security camera captured a bright light Virginia Beach March 29 2009

[LambrettaFunk]

The "russian rocket" explanation seems to be the new "swap gas"

[SnakeDoctor33]

If it was a Russian rocket,why was it in our airspace?

[SHOOTER0072003]

its a boom from low frequency charge , ITS CLASSIFIED PROGRAME GOOGLE IT ( VTERPE)

[outithewoods]

hmm Copper laden meteor hence green light and sonic boom due to entry speed compressing the atmosphere.

[roseipk]

I guess this only happens in US?????...

[rugonza190]

lol ))))

[eruanion]

it's so funny to see all these videos from virginia beach. yes people it really is that boring

[upindust]

lol no it's not. Try living in a small small town in podunk Ohio where the nearest clothing store is a WALMART and it's 20 minutes away and the nearest mall is 2 hours and the theaters are the old style ones meaning if someone who is tall sits infront of you, you can't see...

[chuckchizzle]

it was me.....my ship was stalling..my bad people

[playboy198900]

its called swamp gas

[BADFISHHHHHH]

You can see the object in the reflection of the car. But why did they cut the footage off just when we could see it...

[piwacket33]

My sister saw it in upstate new york. She saw a light in the sky and later heard a BOOM.

[bolillo239]

weather balloon, maybe flares

time travel

[gingerpyle24]

Love the bright spots on the truck hood.

They seem to move apart. Very interesting video. Thanks.

[Rsirchie]

Its pretty Hillarious that people still get all jammed up about the ufo / et issue. Its almost as bad as rascism or warring diapers at age 15. The closer we get to 2012 the more the veils will lift and show the truth. A metero ...or Russian booster ....hahahaha MUGGLES

[Globe85]

I've seen something like that, but it was like 10 times bigger. It was massive! It was so fast! it lastet for 1-2 sec and it covered the whole sky. As blue/white you can imagine but not so it hurt the eyes. it was beautiful :) I doubt what i saw was a comet. If you believe a sonic boom from mesosphere is big enough to shake up a house you are wrong.

[bobathome20]

Just one question, where is 21:40:32????

21:40:31

watch truck windshield,

top whatever blows the @$* out off bottom whatever,

21:40:32 not there, hmmmm

[sundazeberlin]

ONLY ONE QUESTION REMAINS :

WHAT ABOUT THE IMPACT POINT ?????

stop doing the blablabla ask serious questions

[workingclasssociety]

they said it shook the house... space debris? meteor? no one claimed anything, they just guessed what it was... what do you think it was?

[SolowShine]

Any large item coming into the atmosphere will create a sonic boom but a meteorite CANNOT travel the length of the Eastern seaboard without burning up. Spent rocket booster from Russia? Not!! That excuse is about as absurd as swamp gas. We need to face it, we are NOT alone and anyone who thinks we are is in serious denial. Thanks for reading.

[Alberad08]

And again: a very interesting post, man! By the way, if a meteorite is fast enough - and of course they are - it must cause a sonic boom when passing through the lower/denser layers of our atmosphere.

[whats0up0with0that]

I live in Virginia Beach and I saw this hooplah with my own eyes. There is no way that flashing sphere of light, which lit up the entire sky like an atom bomb's flash, was a damned russian rocket and I cannot believe they think we, as Americans would be COMFORTABLE with accepting this. WHY? Because who the HELL wants rockets from other countries falling onto our soil & into our lives. This was no rocket. I know this because when rockets fall they do not travel horizontaly then fly upward.

[bluechick23979]

@whats0up0with0that

hmmm wow u really gotta good point there

[bobathome20]

Watch the reflection off of the truck hood, bottom right frame, there were two

Frame:21:40

[SolowShine]

It looks that way bob, but there are 2 because of the contours of the vehicle and the angle of the car showing the bottom reflection is verticle resulting in the object appearing to be moving faster. But it's only one.

[freelywheely]

A spent Russian rocket booster did reenter Earth's atmosphere on March 29th, but apparently not over the USA. According to data published by US Strategic Command, the reentry occurred near Taiwan (24° N, 125° E) at 11:57 p.m. EDT.

[SmilingWood]

Heya Av! We had something falling from the sky AGAIN last night in Calgary, Alberta. Second time, same area in a couple months? Something ain't adding up here. My spidey sense tells me the powers that be are hiding something.

[thegozguy]

actually, circumstances similar to what happened in virginia beach were reported in Brasilia, Brazil a few weeks before ( 10-Mar-09 i think)

[jplumads]

Aha, there's what everyone was talking about. 5*

[ackooln]

Do you think Washington DC would of let a Russian rocket booster fall from the sky within a hundred miles of the capital........PLEASE.....

[FAX420]

Plus the statement said "spent booster." What's with the big boom? The only thing I can speculate to the boom being related to the booster is a sonic boom (although highly doubtful). This story has my attention.

[MRBlol]

Im sure Rocket debris, or meteors turn from green to orange in a flash, Rainbow comet anyone ?

[ZebZachary]

does a comet entering the earth's atmosphere cause a sonic boom?

no.

does debris from a rocket booster re-entering the atmosphere cause a sonic boom?

no.

their feeble attempts to cover this up are falling apart.

a VERY similar event happened in Canada not too long ago....

[SolowShine]

I agree with you Zeb, but comets do not enter the earth's atmosphere. They have an eliptical orbit that passes within viewing of the earth. Now, if a meteorite has enough size and density, it will create a sonic boom. Even the space shuttle creates a sonic boom upon re-entry. Read up.

[ZebZachary]

indeed, I shall......

[AmericaHowAreYa]

Sorry everybody I'm responsible for it, see I ate too much chili and farted like hell.

Apologies :-(

[ZebZachary]

Aurora?

HAARP?

who knows.........

[piwacket33]

It's not debris. The BOOM is a sonic boom, and falling debris doesn't push the sound barrier.

That's just a bunch of crap.

something makes that sound as it ACCELERATES.

duh.

[testyvenom]

@piwacket33 Technically, falling debris DOES ACCELERATE toward the earth. Have you ever taken a physics class? Don't forget that gravitational ACCELERATION effects objects within a certain range of the earth. Everything in orbit experiences this gravitational acceleration (or gravitational "pull") and so does everything below orbit.

[piwacket33]

@testyvenom testyvenom lol. Yes. I took physics and in that class I learned about terminal velocity. So falling debris only accelerates until it hits 9.8 meters/sec/sec. Laws of falling bodies and all. Of course if it's traveling faster than that, then when it hits the atmosphere it can only decelerate until it reaches the ground or 9.8 meters per second squared. Ahhh Galileo!

[testyvenom]

@piwacket33 Lol back at you. ;) You had me worried that I said something wrong.... until I got to "So falling debris only..." Then, I realized "this guy doesn't pay much attention to detail." I thought this because you stated velocity in terms of meters per second squared (which is wrong) and you said that the terminal velocity of anything is 9.8 meters per second squared (which is also wrong). You simply stated the gravitational acceleration twice (perhaps in hopes that nobody knows this??).

[testyvenom]

@piwacket33 Almost anything falling to the earth will continue to accelerate (yes, even beyond the 9.8 meters/sec/sec) until it is stopped (usually by the ground). The drag resistance is more than likely not enough to slow a falling object like a meteor (or some such) DOWN to 9.8 meters/sec/sec. Obviously, there are things that do have a lot of drag (like a feather) that do not gain velocities greater than 9.8 meters/sec/sec. However, there is such a thing as terminal velocity.

[testyvenom]

@piwacket33 I'm not trying to say you were wrong about the "sonic boom". I'm just trying to set you straight about the acceleration statement. When an object is falling to the earth, it does NOT stop accelerating when it reaches 9.8 meters/sec. The acceleration is constant.
