What they have not said about the Russian meteorite

After almost two days of contact with an intelligence analyst from the National Reconnaissance Office (ONR), a team of experts is confirming an interesting discovery based on what they have taken from the depths of the lake where the Russian meteorite has fallen, who after statements had suggested that it was a North American missile; and that it has been intercepted by the anti-missile technology of the Russians. Using NASA's new Earth Observation System (SOT) -Which includes a collection of satellites that constantly monitors the planet to detect climate changes, using very common remote sensing techniques- has found much of the meteorite beneath the frozen surface of Lake Shebarkul, in an area of ​​relative depth.

To distract different ideas have been generated, such as that it has exploded in the air, and small craters have been shown that do not coincide with the mass of that fireball. But the research team has managed to detect that the meteorite contains fossils of insects very similar to those on Earth. It is prematurely affirmed that it is extraterrestrial life, however the discovery is something that NASA and other organisms desperately need, since its credibility is being questioned by high personalities who have ideas of dismantling some departments of NASA .

Four civilian scientists have also been sent to confirm and study the discovery, before the discovery is made public. For now, one of the scientists has warned of something he has seen in the frozen water from the hole where the meteorite has been extracted, and before warning the other scientists, he has been detained by special forces. The other three scientists along with Rachell Sexton are being sent outside the base to check that the hole is sealed to rule out the idea.

If you want to read the rest, then you have to buy the book because it is very good for a tedious trip like the one I have now.

The book is called The Conspiracy, and its author is Dan Brown and is bought in e-book for only 7 Euros.

... With the apologies for those who were reading with a lot of emotion, here are some basic answers for a friend who has sent me questions that go away from our theme and that of course break the common thread suggested by the topic of the article.

How close was the asteroid and how much danger did it cause us?

The two phenomena have represented an impressive risk to our planet, nothing new but but with the role played by the media becomes more hysterical.

• In the case of the asteroid 2012 OF₁₄ simply by knowing that it passed at a distance 13 times closer than the orbit of the moon (27,700 kilometers), almost the distance at which the constellation of satellites with which our GPS operates is ... tells us that we were relatively close . And considering it was 45 meters in diameter ... needless to say.

But, well, we are aware that scientists have an interesting level of ability to predict the rapprochement of one of these friends in the future; Understood, of course that once it is detected that it comes directly to the land, little or nothing is necessary to do more than to entrust itself to the highest one.

How dangerous was the Russian meteorite?

• The other case is somewhat more stressful, since it is a racing car measuring about 17 meters in its longest part, and it takes us by surprise. It is said that many like these happen frequently, The difference is whether they fall near populated places and of course now plays a great role the technology that is available to all to record video, take pictures or capture satellite images.

How likely are we to see this more often?

We should not take the hysteria of the conspiracists, these phenomena are very common.

The reason why this meteorite was not detected as the asteroid is because systems are usually made to identify bodies more than a kilometer in diameter. With seeing the surface of the moon, we come to the conclusion that the earth must have been the target of many impacts as well.

But the earth has an atmosphere that is our best protection, as you can see in that spooky image, that explosion at that height caused us to barely get the sound shock wave and it was the one that broke the windows of the Chelyabinsk city that until then it was unknown to the whole world; although it is in doubt whether it was this explosion or that of the impact; with what they would have to show us a more gigantic crater. But let's imagine that it would have exploded the impact with the surface ... 9 Hiroshimas together will tell us another story, at least in the Ural area.

The other reason why there are fewer impacts recorded is that most of the land is covered with water, where many of the meteorites are likely to fall; And others in isolated places.

As a lesson learned, we have had to read a little more, and be aware that we are as exposed as safe.

We are exposed to so many dangers around the corner, like a motorcycle hitting us, assaulting us while we wait at the traffic lights, politicians destroying our safety ... that if the extreme happens that a meteorite will fall directly on us skull ... there is nothing else to worry about anymore.

Not even in the debts of the credit card, nor finish the mastery, nor who will wear the bath sandals that we have been careful for a long time.
