Argentina: Argentines Probe Reports of Blast From Fireball That Fell From the Sky


“BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) –Argentina’s security ministry has an explosives team probing a mysterious blast that killed a woman and injured at least six other people in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The explosion occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, destroying two houses, a business and several cars.

Several neighbors reported seeing a ball of fire fall from the sky right before the explosion.

Federal and provincial experts aren’t ruling anything out, but NASA has said that a satellite that fell to Earth sometime Saturday landed well clear of South America.

Provincial justice and security minister Ricardo Casal says experts ‘are evaluating all theories, from an explosion to something strange that came from the sky.'” Read more.

    Several weeks back I was walking in the neighborhood park in front of my house at night and saw a bright and blobby shooting star that had one or two pieces detach before it disappeared. I wouldn’t describe it as a “fire ball”, but very different, “slower” and much brighter than your average shooting star.

    I’ve seen one a few weeks back, but it only lasted for about one second. Though when it lit up, it was so bright the sky turned blue for a moment.

    If Gavin Finley is right (which I doubt, but…), the “7 Year Trib” starts with a peace treaty on Tishrei 1 (Yom Teruah) and ends on Tishrei 10 (Yom Kippur), seven years later, on certain years that have 86 moons, and not 87. One of those cycles begins THIS year, 2011, and would end in 2018. See this chart:

    So we might be alert to see what happens with this UN Palestinian Statehood bid, what with Yom Teruah starting tomorrow (Tishrei 1).
