Meteor activity off the coat of Peru/Ecuador Region in Pacific Ocean

The map below shows bolide activity from July 1st to August 14th. During the period so far, I have the following strandings and other marine species deaths. 

2026, July 7. Peru, Lambayeque, San José Cove. A large female Humpback whale washed ashore dead in an advanced state of decomposition. Comes after reports of 250 sea birds, 6 sea lions, and other species found dead. Blamed on El Nino.  

2026, August 18. Peru, Playa Colán, Paita, Piura, Northern sector of Colán Beach, adjacent to the Olympic Perú Inc. plant facilities A Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), Subadult, approximately 10 meters in length. Specialists reported the whale was in an advanced state of decomposition upon discovery, indicating it had likely died days earlier offshore and drifted onto the beach. No definitive necropsy or signs of fishery interaction could be confirmed due to decay.

2026, August 24. Perú, Paita, Piura, Colán beach. A humpback whale calf was found stranded. This is the second stranding recorded recently in the area.


Update 202608224. Second wave of California/Mexico stranding could be underway. Below are yellow crosses denoting cetacean strandings. There was another large meteor not represented here. Even though it did happen before the stranding of a baleen whale it occurred too close in time for the whale that had been dead for some days. It does, though, indicate the amount of activity in the region. 2026, August 23. Canada, British Columbia, Strait of Georgia. Fireball. Time: around 03:34UT, 20:34PDT. Concurrent sound: Static/cracking/fizzing not super loud but audible. Delayed sound; Sounded like a distance firework reverberation. Faint sonic boom.

Airburst in Equatorial South Atlantic - Updated 20240621

2024, June 1. South Atlantic Ocean, Equatorial region. Airburst. Time: 23:24. Coordinates: (-1, -15.9). e = 4.4, -e = 0.15. Altitude: 25.8 km. Velocity: 12.1 km/s. This comes 6 days after the last one to the west that saw a stranding of black dolphins in Brazil. Once they start grouping this way, they become destructive to marine wildlife, with pods of matriarchy cachalots at risk. This airburst is approximately 3x lower than the Portugal airburst and twice as low as the airburst to the N.E of Brazil.

A marine animal disturbance alert for the stranding of whales should be noted for the next three months. The regions include the northern Brazilian coastline (moderate risk). The west coast of Africa (high risk) with the shoreline between Senegal to the north and Ghana in the south estimated as the main stranding location. Ghana has been known for whale strandings with the continental shelf in the Gulf of Guinea a hot spot. This is a popular feeding ground for sperm whales and if injured and in need of easy food will gravitate towards this area.
