RUSSIA IS HIT.

A bright flash was seen in the Chelyabinsk, Tyumen and Sverdlovsk regions, Russia’s Republic of Bashkiria and in northern Kazakhstan.

Around 950 people have sought medical attention in Chelyabinsk alone because of the disaster, the region's governor Mikhail Yurevich told RIA Novosti. Over 110 of them have been hospitalized and two of them are in heavy condition. Among the injured there are 159 children, Emergency ministry reported.
Army units found three meteorite debris impact sites, two of which are in an area near Chebarkul Lake, west of Chelyabinsk. The third site was found some 80 kilometers further to the northwest, near the town of Zlatoust. One of the fragments that struck near Chebarkul left a crater six meters in diameter.
Servicemembers from the tank brigade that found the crater have confirmed that background radiation levels at the site are normal.

 Russian space agency Roskosmos has confirmed the object that crashed in the Chelyabinsk region is a meteorite:

“According to preliminary estimates, this space object is of non-technogenic origin and qualifies as a meteorite. It was moving at a low trajectory with a speed of about 30 km/s.”

Was it faster than an ICBM. Why it could not be seen in air defence radars and destroyed before the hit? It means if it was a balistic missile, it would not be intercepted by Russian air defence system. I dont know if it was really a kind of new weapon to be tested on Russia with such an extrem timing just after "Post-Soviet Integration is Unstoppable – Putin" or not but it s clear a meteor should be detected and tracked much earlier with its route to earth. And I expect Russian S300 or S400 systems to destroy it on air preventing to be so harmful. Only a couple of days ago there was a news about estimates of the orbit of the meteor Apopsis. Russian scientists from a missile development interprise in St. Petersburg promised to develop a missile system to track it s orbit and destroy if it will be necessary in following 50 years. It s tragicomic to talk about to track and to destroy a meteor is millions of miles away from the earth since 2050 and in the same week to be hit by a meteor. This a meteor (if it is) should be thousands of times closer than Apophis. There was no warning to local people by public authorties before the impact. And no attempt to intercept it by air defence systems. globally scientists say one more meteor will pass nearby the earth within few hours. NASA says no need panic it has no risk to hit the planet. But why nobody could predict for Chelyabinsk one?

 

And one more thing seems very strange in the videos of the incident, the white tracks of the meteor in the blue sky. It s not straight as expected. I am not a space expert but according to physical rules an object goes by the gravity should have a direct and straight route but not a way like it is done minor corrections in its route by any navigation.

 

And finally I have a question to specialists, if the meteors have been observed since now had white tracks in the skye or black?

 

Every August there are meteor showers in the earth and we have observed them for centuries. But only at nights. We like to see them as falling stars but we can not see any white track in the sky daytime when it happens every August.
