On the night of November 13, a luminous object accompanied by supersonic booms was filmed by several cameras. An ordinary meteorite? Some scientists doubt it… On the other hand, the spectacular phenomenon which lit up the sky on Saturday evening in the Landes has been explained.
What happened – or rather what happened – over Beltrami County, Minnesota on the evening of Monday, November 13? No fewer than three surveillance cameras filmed a racing car racing through the night sky while supersonic booms were heard for miles around, shaking windows and even the walls of houses.
The object was recorded by a security camera at a private residence in Nymore as well as by a camera at the Bemidji Regional Airport, regarding ten kilometers from Nymore. As for the third video, it comes from a camera belonging to an individual who films the celestial vault. It is located approximately 15 kilometers from the airport.

The images appear to show the same phenomenon from different angles and distances: a bluish flash and a powerful detonation, audible in one of the videos.
A meteor? Not so simple: some of the experts analyzing the incident remain skeptical of this hypothesis for different reasons.

To a NASA astronomer, it was an object the size of a refrigerator that entered the atmosphere at an estimated speed of between 50,000 and 200,000 km/h.
However, according to physicist Juan Cabanela, who studied the images at the request of the Daily Mailone element does not fit with the obvious thesis of a meteorite: according to him, the timing of the supersonic boom, which occurs 2.95 seconds following the passage of the bolide, is very unusual.
“I still don’t know what it was,” the scientist explains to the Daily Mail, “but I’m convinced it’s not a meteor. »

Another astonishing phenomenon emerges from NASA’s study of video from Bemidji Airport. According to Chris Muller, the Beltrami County Emergency Management director who assembled the three sequences and submitted them to the U.S. Space Agency, a frame-by-frame analysis reveals that the object’s trajectory is too good. too horizontal to match that of a meteorite. However, underlines Chris Muller, an alternative hypothesis might perhaps elucidate this anomaly: the light trace would not be produced by the celestial object but by… an insect! In fact, it frequently happens that birds or insects passing near the lens of a camera are confused with aerial phenomena, the altitude and distance of the object filmed and therefore its speed being very difficult to assess without precise landmarks.
To support his thesis, Chris Muller points out that the light line does not continue its course behind the post in the foreground. He therefore considers it likely that the insect simply landed on it.
For the meteorite specialist Craig Zlimen, interviewed by CBS, the best way to dispel doubts would be to find a possible fragment of the object that crossed the skies of the State. An exciting prospect for Craig Zlimen who highlights the extreme poverty of Minnesota where only 9 meteorites have been found while Texas, for example, can boast of having “received” hundreds of them. Cruel inequality…
Spectacular light in the southwest
In France too, a strange phenomenon caused some concern in the south-west of France on Saturday evening. But, in this specific case, its explanation leaves little doubt and its origin was confirmed on coordinated and successfully conducted a test firing of an M51 missile without military charge from its Biscarrosse site. »
