US: Multicolored Fireball and ‘Strange Lights’ in the Sky Dazzles Southwest, NASA: Likely an ‘Asteroid’

“A brilliant bright light seen streaking over the Southwestern sky Wednesday night was most likely a fragment of an asteroid that entered Earth’s atmosphere, a NASA scientist said.

Residents from Phoenix to Las Vegas to Southern California’s coastal areas reported to local authorities and media outlets that they saw the light move quickly from west to east at around 7:45 p.m. PT (10:45 p.m. ET). Experts said a fireball — or very bright meteor — was likely to blame.

‘I saw something that looked like a falling star but it must have been a fireball in the atmosphere,’ one witness told NBCLA. ‘It was huge. It had a green glow in front of it and a white tail. It looked like green fireworks going across the sky.’

While many witnesses reported the light as bluish-green others said it appeared yellow and orange.

‘We can’t say 100 percent,’ said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program, ‘but it’s almost certain that the object was a fireball’ or very bright meteor, ‘the size of a basketball or baseball that likely disintegrated before it hit the ground.’

Experts said that a meteor is slower than a regular shooting star, and it’s not unusual for it to appear to change colors.

Ed Krupp, the director of the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, said witnesses were probably seeing ‘a piece of interplanetary debris’ that ‘passed through the Earth’s atmosphere and burned up.'” Read more.

Southland Residents Report Seeing Strange Lights In The Night Sky – “Residents in and around the Southland and southwest US Wednesday reported seeing a series of strange lights up in the sky. Viewers described shooting lights, with many colors, including many reports saying the object or objects ‘had a tail.’ The first reports came from Riverside County around 7 p.m. Wednesday. Within a half hour of the first reports, several Orange County residents also reported seeing the lights. After about an hour, reports were coming from all over the West.” Read more.

    Considering the fact that various metals when burned give off different colors….then this is not surprising.
    What color is given off when aluminum, strontium and barium are burned ???

    There is your answer.

    Chemtrails, another Proof of their existence in our atmosphere.
    Guess what, we are All being poisoned by heavy metals….ALL other actions around the global are just to keep us distracted…while the bug spray is being applied to us.
