Meteor airburst in Southern Ocean

2025, March 29. Southern Ocean. Airburst. Coordinates: (49.3S, 14.3E). Altitude: 21.6km. Velocity: 12.3 km/s. E = 5.9. -e = 0.19, 190,000 kg/TNT. 2,200 km north of Antarctica and 1,700 km SSW of Cape Town South Africa. With northerly cetacean migration underway, you don't want to see this. A Marine Animal Disturbance should be noted for southern Africa in the upcoming months.

Meteor airburst 2024-2025 ratio 3:14.

Cetacean strandings and meteor events since the 22nd of March

2025, March 22. UK, North East and Cumbria, Redcar beach, Teesside. Dead Porpoise.

2025, March 21. UK, Sandwich Bay, 15km north of Dover. Dead Porpoise.

2025, March 23. North Sea. Fireball. Time: 21:40 UT. Seen traveling from Calais in France moving NNE across the North Sea for approximately 250 km.

2025, March 24. South Africa, Hartenbos, Mossel Bay. A stranded beaked whale euthanized after attempts to refloat.

2205, March 24. Canada, Haida Gwaii, Graham Island, Rose Spit. A large whale found in advanced state of decomposition.

2025, March 25. Scotland, Fife, Torryburn Beach. Dead porpoise.

2025, March 25. Ireland, Waterford Estuary. Sperm whale in estuary. Unusual.

2025, March 27. Pacific Ocean, 920km WSW of Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Large Airburst. Coordinates: (14.3N, 111.5W). e = 104.5, -e = 2.4 or 2,400,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 38.1km. Vel: 21.3km/s. Marine Animal Disturbance Alert. This comes after the December 20 airburst at the same latitude, 1443 km to the east. Two very significant events. Due to this event, cetaceans such as Humpback and Risso's dolphins could be vulnerable. Gray, for this event, is not as much due to its location. This brings the 2024-2025 airburst ratio to 3:13. A comet not seen in 160,000 years is entering the inner solar system, so it will be interesting to see what it brings with it. The MAD'S for Brazil and the central Indian Ocean are still in effect to this date.

2025, March 29. USA, San Fransisco Bay, Alcatraz Dock. Dead Gray whale.

2025, March 29. British Virgin Islands, Caribbean Sea. Dead humpback whale floating at sea.

Marine Animal Disturbance Alert for Mexico, central American countries and USA

Marine Animal Disturbance Alert.

2025, March 27. Pacific Ocean, 920km WSW of Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Large Airburst. Coordinates: (14.3N, 111.5W). e = 104.5, -e = 2.4 or 2,400,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 38.1km. Vel: 21.3km/s.

This comes after the December 20 airburst at the same latitude, 1443 km to the east. Two very significant events. Due to this event, cetaceans such as Humpback, Orca, and Risso's dolphins could be vulnerable. Gray is not as much due to its location. The upcoming migration season could see whale stranding all the way to Pacific NW. 

This brings the 2024-2025 airburst ratio to 3:13. A comet not seen in 160,000 years is entering the inner solar system, so it will be interesting to see what it brings with it.

The MAD'S for Brazil and the central Indian Ocean are still in effect.

Airburst in Asia's line of meteor activity

2025, March 21. Western Australia, Karlamilyi National Park. Airburst. Coordinates: (22.8S, 123.5E). Altitude: 54.2 km. Velocity: NA. e = 3.9, -e = 0.13 or 130,000 kg/TNT.

Update

A second one was detected. This is not the time of year we want to see airbursts in the Southern Ocean "region". Summer feeding grounds?? Not good. And as the cetaceans head into their migration routes north in upcoming months this could lead to mass whale strandings. If airbursts are being detected, that means a load of debris is activating the atmosphere.

2025, March 24. Antarctica, 480km SSE of Casey station. Airburst. Coordinates: (70.4S, 114.2E). Altitude: 21.5km. Velocity: 28.2 km/s. Energy: 4.9, -e = 0.16 or 160,000 kg/TNT.

The 1946 mass False Killer whale stranding in Argentina

1946, October 6-10. Meteor Shower (1946 Outburst). The Draconid meteor shower, originating from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, peaked on October 9, 1946. This event was particularly remarkable, with observers reporting meteor rates ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 per hour. Despite a full moon that night, the shower's intensity made it visible across various regions, including South America. A fishing vessel captain off the coast of Uraguay stated that “the stars were overflowing”.

1946, October 9. Argentina, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Playa Bristol in Mar del Plata. A mass stranding of 835 false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens). There were reports that the super pod consisted of over 1200 individuals. The largest known stranding of this species to date.
