Sixth meteor airburst this year and whale stranding in Nigeria

Sixth airburst this year. A 3:3 land/sea ratio and 6:1 compared to 2024.

2025, February 12. Greenland was 230km inland from Baffin Sea or in the SW quarter of the country. Airburst. Coordinates: (73.4N 49.3W). e = 4, -e = 0.13 or 130,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 42km. Velocity: 21.0 km/sec.

2025, February 12. Nigeria, Riverine in Nigeria Delta. Dead humpback washed ashore. Locals used the meat regardless of health warnings not to do so. It is common in Nigeria for communities to eat whale meat which supports families for many months.

Glacier retraction and meteor streams

An interesting discovery in my research has been the sporadic retraction of glaciers globally. I will write further about this in the future; however, this is one of the main findings. Europe versus Greenland. In Europe the glaciers are under a condition of rapid retreat whereas in Greenland they are growing or stable. Why? The answer seems to be in meteoroid streams and the scattering of iron and other elements into the atmosphere. Europe since 1850 has been a very active region for meteor activity whereas in Greenland it seems to be rather non-existent and still is. This stream or activity is steadily moving westward. The darker snow gets the more heat it will absorb and this seems to be the case in Europe. There is also a correlation in other parts of the world. Once again meteors are the quiet killer that are not just affecting whales, they are affecting other environmental foundations we rely on. 

Why Strandings Occur Days, Weeks, or Months Later after meteor events

A common misconception is that an environmental acoustic event must cause an immediate, on-the-spot stranding. Physical pathologies often te...
