Resolved Question: Is there any understanding of what these orange balls in the night sky are, do meteorite's move like this?
I saw four orange balls floating silently in a pyramid in the sky on 4th May 2008 @ 23.10.My brother and I even got some film footage on his camera phone. I could not gage the height or distance of the balls but the length of time they spent in the night sky was unlike anything I have witnessed before. I have no idea what these balls were but they were floating in the northern sky above Didsbury in Manchester, England.
Resolved Question: How meteorites caught fire in atmosphere?
For fire to produce we need: oxygen, heat, fuel. In this case we have oxygen, heat (provided by friction), but what I do not know is where does the fuel come from.
Resolved Question: Questions on where did atmosphere/water come from...?
Okay. I've read in many websites and books and learned that water on earth came from metorites (contain 20% water). After a certain vaporization (caused by volcanoes), that water turned into clouds and then it started raining*. Now my first question, I'm sure all planets got hit by meteorites..So how come Earth is the only one that has water? Then, it is said also that these meteorites came from the astriod belt and further...They got in collision with Earth because their orbit was disturbed by Jupiter's huge mass... Then how come there aren't as many meteorite showers now? I thought maybe it is because of the atmosphere that protects us but, then, there wouldn't have been an atmosphere back then, so where did that atmosphere come from? * Some of you will say that water did come from comets, but the water contained in the comets isn't the same as the one on Earth...
