Hi. I like you guys. A lot.

Mid-Atlantic region, possibly Delaware
Southwestern Texas
Newfoundland
Somewhere along the border of France and Belgium between Tourcoing and Mons
Nizhny Novgorod
Northern Australia coast

Those areas are where fragments that nobody really knew about (legit, we are really bad at finding stuff this "small" in space, this is not some bullshit where the government is letting it happen or something) until a few days ago have a higher than average (read, 1 in 1000) chance of making it through the atmosphere and causing some real damage.

Nothing apocalyptic - none of these cities or areas are going to be wiped off the planet - but bad enough that it would rival some pretty serious natural disasters.

Russia also blasted one out of the sky with conventional missile technology (they don't have much of a interstellar defense system as far as I know, England actually has the strongest but they've never tested it in any real scenario, where as we in the good ol USA have) so I wouldn't be particularly worried to begin with.

Just giving a heads up,

Sincerely,
Low Level Government Mook

Guys cool:

Phil Plait (Slate's Bad Astronomer) doesn't think they're related: https://twitter.com/BadAstronomer

Note especially: 12 hours is a long way at 8 km/sec, so this object in Ruissia was on a very different orbit than 2012 DA14.

and also: Also, apparently moving east-to-west tho I can’t say for sure. Anything on the orbit of DA14 would be moving south-to-north.

Obviously info is still pretty thin, and this article seems pretty speculative. I'd wait a few hours before jumping to any conclusions.

Cont.

8:10 GMT: Oleg Malkov, an aerospace scientist at
Moscow State University, told Komsomolskaya Pravda
newspaper that the meteorite went undetected by
space scanners, likely because it was coming from
the direction of the Sun.
"We can only register stones coming from the
direction of the night sky," he explained. Malkov
confirmed that the meteor shower in the Urals
was not connected to the 2012DA14 asteroid that
will approach Earth in a few hours.

7:46 GMT: Ekaterinburg’s observatory has officially
deemed the incident a fireball meteor shower. No
evacuations were called for, and radiation levels
were determined to be normal.

Hi. I like you guys. A lot.

Mid-Atlantic region, possibly Delaware
Southwestern Texas
Newfoundland
Somewhere along the border of France and Belgium between Tourcoing and Mons
Nizhny Novgorod
Northern Australia coast

Those areas are where fragments that nobody really knew about (legit, we are really bad at finding stuff this "small" in space, this is not some bullshit where the government is letting it happen or something) until a few days ago have a higher than average (read, 1 in 1000) chance of making it through the atmosphere and causing some real damage.

Nothing apocalyptic - none of these cities or areas are going to be wiped off the planet - but bad enough that it would rival some pretty serious natural disasters.

Russia also blasted one out of the sky with conventional missile technology (they don't have much of a interstellar defense system as far as I know, England actually has the strongest but they've never tested it in any real scenario, where as we in the good ol USA have) so I wouldn't be particularly worried to begin with.

Sometimes a cigar is really just a cigar. Radar command and control would have picked that object up a long time before it broke atmo. And they had plenty of time to respond with a missile which they elected to do.

They broke it apart so that when it hit atmo it was good and disrupted. They prevented a worse impact.

This gave then plenty of time to do what they did, which is launch a missile battery to attempt to disrupt the object into smaller parts.

Yeah, OR, or, and this is just me thinking out loud here, maybe MAYBE, the rocky meteorite plummeted into the Earth's atmosphere, at hypersonic velocity, maybe somewhere around 7000 meters per second, and as it fell further it encountered denser gas, and rapidly decreased it's speed, causing it to undergo enormousness physical stress while at the same time heating up and expanding, breaking it up into smaller and smaller chucks, until eventually some of those chunks heat up to the point where they vaporize, causing an compression of the gasses around them and sending out shock waves...

This is just a theory of mine. But I have reason to suspect that this behavior is typical of meteorites.

That's sort of the point. When a rock moving 8000m/s encounters the atmosphere and terminal velocity quickly turns to 100m/s, the meteorite undergoes (in technical terms) a bajillion Gs while at the same time heating up to a bajillion degrees and expands = fractures and explosions.
