On the morning of Feb 15, 2013, Russia experienced first hand what could happen if a bolide of sufficient size entered the Earth’s atmosphere and exploded over a populated area. I thought it would be prudent to update this entry and remind everyone what this might mean.
The picture below is an artist’s impression of how Tunguska would have looked. Beautiful, but extremely deadly. Just think, a whole bunch of those hit us back during the Younger Dryas (YD) Impact Event nearly 10,900 years ago, plus some that were much, much bigger than Tunguska.
In the linked article, the authors claim there is the possibility for a repeat performance as the hypothesized parent comet of the YD event swings back around for another go. Yes, it is periodic. Maybe that’s why all the ancients built temples where you could track the movements of stars and stuff to let them know when the bombardment would come back.
We could be facing something much worse than a bunch of pathological elite bent on world domination in the not too distant future if the above is true.

As of March 9th, 2013, fireball events at the American Meteor Society web site are up to 8.1 events per day for 2013. Contrast that to 1.2 per day for 2005.

March 23, 2013 = 82 day of year. Current total bolide events at AMS as of this date = 699. 699/82 = 8.5 events per day. Still rising. Rut row!

Update for Feb 16, 2013:
The rising number of fireball meteor (bolide) reports over the last 8 years plus the running total for 2013 is below. For the entire year of 2012, the average per day is nearly 6.1 fireballs reported. Compare that to the 2005 average of nearly 1.3 events per day.
Year Number of Events
2005 463
2006 517
2007 587
2008 726
2009 694
2010 951
2011 1628
2012 2219
2013 322
Based on the above, 2013 already looks like it will surpass 2012 for number of fireballs reported.

That’s quite the picture there. Is it a visual depiction of the Tunguska Event?

Yep.
