A powerful earthquake on Friday hit Russia's Far East with tremors felt as far away as Moscow, about 7,000 kilometers (4,400 miles) west of the epicenter.

 

Marina Kolomiyets, spokeswoman for Obninsk's seismic station of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told The Associated Press the epicenter was in the Sea of Okhotsk, east of the Russian coast and north of Japan. She said the quake registered 8.0 on the Richter scale.

May 24, 2013 – RUSSIA, FAR EAST - The remote volcano in the northern Kuriles is probably in eruption, the latest SVERT report and satellite images suggest. A plume of gas and steam, and possibly some minor amounts ash was seen with the MODIS sensor onboard the NASA Terra satellite this morning. Satellite data also indicate that activity had likely already started in early May, because a small thermal anomaly can be traced back on archive pictures to 7 May. One should take into account that frequent dense cloud cover often prevents such observations, so activity could have started earlier than that. It is not known what kind of activity is occurring at the volcano. Possibilities include some minor explosive (strombolian ?) activity at the summit, or lava flows that might be reaching the sea and produce the steam plume observed. The last eruption of the volcano was (probably) in 2004.

 

Massive hot water geyser erupts in parking lot in Russia (video)

April 19, 2013 – RUSSIA – Cameras in Russia seem to capture everything from fiery meteors to crazy crashes. The latest video comes from a camera mounted high above the main square in Smolensk, overlooking a busy parking lot on what appears to be a nice sunny day. It takes but seconds for a small cloud of steam, appearing harmless at first, to erupt into a hot water geyser rivaling Old Faithful. What you don’t see from the video are the brick-sized chunks of pavement and rocks that were launched into the air and onto the surrounding vehicles. Within minutes, a large flow of water has flooded the parking area as the natural geyser continues to spew water and steam hundreds of feet into the air. If this happened in our backyard, we would hightail it out of town fearing another eruption of Vesuvian magnitude – yet the locals in Smolensk seem only slightly disrupted, continuing to seek open spots in the parking lot despite the odd chaos mere yards away.

GOT MEOW? Russia does...

Sekhmet and possibly Christine's crew are up there..I dont hear it on the video(looks like a re-release from months ago) but claims from Russia recently after the Meteor claim MEOW-ing or similar interrupting ATC chats between tower and pilots.

 

ATC data indicating 1971 and 0000 as no flight beacon recieved. Look at how fast it moves! About 30 miles up or so and doing this.

 

Where's a UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR when you need one..and not that we do, because WE HERE KNOW LOVE's language...and the first thing I'd do after something like that METEOR is make sure everyone down there is ok.

 

ET is here folks...oddly enuf, just as I've and others have mentioned.

 

Lets see how well we get a responce over the bands. I cant use the SW freq I had before, maybe next month, this time I have a scanner too.. lets see how things evolve..

 

Still reporting red,white , and blue fast blinkers over CORAM,NY. DO NOT appear to be aircraft. Spotted near sunset.

Highway from Kazakhstan to Chelyabinsk, Russia

 

 

The meteor that exploded over Russia Friday was slightly larger than previously thought and more powerful, too, NASA scientists say.The Russian meteor explosion over the city of Chelyabinsk, on Friday (Feb. 15), injured more than 1,000 people and blew out windows across the region in a massive blast captured on cameras by frightened witnesses. Friday afternoon, NASA scientists estimated the meteor was space rock about 50 feet (15 meters) and sparked a blast equivalent of a 300-kiloton explosion. The energy estimate was later increased to 470 kilotons
