Mysterious Fireball Lights Up Texas Sky - Nov 7, 2012

A mysterious green flash seen streaking across the sky in Harris County early Friday morning was likely a meteor, officials said.

The streaking green glow was reportedly seen about 7 a.m. arching across the sky by people in Sugar Land, Tomball, Crosby, Shelton and dozens of other spots, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Some reports had the light being spotted as far north as Dallas.

Deputies said patrol units also reported seeing the flash and burst of green.

The eerie gleaming light was also reported by people in Austin, said Chris McKinney, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

McKinney said it is believed to have been a meteor and possibly part of the Geminids meteor shower which usually is visible this time of year in the area. The shower peaks about December 13 and this meteor may have be the opening act of that celestial event, McKinney said.

"At first guess," he said, "it's probably the beginnings of that shower."

Strange Sky Phenomenon Recorded Across Eastern U.S. Before Hurricane Sandy - Oct, 2012

This phenomenon is called Sundogs, Mock Suns, Phantom Sun or Parhelia.

NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office head Bill Cooke says that he had, "never seen anything quite like it." Another onlooker, Kyle Winkleman, called it a "once-in-a-decade event."

Spaceweather writes that the extremely rare apparition was "almost certainly connected to Hurricane Sandy":

The core of the storm swept well north of Alabama, but Sandy's outer bands did pass over the area, leaving behind a thin haze of ice crystals in cirrus clouds. Sunlight shining through the crystals produced an unusually rich variety of ice halos.

"By my count, there are two sun dogs, a 22 degree halo, a parahelic circle, an upper tangent arc, and a parry arc," says Chris Brightwell, who also photographed the display. "It was amazing."

These were all recorded a few days or less prior to Hurricane Sandy making landfall.

Here is the video compilation of this beautiful, strange, rare nature phenomenon.

Lightning Hits SUV While Driving in Russia (Video)

What happens when lightning strikes a vehicle? The answer, gleaned from anecdotal observations, is all the way from "Nothing" to "Wow! What a mess . . . my car is a disaster."

Electrically speaking, at lightning's higher frequencies, currents are carried mostly on the outside of conducting objects. A thick copper wire or a hollow-wall metal pipe will carry most of the lightning on outer surfaces. This phenomenon is called "skin effect." The same holds true for lightning when it strikes metal vehicles: the outer surface carries most of the electricity. The persons inside this steel box can be likened to protected by a partial Faraday cage.
