Can't remember if that means to stop the ritual sacrifices, or to keep them up.


That's silly, the ritual sacrifices never stop. Didn't you get that memo?

SpaceX launched their 4th set of astronauts to the ISS early this morning.

You guys could have seen the 2nd stage re-entry. There were posts on the same thing late last year after a satellite launch. That stage is not reusable so it burns up in the atmosphere.

That’s a strange angle of approach for a rocket stage, it would have been making an approach against the rotation of the earth if it was traveling westward

The explosion could have been an air burst from a meteor similar to the 2013 Russian meteor, more people would have heard it in that case. It obviously wasn’t very large or in fact bursted into oblivion because surely there would have been major reports by now

Was it making course corrections by any chance?

28 reports so far from Louisiana and Mississippi:

Eventually the reports will be combined here with an approximate track:

This is pretty wild. Who knew there was such an active fireball sighting community?

Yep Very unlikely.

ETA: Looks like SpaceX was a 4 am EDT launch

Really strange seeing one of those during the day.



Why, things only fall from the sky at night?

Just joking

Could it be related to the asteroid that's supposed to go by tonight?

Maybe due to s collision with another body (think of the universe as a big pool table.)

No rime or reason to it whatsoever. Reports of a fireball seem to be most prevalent in rural parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, but also there have observations across the globe, including far flung location on the US West Coast, Australia and Brazil.

My inclination is to believe it's an unwelcome and rare side effect of the clot shot: hallucinations.

Meteor cause of loud boom in South Mississippi

“ NASA believes the meteor was about a foot in diameter with a weight of 90 pounds. Officials said the meteor ran parallel to the Mississippi River at a speed of 55,000 miles per hour. The meteor broke into pieces as it descended into Earth’s atmosphere”
