‘I Saw Flames Coming From It As It Was Falling’: Orange And Red Fireballs Light Up The Night Sky Over Florida

Don’t worry. Nothing to see here. This “rare sight” happens all the time …

By Daily Mail – “Residents in south Florida spotted something in the horizon that they described ‘as orange or red fireballs in the sky,’ according to officials.

Amanda Mayer, of the West Palm Beach area, told reporters that she noticed the bright flare in the night sky on Sunday and thought it was somebody flashing a light.

Mayer said she hit the record button on her camera just in time to capture the rare sight.

‘I was like, ‘Wow! That’s weird,’ said Mayer. ‘I just started videotaping, and that’s when it happened.’

The bright flare that many saw was likely a sporadic meteor, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Sabrina Laberdesque.

A sporadic meteor is a rocky object that comes from the asteroid belt, Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society in New York, told NBC News.

He said that his organization received 27 reports within about the first two hours of the incident, an unusual amount for what he called a ‘common’ event.

‘This is a lot of reports to come in quickly,’ Hankey said.

Gauging by those reports, the meteor passed somewhere over the ocean, he noted.

‘These fireballs are common,’ Hankey said. ‘It’s rare for any one person to see one more than once or twice in their lifetime. But on any given night, it might happen somewhere in the globe a few times in a day.’

‘People should not be scared of the sky falling,’ he added.” Read more.

    In the last days God said that there would be signs in the heavens and in the earth. Isn’t it interesting how the mainstream media is not interested in the increase in huge numbers of dead fish and birds. They are equally disinterested in earthquakes, meteorites blazing through the skies. No interest in solar flares, strange sounds coming from inside the earth, and of people, including myself, who have heard the sound of the shofar coming from the sky. All of these occurrences are biblical signs of the the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. The secular media refuses to pursue these signs and wonders because they are in the the service of Satan.
