Fireball at Night: An unidentified object that burned and disintegrated in the atmosphere was documented by the crew of a research ship in the middle of the sea • "We were all on board and saw it live," the cruise director said
Celestial Fireball: In the Tasman Sea separating Australia and New Zealand a two-object fireball has recently been documented.
The rare video was filmed in its entirety at night by the crew of an Austrian research ship sailing in the middle of the sea.
This is a relative video, as it picks up the meteor's entry into the atmosphere, moves in the sky - and disappears.
"What we saw when we reviewed the films that were shot stunned us," said John Hopper, director of the cruise crew.
"Seeing a meteor in such a bright and sharp way is something you don't see every day. We were able to capture the scene because of the ship's scientific equipment that not only photographs the water, but also surrounds the entire area. We were all on board and saw it live. But to photograph That is something else. "
The team that documented the meteor is mapping the seabed and is operating on behalf of the Australian National Science Agency, along with the Economic Research Team of the British Commonwealth of Independent States, CSIRO.
Following the filming of the video, the team checked with the International Asteroid and Meteorological Information Center and discovered that there was no other record of what happened beyond the filming of the research ship itself.
"We have cameras everywhere - on our cellphones, in restaurants, at entrances to homes and all sorts of places. But we still have to be at the right time and in the right place along with a well-aimed and appropriate camera when something unusual happens and it doesn't always happen," said Glenn Nagel. The ship.
