[QUOTE="Opmmur, post: 59852, member: 13"] [SIZE=5][B]3-D Radar of Mystery Object That Hit Louisiana[/B][/SIZE] [B]10/16/2012 9:23:27 AM[/B] According to the National Weather Service, a large bunker explosion occurred Monday night in Webster Parish, La., around 30 miles east of Shreveport. The event occurred near the border of the Camp Minden Army ammunition plant. "A large flash was observed," [URL='http://www.srh.noaa.gov/shv/?n=webster-parish']the Shreveport, La., National Weather Service reported[/URL]. "[C]itizens were shaken out of bed and windows were shattered during the late night hours Oct. 15." The explosion occured shortly before 11:28 p.m. The explosion sent a mystery object flying that was captured by radar in Shreveport. Speculation this morning focused on the possibilities of UFO's and meteors before the confirmation of the bunker explosion was released. AccuWeather's Jesse Ferrell pulled some 3D radar images from GRLevelX software this morning of the "mystery object."

This was a significant object, showing up at a reflectivity of 42 dBZ (which would normally be "moderate rain") but it is also a very small object, when seen in comparison to the radar screen: [IMG]http://vortex.accuweather.com/adc2004/pub/includes/columns/community/2012/471x418_10161352_2drad2.png[/IMG] No injuries have been reported from the incident.
