Air Force fails to acknowledge mysterious meteor explosion near US military base

Believe what / who you want to, but you better believe some odd stuff has been going on...
The Independent
Hmmm...
Per wiki:
The Thule Society (/'tu?l?/; German: Thule-Gesellschaft), originally the Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum ("Study Group for Germanic Antiquity"), was a German occultist and völkisch group founded in Munich right after World War I, named after a mythical northern country in Greek legend
"Thule" (Greek: T????) was a land located by Greco-Roman geographers in the farthest north (often displayed as Iceland).[12] The Latin term "Ultima Thule" is also mentioned by Roman poet Virgil in his pastoral poems called the Georgics.[13] Thule originally was probably the name for Scandinavia, although Virgil simply uses it as a proverbial expression for the edge of the known world, and his mention should not be taken as a substantial reference to Scandinavia.[14] The Thule Society identified Ultima Thule as a lost ancient landmass in the extreme north, near Greenland or Iceland,[15] said by Nazi mystics to be the capital of ancient Hyperborea.
Thule (/'?ju?li/;[1] Greek: T????, Thoúle; Latin: Thule, Tile)[2] was the place located furthest north, which was mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman literature and cartography
In classical and medieval literature, ultima Thule (Latin "furthermost Thule") acquired a metaphorical meaning of any distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world"

Air Force fails to acknowledge mysterious meteor that crashed to Earth near US military base
The meteor exploded just above an early warning signal for the strategic US military base

The US Air Force failed to report a major meteor explosion near a military base in Greenland earlier this summer, leading to concern and confusion.
The explosion contained 2.1 kilotons of force and occurred just above an early-warning radar at the Thule Air Force base in June, according to Hans Kristensen, the director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists. Mr Kristensen confirmed the explosion in a tweet on Wednesday, suggesting the meteor could have been mistaken by some as a “Russian first strike”.
Hmmm...

However, the US Air Force did not release a statement regarding the meteor, or even tweet about the phenomena. When contacted for comment, a representative for the secretary of the Air Force public affairs told The Independent: "We’re not providing any comment on that, except that it didn’t impact operations at Thule."

Still, the incident was confirmed in part by data published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which showed an object travelling nearly 24.4 kilometres per second over Thule on 25 July around midnight.

It remains unclear why the Air Force did not release a statement regarding the meteor last month. The military branch contacted its “space command” during the incident, the Military Times reported in a piece debunking claims about the explosion.

What can their fascination with the supernatural teach us about life in our own post-truth times?

So to come back to France for a minute: In France, you don’t see the equivalent politicization and racialization of it. You have theosophy in Britain and America. But it’s a relatively harmless movement, where people get together in a drawing room and try to connect with spirits and write novels about Atlantis. But the concept of root races, which [H.P.] Blavatsky, the Russian progenitor of theosophy, talked about, never gets brought up as an actual basis for belief in “superior breeding” or race war among the liberal or conservative parties that run the government in Britain and America. It clearly is not influencing Roosevelt or Churchill’s view of social policy or foreign policy. But in Germany so many of the people who joined the Nazi Party or supported it are using language and ideas directly borrowed from these occult and border scientific doctrines. “Tschandals,” the lesser races, a Thule civilization.
So like, the Nazi and other folks did believe in this
So like, you can comment on the article I posted...

More deflection. Why?
Is this not odd?
Why does it appear that we are trying to be pushed into a war with Russia (on multiple fronts)?
Why is our President trying to champion a Space Force (and being ridiculed for it)?

I'd bet a month's pay that noname had a hand in whatever subterfuge was going on up there...

Perhaps we failed to report it because it was something that we expected to arrive? Something we aren't eager to share with the world at large? The Space Force Cometh!
Posted on 8/3/18 at 11:05 pm to ThinePreparedAni
Thine, I love you but don't chalk up to malice what can be explained with indifference. I can promise you the folks at Thule would have probably preferred a Russian nuke to another day sitting in that god forsaken place.

No, not really. Meteors hit the earth every day.

I agree we are being pushed, but mostly by neocons and angry democrats. I don't think meteors or our Thule base in Greenland have anything to do with it.

We've already had a space force for decades. Trump only made it official. There is a treaty, however, signed in 1967 that says we can't put nukes in space. But we do have other shite up there like "rods from God" and probably anti-missile defense stuff.

Is that from Q

It would take you about 20 seconds to find out the true reason it's called "Thule" if you didn't already know exactly what you were looking for.
ETA: the name predates the Nazi's by many, many, many years.

He ignored easy to find articles about the Air Force's response to questions about the meteorite, and ignores the easy to find history of how Thule got its name.
It would have taken him more time on google to find the crackpot nonsense he posted.

You really want me to get into that (I can)
Just know that some cultures /folks have legends that this current iteration of civilization was
not the first
descended from a root race
I will avoid discussion about symbolism in this thread as this will get me labeled (a very popular label of late) things I am not

Airforce response Military Times
"A meteor that struck last month miles from a key U.S. early warning air base did not hit the facility, the Air Force said Friday, slightly exasperated."
“No, we don’t have any reports of damage, why are we getting calls on this now?” said another official, Steve Brady, a spokesman at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, which handles Thule’s media queries, even though Thule is located in Greenland."

Yes, I saw your Nazi secret society stuff that had nothing to do with how the area got its name. You did copy a little about Ultima Thule, which is good.
Let's try again:
quote:
In 1910 explorer Knud Rasmussen established a missionary and trading post there. He called the site "Thule" after classical Ultima Thule; the Inuit called it Umanaq ("heart-shaped"), and the site is commonly called "Dundas" today.
I'm pretty sure he was not a member of the Nazi party secret society.
