I'm not getting a hoaxy vibe from this. That family really was upset, and this kid seems naive. Also, he waited a long time. Still... we don't have anyone in the family telling us that they saw anything. And he could have hoaxed his mother into being upset. Anything is possible.

Gates are always closed? Besides, there could be holes in the perimeter fence. But I'm not saying I think it was a Great Dane. But still... it's got a big mouth and bowed legs... And it's close to seven feet tall and has a skinny body and weird feet... A cat seems too small and silent. I'm...

Another possibility for the creature. A Great Dane. Not standing on it's hind legs unsupported, but supporting itself against something. Like a skip loader... Pretty wild. But possible.

It does sound like a sky rocket. But let's note something: The long lasting light is not from whatever made the noise. It's from a security light on the house turning on. That's why I thought assumed it was the sound of the bolide. But you're right. There is also a flash which I didn't see...

Maybe he ran out of memory.

I didn't realize that those gantries are on rails and move along the length of the gravity dam. The author is suggesting that the Russians kept the gantries at the southern end because the Russian personnel didn't want to expose themselves to possible Ukrainian sniper fire from the northern...

Just someone repeating rumors?

I now agree. Though not necessarily self-aware, cynical hoaxing, but maybe honest, naive confusion. We have to work out where that video came from. It appears in the report by George Knapp. I assumed it was first connected to this case by someone at KLAS Channel 8. A bad assumption. Maybe...

Why is this a question? We know it was a bolide. Assigned the event number 2408-2023 by the American Meteor Society.

Rough part of the news cycle to drop this story. -Apartment collapse in Davenport, Iowa -Dam blown in Ukraine as offensive starts. -Northeast cities blanketed by forestfire smoke. -Trump indicted.

I think there are a few things we can say for certain. -Nothing crashed in the backyard. The men in the backyard misinterpreted a bolide and the sonic boom from the bolide. -The police who showed up had also misinterpreted the bolide. -The mark in the yard was not left there by a flying...

Can coyotes get up on a roof? You bet. Coyote in Queens, NY!

Looking over the transcript of that video again, I think that there's a good chance that the backyard was invaded by a pack of coyotes. You can see them, and hear them, all over Vegas. A neighborhood like that in the far north of town that's semi-rural and near the open desert is going to be...

Just go to the American Meteor Society site. In the toolbar on the home page click fireballs, open that and click fireball events. You'll find that the "thing" in the sky was a bright meteor: On the AMS log they call it "Event 2408-2023." It happened at 11:50 p.m. PDT and was reported from four...

It's possible that the Russians let the reservoir rise on purpose to make the flooding as devastating as possible. Once the Ukrainians started the reconnaissance in force and probing attacks phase of the offensive, that was the signal to destroy the dam. The reports of Russian troops being...

Overall an internal explosion seems to be the most likely explanation. But the collapse due to damage from being overtopped can't be ruled out. The progressive damage to the roadway over the gates is certainly something to think about. And there's a murky hybrid model. Perhaps explosives had...

This video has been making the rounds on Social Media claiming to show an explosion on the Dam on June 6, 2023. But it's really from November 11, 2022. Russian forces were ordered to withdraw on Nov 9 during the final stages of the Kherson counteroffensive. Russian forces damaged the roadway...

I'm seeing suggestions here and there that the Nova Kakhovka Dam may not have been damaged on purpose. It's unclear whether explosives were involved. It may be a breach due to neglect, including not maintaining the reservoir at the proper level. Could the dam have been damaged by the water...
