From Wiki:
The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas.[1] The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft) at 40°15?10?N 58°26?22?E. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was to burn it off.[2] Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern "The Door to Hell".[3]

Yes, makes me wonder if Sorcha Faal is a Russian disinfo

No Sorsha is on his own... he just pretends he is a Russian Girl

But i forgot to post THIS the other day

IRIS Seismic monitor caught the meteorite impact (or at least the blast) at a 4.0!

Meteorite's Powerful Blast Due to 'Space Collisions' -Scientist | Science | RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, February 26 (RIA Novosti) – The powerful blast of a meteorite above the Urals city of Chelyabinsk was probably caused by its previous "space collisions" with other celestial bodies, said Professor Erik Galimov of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry.

Fragments of the meteorite were taken to the institute's lab on Monday.

"[The meteorite] experienced collisions in space before entering the atmosphere. Probably, this caused its disintegration, or fragmentation, which later resulted in such a powerful blast. Such blasts to not always occur when meteors fall," Galimov said.

He said that findings made by experts in Moscow confirmed preliminary results of the meteorite's test in a lab of the Urals Federal University.

Windows were shattered and walls were damaged by shockwaves in thousands of mostly residential buildings, as the meteorite streaked through the sky over the Chelyabinsk Region on February 15 and exploded in the atmosphere. Over 1,500 people were injured, most by flying glass shards.

Russian meteorite 1,000 times bigger than originally thought | Fox News

It turns out the meteor that landed in Russia last week was a bit bigger than the 10 tons first reported. About 1,000 times bigger.

When a hunk of rock raced out of the morning skies over Russia on Friday and exploded with nearly 500 kilotons of energy, early size estimates from the Russian Academy of Sciences that were carried by the Associated Press, Reuters and other news wires pegged it on the small size, with a weight of about 10 tons.

'This event was so much bigger than anything we've seen on video that it doesn't surprise me the guess was off by three orders of magnitude.'

- Margaret Campbell-Brown, physics professor at the University of Western Ontario


Later in the evening, after studying infrasound data from stations around the world, NASA released a new estimate revising that first guess upward by a thousand-fold: The meteorite actually weighed closer to 10,000 tons, scientists said -- approximately as much as 170 M1 Abrams tanks. 

"My guess is that someone eyeballed the videos and made an educated guess," said Margaret Campbell-Brown, associate professor in the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario. "This event was so much bigger than anything we've seen on video that it doesn't surprise me the guess was off by three orders of magnitude."

That poor estimate underscores the daunting task scientists face today: While NASA's Near-Earth Object Program currently tracks about 10,000 objects through the heavens, there are far, far more smaller objects that are simply too tiny to track.

Gang Of Asteroids Approach Earth?
Russian Meteor May Have Followers On Same Path

According to this video just released by Russia Today, the Russian meteor from earlier in the year has a gang of followers, possibly on the very same path, now approaching Earth.

Is THIS what all the FEMA preparation is REALLY about?

If RT knows this, the US government would have to know this too, no?

Why haven't they told us anything?








Published on Apr 12, 2013
In mid-February a flaming meteorite,

whose shock wave equaled 20 nuclear bombs,

streaked across the sky and slammed into the central Russian city of Chelyabinsk.

It damaged dozens of buildings and injured hundreds of people.

RT went to central Russia to talk with witnesses and scientists and to find out whether the country should get ready for more such phenomena.

DA-14 Asteroid Secrets Revealed - YouTube


Published on Feb 16, 2013
The global news impact of the Russian meteorite has far outstripped the actual physical impact of the object today, reminding us just how quickly information, and potential disinformation, can spread via the internet.

Within minutes of the meteor's impact alternative theories began to circulate that the object seen in the video had been shot down by Russian air defence missiles to prevent further destruction.

The theory seems to have stemmed from a report from the local Znak newspaper, which quoted an anonymous "military source" who claimed that the object was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk.

According to the source, a missile salvo blew the meteorite apart at an altitude of 20 kilometers, scattering burning debris over the region.

Russia Today picked up the report and sent it viral on the internet, adding that

"Regnum news agency quoted a military source who claimed that the vapor condensation trail of the meteorite speaks to the fact that the meteorite was intercepted by air defenses."

In the hours that have passed, the story has been tweeted and retweeted thousands of times. The Russian regional Emergency Ministry has denied that any military air defenses were involved in the incident.

Witnesses in a town 50 kilometers from Chelyabinsk, where the meteor is thought to have hit, said they saw a streaking object suddenly burst into flames, break apart and fall to the ground.

They then described a black cloud had hanging above the town. Witnesses in Chelyabinsk itself said that the air smelled like gunpowder after the object hit. Reactions to the shoot down theory have been mixed, with detractors suggesting no upward missile vapour trail or intercepting object can be seen in the videos, and that it would be impossible to shoot down an object travelling with such speed at the trajectory it approached.

More wide eyed theorists have suggested that the object may not have been a meteor at all and could have been a satellite that was shot down, or some form of kinetic bombardment weapon aimed at Russia.

By the Numbers

Today's Asteroid Flyby a Wakeup Call, Scientists Say | 2012 DA14 | Space.com

Scientists think the Russian fireball was caused by an object weighing about 7,000 tons. For comparison, 2012 DA14 tips the scales at about 140,000 tons. The two space rocks are completely unrelated, NASA researchers said.

Millions of space rocks
Earth has been pummeled by asteroids throughout its 4.5-billion-year history. Perhaps the most famous impact came 65 million years ago, when a 6-mile-wide (10 km) behemoth smashed into our planet and wiped out the dinosaurs.

The good news is that another such catastrophic impact does not appear to be in the offing anytime soon.

NASA researchers have mapped out the paths of more than 90 percent of the near-Earth asteroids at least 0.6 miles (1 km) across, which could threaten human civilization if they hit us. Not one is on a collision course with our planet in the foreseeable future.

But the numbers get worse from there. Observations by NASA's WISE space telescope suggest that about 4,700 asteroids at least 330 feet (100 m) wide come uncomfortably close to our planet at some point in their orbits.

So far, astronomers have spotted less than 30 percent of these large space rocks, which could destroy an area the size of a state if they slammed into Earth.

And they've identified just 1 percent of the objects that are about the size of 2012 DA14 or bigger,

B612 officials have said.

Such asteroids are capable of inflicting serious damage on a local scale, as the "Tunguska Event" illustrates. In 1908, a 130-foot-wide (40 m) asteroid exploded over the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Siberia, flattening about 825 square miles (2,137 square km) of forest.

Astronomers think, all together 1 million or more near-Earth asteroids are out there, cruising silently through the dark depths of space. About 9,600 have been discovered to date.

But the numbers get worse from there.

Observations by NASA's WISE space telescope suggest that about 4,700 asteroids at least 330 feet (100 m) wide come uncomfortably close to our planet at some point in their orbits.

Who was it - von Braun's collegue or secretary... - that predicted that after "terrorists" We'd see "asteroids?"

How much can We really believe, & how much will be blue beam?

[thorfourwinds]

Carol rosen?

[Amaterasu]

That was Her name, yes.  So We have the terrorists all set up...and here come the asteroids.

Imagine Blue Beam creating a holographic rock, landing on a location They've put buttloads of explosives on, or otherwise energize to explode...

If I had that power and was psychopathic...  I'd think of doing that.  And I could do it, too.

[The Seeker]

it was Carol Rosen, Ama; said Von Braun claimed that after the terrorist thing it would be asteriods, then an alien attack/ invasion; we might be fortunate that we live in da hills...
