They are calling this a meteor, just like
the one over Russia... however according to several of my sources these
are ships (basically ufos or Ifo's - identified flying objects).
Word is, we are being 'visited' in a
big way by small beings about 14" tall.
Funny as that sounds, I hear
that Steven Greer's film is going to be talking about just such small
ETs...
Think he's read-in with the gov? Do you doubt it? Trouble is, I hear they are not friendlies... I guess time will tell.

(CNN) -- The streaking ball of fire Friday night above the East Coast did not, alas, signal the end to civilization as we know it.
Though you might get that sense from social media.
The sky lit up along the
U.S. Eastern Seaboard with reports of "a thin streak of
blue-greenish-white" from people like Chip Guy, who was driving in
eastern Maryland when he and his family he spotted it.
"It didn't last more than
eight or nine seconds, then it disappeared," said Guy, a spokesman for
Sussex County, Delaware. "Frankly, I didn't think too much of it."
But his tune changed once
he posted something about the presumed meteor on a local social media
web page, which triggered a quick and hearty response.
That was just the tip of
the online iceberg. Through Friday night, new reports of meteor
sightings appeared every few seconds on Twitter, some of them from the
metropolises of New York City and Washington.
"OMG I saw a real meteor in the Brooklyn's sky," wrote one person on Twitter, with the handle
Curious Sergey. "It's all over the news now! I thought it is some kind of firework..."
The Federal Aviation Administration fielded calls about a meteor from Virginia to Maine, said agency spokeswoman Arlene Salac.
So what exactly was it?
Michael Kucharek, a
spokesman for NORAD, said his agency heard about the sightings, too, and
can confirm it was not from anything man-made, such as a plane or
falling satellite.
On Saturday, Bill Cooke from
NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office explained that the bright, fast-flying object was, in fact, a meteor.
The space agency's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
defines a meteor as "light phenomena" from a meteoroid -- which is
itself a comet or asteroid orbiting the sun -- that "enters the Earth's
atmosphere and vaporizes."
It made for quite a
show, producing a fireball as bright as a full moon and spurring more
than 630 visual reports to be submitted to the
American Meteor Society, as it soared southwest into the Atlantic Ocean.
But just because it was
bright doesn't mean it was big. The meteor was one yard in diameter,
about the size of an exercise ball, when it entered the atmosphere over
eastern Pennsylvania, said Cooke.
That's still big enough
potentially to produce meteorites -- which are meteoroids, or fragments
thereof, that do manage to hit the Earth -- before burning completely.
If it did, though, they fell harmlessly into the Atlantic, according to
Cooke.
As anyone who has seen a shooting star can attest, it's hardly unprecedented for
otherworldly objects to enter the Earth's atmosphere.
And some of them do strike our planet, though they tend to be small
when they do and strike unpopulated areas on land or plunge into the
world's oceans.
There are exceptions,
like the massive asteroid that many experts believe killed off
dinosaurs. More recently, a meteor exploded over the steppes of
southwestern Russia on February 15, a blast that scientists at Canada's
University of Western Ontario estimated had the
energy of about 30 early nuclear bombs.
The related flash and boom shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 people hurt, authorities said.
There were no confirmed reports Friday night that the greenish streak spotted by so many actually impacted anywhere.
Even if it didn't, the mere possibility was enough to send chills down some stargazers' spines.
"Seriously, after that massive meteor in california a few weeks ago, the one that hit russia, and now this hugee one tonight,"
wrote a Twitter user by the name of Olivia, referring to the Russia incident and a mass shooting star sighting on the West Coast last night. "Little scaryy."
