Meteor Shower Sounds Captured by Space Radar

[turdferguson9725]

7 people where struck by meteors.

[PredsGrrl]

fwowp oooooooo

[DaReapa12]

it does sound like a shower! with water -.-

[5starhollywood321]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SOUND IN SPACE! THERE HAS TO BE AIR PRESENT!

[VideoFromSpace]

@5starhollywood321 Right. But sound comes out of your radio and your TV. What we present here are the radio waves produced by the bounce of radar off the incoming meteors, put through your speakers or earphones. Just like Radio and TV.

[freedomfun1]

@VideoFromSpace CORRECT!

[doffen5000]

R2D2, what the fuck are you doing!?

[Pirokiko]

Congrats to being featured on geeksaresexy cause this is an AWESOME video!!

[Hope4uall]

if you can see the color spectrum as it is b urning in a streak like that you get to see all the elementals in it, as they burn off leaving a color spectrum, what was in that comet?

[minjiii004]

amazing

derrepente escucho un perro que dice guau :3

[player1vladimir]

Well isn't space in vacuum and sound can't travel in vacuum?

[VideoFromSpace]

@player1vladimir Yes. What you are hearing are the electromagnetic pulses from the radar track translated into sound. Like listening to crosstalk between radio stations.

[player1vladimir]

@VideoFromSpace ooh that explains a lot :)

One more question not related to this.

In movies we often see space explosions like fires but it is said that it needs oxygen for fire to burn. So is it possible to have fire and explosion in space?

How does the sun burn if there is no oxygen?

[VideoFromSpace]

@player1vladimir Fire (rapid oxidation) CAN happen in space IF there's oxygen present. The Russian Space Station MIr had a fire on-board which the cosmonaut/astronaut team extinguished. The Sun "burns" under nuclear fusion (as inside a hydrogen bomb, but constant and continuing for 10 Billion years).

[player1vladimir]

@player1vladimir thanks for the answers :)

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­ccccccccccccccccccccc whooo ckckckckckcckckckkckckckckckck­ckckckckkcckkckcckkckckckckckc­kckckckckkckckckckckckckck whooo

[CrazyWoWGamer]

@bubbasbuddy1 Shit, i almost peed myself.

[coolglock19]

wow..

[SodapopSays]

neat!

[TheDjsBass]

Hard Electro. :D.

[trashthethrasher]

I feel so dumb for asking this but.. I thought there wasn't any sound in space?

[funkilo]

@trashthethrasher I have the same doubt! please don't be offended by my ignorance!

[davydog13131]

thats some twilight zone shit right there

[ArOpl44]

cool sampels :D

[devildog2155]

Very cool! I wonder what freq./pitch of an object moving that fast would be?

[gallo77e]

GENIAL! :')

[MelaLovEGratzy]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....:))) great !

[G2wo6ixnation]

you cant hear anything in space because there is no medium for the soundwaves to travel through,but this looks like its in our atmosphere

[autokid15]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

[ideagirlconsulting]

so cool sharing on my story book kids blog about outer space and stars :)

[VideoFromSpace]

@ideagirlconsulting Thanks, Linda!

[RawlAlexis]

amazing audio! i mean... wow! o_____o wowWwwWwWWWwwwwwwWWwwwwWWWWwwW­WWWWWww!! 

[straats]

This is actually a mobile ad device sent from Pliedians, along with a message.. They are trying to sell us space vehicles for 5999 shidels, which is equivalent of 1 Billion dollars. Since their language is in music, that is how they communicate. Send all money to purchase one of these space vehicles to me, as I am the official distributor... only a few space vehicles are left, hurry. lol

[8DeaD7]

@straats =)

[ReneeNme]

@straats Do you accept trade~ins ? I have an old Anunnaki model and it's in pretty bad shape. Just a heads up.

[OLEXVONPILSEN]

Its audio loop, the real sound is 20 sec.

[Kryon677]

Mars Attack ?

[p3ngu1n48]

Sounds JUST like when i put a micrpohone to a speaker.

[DJEspiOficial]

WTF? There is no sound on space :S

[eLLriDe420]

@DJEspiOficial this isnt in space its in our atmosphere.

[DJEspiOficial]

@eLLriDe420 ah, sorry!

[BARELPORTILLO]

que miedo ! que sonido tan angustioso !

[straken9k1]

FAKE

[TJTele]

"Incoming..!"

[elfman888]

lol @sholartc got owned

[ctakemoto]

Grex has their own homage to the Perseids:

(Google "Perseid by Grex")

[unabomberman]

Shit sounds like Homeworld music.

[Ak40waffles]

It sounds like a waffle...



[TimTimeTV]

i find this difficult to masturbate to

[Afig24]

sounds like whales having sex

[nigoroku]

oooh sounds really cool, i can sleep to that sound like a baby, i love it, tnx for sharing.

[iamjeona]

well how 'bout that. that was cool in a weird way. kinda looked like a spear.

[Staringkonstantine12]

Im a 13 year old boy I have a question..... First did the meteors evaporated before they reached earth and can you please explain according to this which is a average size meteor that could enter earths atmosphere and finaly fall as a tiny pebble? thank you for your time!!!!

[VideoFromSpace]

@Staringkonstantine12 Most likely all of these meteors burned out before landing. But that's not certain. Very often, a "parent body" will break into many pieces which will themselves split up as they go through intense friction heating. What they're made of, how fast they're going, and at what altitude (height) they break up will determine how large the pieces hitting the ground will be. So there's no one easy rule that says an X-sized object in space = and Y-sized meteorite on the ground.

[aznboivictor]

Yes, my friends have arrived. 

[ciawarhater]

SPACE...................



[MrFamousCanadian]

I love the little 'whoooop' sound it makes at first hahaha. I guess even non-living things can have a fun time too! xD

[sholartc]

Eh. It sounds like SONAR and the echos received afterwards.

[VideoFromSpace]

@sholartc Uh, yeah. That's kinda what it is...

[sholartc]

@VideoFromSpace RADAR: Radio Detection and Ranging. SONAR: Sound Navigation and Ranging. That sound is just a digital-to-audio representation of the RADAR signal, but contrary to what they are stating it isn't what the meteors sound like as they re-enter the atmosphere. It also sounds very much like the active SONAR that ships around the world use to detect submarines and other underwater objects.

[famfalw]

fake

[psychokong64]

the sounds of Jinns being struck down...

[jenova6669]

sounds like dubstep

[jean23639030]

HERMANITO SUSCRIBETE A MI CANAL Y YO ME SUSCRIVO AL TUYO SI VA

[BestDriverJobs001]

Very cool! Read in your convo above that HAM operators have reflected signals off meteor tails for long distances. At what frequency?

[TerryMasters247]

I liked the part where it went "woosh"

[argosx12a1]

muy bue video :D

[everadopgil]

Awesome.

Science only proves that they know next to nothing everyday.

[Wassamattawityou]

Meteors make a fucking creepy sound

[TheSoundMixerd]

0:38 Holy S***

[Varodunham92]

That's just Doraemon..

[taoka666]

E.T

[TheAmrator]

What is really making those noises in the meteor though?

[VideoFromSpace]

@TheAmrator We think what happens is that the radar reflects off the ionization trail – plasma cloud left by the meteor as it burns up ("ablates") – and there are Doppler shifts in the returning signal making it harmonically rich. We think. We think.

[TheAmrator]

@VideoFromSpace Alright thanks. Sorry, it's just that I'm a 14 year old amateur astronomer and I'm probably going to need more explaining.

[VideoFromSpace]

@TheAmrator DON'T BE SORRY! That was an awesome question! As far back as World War II, American Army Air Corps. radio operators used meteor trials to bounce code signals long distances. You're an amateur astronomer (me too!); it was amateur radio enthusiasts ("hams") who perfected the art of reflecting signals off these cosmic visitors. The record distance for a bounced com is over 3000 km. - We wish you Clear Skies, astronomer!

[TheAmrator]

@VideoFromSpace Sweet thanks :)

[CISCOTREE]

now some one dubstep this

[Denis56rus]

Transformers

[Eastbaycinco10]

how do you capture sound in space? i thought you needed a atmosphere to here sound?

[Hypnot47]

aliens comunicating

[dwdeclare]

it kind of sounds like bits of a burning plastic bag dripping off a telephone wire

[gregor00005]

i could hear nothing

[grini13]

Sounds like music of Jean Michel Jarre... :)

[zolderok]

Frightens and fascinates ...

[moodie69]

there isn't sound in space. no air. lulz fake and gay!

[sorayugiman2]

@moodie69 umm maybe the sound is coming when it enters the atmosphere? idk just a thought

[TwoPlusTwoIsGay]

@moodie69 Hey faggot, the noise was picked up by radar.  This was also reported on MSNBC. Moron.

[moodie69]

@TwoPlusTwoIsGay So the meteors aren't actually making sound like the video said. It's just a big radar gun that makes a sound as an object passes it. Still wrong.

[lkaruga]

@moodie69 Kay kid, go back to trolling elsewhere.

[moodie69]

@lkaruga Just bcuz of bunch of 14 yr old newfags turned into a million 13 yr old newfags doesn't mean I am. Lurking for 6 years, trolling is what newfags and summerfags and muggles say. Goodjob.

[YubabaOfYourHeart]

Now, this is really groundbreaking research, I know. However, I can't help to wonder... Could there be more interesting things to do than record white noise, blips and blops? I'm sure this will have great impact on the scientific world, but maybe the cure for cancer or finding extra-terrestrials could have a similar impact? Food for thought.

[yura347]

i have barely seen anything :( damn rain

[shampoovta]

Dubstep remix in 3, 2,...

[chiapet0711]

sounds like their whipping a stick and whistling

[NWOrDREGS]

Interesting clip. Now if you could get those NWO reptilians, french kissing, while they have their lizard tongues hanging in the breeze? You'd have over 1 million hits by now! lol...

Thumbs up to the poster!

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

@NWOrDREGS You sound completely insane

[NWOrDREGS]

@SquirrelFromGradLife lol...

[DaanGFX]

i saw some last night

[VOICEofLIBERTYzBACK]

beautiful!

[VideoFromSpace]

That station – in Kickapoo, TX – is part of the US space surveillance network. It looks at anything larger than about 5 inches coming in (from space) over the southern border of the US, or anything in orbit above. True, there are not many ICBM launch sites in south America. And no one launches illegal immigrants into sub-orbital trajectories (yet). But, say, China or Iran could maybe someday launch something over the South pole.
