"On Friday, Feb. 13th, people in central Kentucky heard loud booms, felt their houses shake, and saw a fireball streaking through the sky. This occurred scant hours after another fireball at least 10 times brighter than a full Moon lit up the sky over Italy. Although it is tempting to attribute these events to debris from the Feb. 10th collision of the Iridium 33 and Kosmos 2251 satellites, the Kentucky and Italy fireballs also seem to be meteoroids, not man made objects."

showing the event over Texas.
Just as an aside, if you access the NASA site directly, notice on the left of the screen the latest image of the Sun. It has been like this at least since last Jan. 2008 when I began to monitor it. Notice the lack of Sunspots activity. While last winter '08 marked the end of the 11 yr. Sunspot cycle, and the beginning of a new cycle at the opposite pole, it hasn't happened. 2008 was "the blankest year" in over 50 years, and 2009 seems to be a continuation. "We're experiencing a deep minimum of the solar cycle......Researchers are now seeing the dimmest sun in their records. The change is small, just a fraction of a percent, but significant. Questions about effects on climate are natural if the sun continues to dim." Read it HERE. Could this be the reason for the real cooling trend (last 7 yrs.) of the Pacific Ocean which marks a continuation of the La Nina effect (prolonged drought) in many parts of the Earth? (I know, I know. It's raining cats n' dogs outside today here in L.A.).
Question, could this be the reason for the change in rhetoric from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change" that we have heard during the last 12 months? Hm?
