking. Our outside dogs barked greatly. There were no signs of anything, no trees down, no smoke. Winds did pick up, it was very gusty and the cold front did seem to already start, it got somewhat cool.

13OCT2014 RJ Bossier city, LA 16:27:00 1 United States Boom no no no

13OCT2014 Brian WC Shreveport, LA, US 16:26 PM CDT 5 seconds unknown no LOUD BOOM unknown loud boom heard over NW Louisiana and far east Texas. It has been erroneously reported as a refinery explosion in another report. However, people have been mistakenly looking at a news story from a similar explosion two years ago. The refinery in question was not at the epicenter of the noise this time.
