On December 13, Unknowncountry reported a
UFO explosion
over the Chinese city of Lanzhou, and similar explosions
took place over Jakarta last night. In both cases, it has
been assumed that the objects were meteors, but it is unsual
that the same general area of the planet would be struck by
exploding meteors over a week period. Normally, meteor
showers are spread across the surface of the planet as it
rotates.
At 7:30 this morning Jakarta time, local military radars
recorded an object incoming from above. Moments later, a
loud explosion was heard over the city, and witnesses
reported seeing a bright object streaking toward the ground.
A witness in Bogor south of Jakarta reported that he had
seen the object hit earth.
In recent weeks, the US State Department has been warning
that a terrorist attack was possible in Indonesia, but no
casualties were reported after the explosions, which were
believed due to the incoming objects.
Meteor sounds are generally described as whining, whistling,
or screaming noises as the objects pass through the
atmosphere. Explosions are not unusual, and meteors also at
times create sonic booms.
The peak of the annual Geminid meteor shower took place on
December 13. The Geminids are not generally associated with
large, explodiing bolides.
