Are we sure the explanation is that prosaic? Source: https://documents3.theblackvault.com/documents/UFOFiles/pdf/DOW-UAP-D017_General_Correspondence_Of_Sandia.pdf https://www.sciencealert.com/a-dazzling-meteor-just-video-bombed-a-volcanic-eruption I don’t know how to determine the direction the camera was facing, nor the meteor trajectory directionally. If someone can figure out these two things we can reference flight and satellite paths on each respective websites. Relevant info: A document called DOW-UAP-D017 was just declassified after 75+ years as part of the U.S. government's PURSUE UAP release program. It's a 1948–1950 OSI report compiling 190+ sightings of green fireballs over New Mexico and a physical analysis of material collected after one of them. The material analysis found copper particles in atmospheric dust samples collected after the July 24, 1949 green fireball over Socorro, NM. The lead scientist, Dr. Lincoln LaPaz (University of New Mexico, Institute of Meteoritics), wrote explicitly that copper is essentially absent from known meteoritic material; he knew of no prior case. His conclusion: if these particles came from the fireballs, the fireballs are not conventional meteorites. Important chemistry note: copper burns green. It's used in pyrotechnics specifically because of this. So the green color of these anomalous fireballs is consistent with copper as the source, not just nickel or magnesium as mainstream meteor science would assume. The 1948 - 1950 sightings were concentrated over Los Alamos, Sandia Base, White Sands, and Killeen Base/Camp Hood - the U.S. nuclear weapons complex. Two conferences were held at Los Alamos with the AEC, FBI, Air Force, and Armed Forces Special Weapons Project specifically to discuss the phenomenon. No explanation was reached. The official conclusion: "the phenomenon exists and is cause for concern." Mount Mayon, Philippines, May 25, 2026: a green fireball explodes over an erupting volcano on livestream. At the end of the color footage, an orb rises from near the fireball's terminal point. afarTV attributed it to a satellite - unofficially, no methodology stated. The Mayon fireball's material composition is unknown. The "nickel" explanation is an inference from color, not a lab result. No residue analysis has been reported. LaPaz's question - what is actually in the material, hasn't been asked about Mayon yet. submitted by /u/PaarthurnaxUchiha [link] [comments]
