Airburst in Namibia

2026, June 11. Namibia, Etosha Pan, Etosha National Park. Airburst. Overland. Time: 02:00:58UT. Coordinates: (18.7S;16.1E). Altitude: 33.0 km/s. Energy: e = 3.2e10, -e = 0.11 or 110,000 kg/TNT. Velocity Components: NA.

There have been meteor reports in South Africa from eMalahleni, in the north, to Cape Town. 

Perfect place to locate meteorites. 

Also:

2026, June 14. South China Sea, Seen in Brunei (Lambak to Sungai Akar) and Malaysia. A bright emerald green fireball lit up sky. Time: 8:33 PM. Duration 7 seconds and travelling NNW.

2026, June 16. South Africa, Zululand coastline, in the vicinity of 9 Mile Beach north of Sodwana Bay, within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. A large dead humpback whale washed ashore.

2026, June 16. USA, Washington. Two decomposed gray whales washed ashore, one near Moclips and another near Quinault Reservation.

2026, June 17. USA, Washington, Ocean Shores. Gray whale washed ashore.

Alternate routes of the cachalot (sperm whale) in Indonesia after meteor activity

Indonesia, Bali. Multiple sperm whales have recently been spotted off the north coast of Bali, particularly near Pemuteran in Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency. Sightings are not unusual but have become more frequent in recent weeks. Whales often appear in pairs, though sometimes individually. Up to four whales in one day. Sightings occurred across several points, from Pemuteran to waters north of Bukit Ser. These sightings do not indicate a permanent migration route. Northern Bali waters are enclosed, with only one eastern access point, so whales are likely just passing through. More consistent migration routes are found in the Sawu Sea, Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua.

February 6th in the Cerman Sea, there was an airburst. October 1st in Malaysia/Brunei, there was a meteor explosion, and 4 days later on October 5th in West Java, another large sonic boom was reported.  

The meteor incidents themselves are not the primary cause; rather, it is the meteor streams that accompany these events. As discussed in previous posts, these streams—occurring on either side of the main event—can last for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or even longer. Combine this with cetacean sensitivity, and they will reroute their passages.

This disorientation of habitat/migration could see an elevated risk of beaching events.

Meteor Airburst in South China Sea. Updated Singapore Fireball - Two events in the South China Sea

2024, May 24. South China Sea. Airburst. Approximately 200 km from Borneo/Brunei. (latitude: 6.6, longitude: 114.2). e = 5.4. -e = 0.18 or 180,000 kg/TNT. This is 50,000kg/TNT bigger than the recent Portugal airburst/meteor. Altitude = 42 km. Velocity: 36.5 km/s.

Marine animal disturbance could be observed on the N.W coastline of Borneo and the Philippine Island of Palawan in the next 14 days. After this time interval dead animals are usually found. It should be noted a large number of cetaceans have been observed to stand in the area in the last month. This could mean a meteoroid stream has been active for some time; in other words, precursor material has been entering Earth's atmosphere.

Google Maps

The event below was near Singapore and can be seen on the map above. The event happened just hours after the Borneo airburst. Note: Thunderstorms and meteor activity are closely related, causing atmospheric disturbances that can be disastrous for air travel. 

2024, May 24. Singapore. Large meteor/fireball. Time: Approximately 23:47.
