At around 9:30 Wednesday night, July 27, 2016, residents of states like Nevada, Utah, reported on social media about seeing a strange meteor shower or lights streaking across the sky overhead. Many took video, but none were sure what they were seeing.

Many first heard one expert say the spectacle was nothing more than debris from a Chinese rocket launch that took place on June 25 that was believed to have returned to the earth’s atmosphere and was likely traveling around earth at a high rate of speed; around 18,000 mph. But others weren’t so sure.

The 45-year director of Griffith Observatory, Ed Krupp, made another claim.
"Anytime you have a report of a luminous object, it's a fair bet it's a natural event. It's likely space debris or a meteor produced by interplanetary debris."

And today, “space junk” is the prevailing theory, although we at the Crypto Crew can think of many different spins on the story about what it might be. But we’ll let you decide.
Check out the videos.

The image above was first described by many as a UFO. Images and sighting reports of the object started to flood social media and some newscast. Some at first also speculated that it was a meteor. Some described it as a blue ball of light that faded out of sight.

Later the Navy announced that it was no UFO or meteor but one of their scheduled rocket test. According to the Navy, they were testing Trident II missiles. It is my understanding they had a schedule that included 2 firings of the Trident II missile . That would seem like the end of the story, but there is another set of pictures that started to pop up on social media.

Here is the cluster of pictures. The claim I was reading was that these weird, some called them aliens, started to be found after the first "rocket test." That other pictures had been posted to social media but some were removed. There was even some speculation even after the Navy admitted to the test firing, that it was not a test and they shot down some type of UFO. That was what I had gather from the information I had read.

One has to admit the creature in the photograph is rather weird looking.

To me the strange creature could be nothing more that a prematurely born deer or elk....or something. Some still may think it is an alien but I dug up some more information about it.

Here is the post I saw, I have blacked out the person's name and face.

 
In my hunt for the truth on this set of images and claims, I ran across some interesting information.
It seems the pictures I saw were not the original posting of the photos. The original posting was dated back to Nov. 5th and the pictures come from Missouri not California. According to what I read about the original posting of these photos, the identity of the mystery creature is unknown. Many say it is a deformed cow and it may very well be. Some said several of these dead cows have been found over the last few weeks on the same property. So, sorry folks, no alien this time.

I didn't want to share the Facebook pages of people involved because they may not want the extra attention. There is also a little feud about the second posting of the photos. The person who posted them second claimed them as their own. But it appears the original posting was by another person back on the 5th.

Even the somewhat popular satirical huzlers.com website picked up on the story and added to it, with the headline:

"Teen In California Who Posted Dead “Alien” Outside Her House On Facebook Was Found Dead The Next Day"

It appears the second posting of these photos was nothing more that an attempt to cause a stir and get some attention. Which it did.

In the end, this was nothing more than a hoax with a fabricated story to coincide with the Navy's test firing of the rockets. 


Sometimes all you can do is shake your head.

Was it a meteor?(October 2012, by Aaron Turner.)

I have got and seen a few reports of some strange, low in the sky, slow moving objects last night.
The first was from Jay in Iowa at about 10:30pm. Here is what he posted.

"Don't know what I saw in the sky just now, low, slow and bright, with a short tail it was headed east to Illinois, A meteor or something, it was way to low for a falling star."

I also found a report of the object being seen in Connecticut. The report there were more that one object.

Then I was sent a report from Patrick Thomas and here is what he told me.

"I had a wired sighting tonight. My girl friend texted me at work about 8:30 pm Sunday night asking me if I had seen the "streaks" in the sky. I replied that I had not and she insisted I go outside and look. She was at our house in central Pennsylvania about 12 miles from my work place. I went out and looked and saw what appeared to be 5 contrails overhead. 3 going one direction, all spaced evenly apart and 2 going the other direction spaced the same criss crossing with the other 3. All 5 were perfectly straight. The weird thing is they were very low. I mean very low. I've seen military fly that low but not right around here but I didn't hear any sound. Not sure what it could of been. I tried to take a picture but turned out poorly."

Here is Patrick's photo and you can see where the two objects crossed by the trail they left. Look below the moon.


From what I have gathered the American Meteor Society is investigating and many think it could have been fragments of comet Isom. It had been stated that Comet Isom could hit on Sunday, so looks like it might have.

Special thanks to those who reported this event. If anyone has more information or photos please contact me.

Thanks

Meteor Hits in Russia - Amazing Video!
A meteor estimated to be around 10 tons hit Russia. The sonic boom blew out windows and doors and caused a wide panic. At last count, almost 1000 people were injured due to the meteor, and around 40 are reportedly in somewhat serious condition. Most of the injuries were due to flying glass and debris.
A 20-foot crater was also found.  It was reported that at first, some people thought it was some type of military attack but soon found out it was a meteor.
