Air Force remains silent after huge meteor hits near US military base

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Or good, depending on where or who it hit.

Glad it didn't hit the base. It may have been interpreted as a Russian or Chinese attack on early warning system.

Haven't seen or heard of one of those since...........

Not sure of the reason for your question.

Not sure of the reason for your question.

It is information that has nothing to due with what a military base has duty yo alert the general public of what is going on there.

If you posted this as an example of BS, intentionally “inflammatory” headline writing, you’re correct.

unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland

but it hit with 2.1 k of force .. LOL

did a VW rabbit drop

No, A Huge Meteor Did Not Threaten A U.S. Base With Total Destruction

 

[Truebeliever]

Perphaps it was a test of the “rods of God” weapon system.

Rods from God

 

[holdover]

A pair of satellites orbiting several hundred miles above the Earth would serve as a weapons system. One functions as the targeting and communications platform while the other carries numerous tungsten rods--up to 20 feet in length and a foot in diameter--that it can drop on targets with less than 15 minutes' notice. When instructed from the ground, the targeting satellite commands its partner to drop one of its darts. The guided rods enter the atmosphere, protected by a thermal coating, traveling at 36,000 feet per second--comparable to the speed of a meteor. The result: complete devastation of the target, even if it's buried deep underground

If my memory serves me correctly, 26,000 FPS is the rate of speed of C4 High explosive. Just to put some perspective on it.

It's really a genius idea and I hope we have some of these in orbit right now


It's basically an immediate little to no warning and unstopable tactical nuke without the risk of collateral of radioactive fallout.
