Watch a meteroid bounce off the Earth's atmosphere:

Last week, a small meteoroid stopped by for a quick visit into our atmosphere before bouncing back off into the cosmos.

Earthgrazing meteoroids, as they're called, are already pretty rare, according to Universe Today, showing up just a few times per year. But even more uncommon: This one was caught on tape — and as more meteoroid-spotting cameras are set up around the world, videos like this might grow more common.

(1/2) An earthgrazer above N Germany and the Netherlands was observed by 8 #globalmeteornetwork cameras on Sept 22, 03:53:35 UTC. It entered the atmosphere at 34.1 km/s, reached the lowest altitude of ~91 km and bounced back into space!@westernuScience@IMOmeteors@amsmeteorspic.twitter.com/5EgRivdcsu

      Twitter is doing weird stuff. First time I opened it, told me that the content was unavailable to me. Closed and reopened after a minute or so, I can see the video. You can see the same video here - https://www.universetoday.com/148041/video-shows-a-meteoroid-skipping-off-earths-atmosphere/ [universetoday.com]

      I'd prefer it without the computer tracking line, that solid moving like is just a distraction, IMO.

      I believe that I've seen this phenomena before. Nice clear night, there's a bit of a flash moving across the sky that lasts just half a minute or even less. Of course, what I saw may have been just about anything. Without magnification, it's just a moving bright spot in the sky.

    See subject: APK Hosts File Engine 2.0++ 64-bit for Linux/BSD http://apk.it-mate.co.uk/APKHostsFileEngineForLinux.zip [it-mate.co.uk]

    Yields more security/speed/reliability/anonymity vs. any 1 solution (99% of threats use hostnames vs. IP address most firewalls use) more efficiently/FASTER + NATIVELY 4 less.

    Vs. "Bolt on 'MoAr' illogic-logic" slowing you hosts speed u up 2 ways: Adblocks + Hardcode fav. sites u spend most time @ vs. competition loaded w/ security bugs (DNS/AntiVir) + overheads slowing u (messagepass 'souled-out' to advertisers easily detected & blocked addons + firewall filtering drivers) & their complexity leads to exploitation!

    * ONLY 1 of its kind in GUI 4 Linux/BSD!

    (Better vs. Windows model in speed/efficiency/merge)

    APK

    P.S.=> Protects vs. script trackers/ads/DNS request tracking + redirect poisoned or downed DNS/botnets/malware downloads/malcript/email malicious payloads... apk
