Mysterious Texas-Louisiana fireball cover-up, Oct. 15, 2012

Why the need to cover-up a fireball story? Well, let’s see.

On Oct. 15, 2012, witnesses reported a fireball that streaked across Texas skies and possibly slammed to earth in northwest Louisiana late Monday night around 11:30 p.m., shaking homes and businesses and possibly gouging out a trench in the earth.

According to the Houston Chronicle, the fireball lit up the skies near Killeen and Temple, Texas, and exploded with a loud, earth-shaking boom in Webster Parish, Louisiana. Alas, since the first reports, the “heavy foot of the cover-up” has come down hard on the story. Conflicting reports and contradictory stories abound.

The explosion resulted in a flood of phone calls to the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office and the KSLA News 12 newsroom. Witnesses reported, “Something came down” rather than blew up. One report said it shook the Webster Courthouse in Minden. Reports of shaking came in from Lake Bistineau, Springhill, Sibley, and Barksdale Air Force Base. They also poured into the National Weather Service office in Shreveport who (at that time) “didn’t have any idea what it was.» Of course, USGS reported no earthquakes in the area.

Other reports of a loud boom, shaking, rattling, and damage came in from all over the area, including Barskdale Air Force Base. In fact, the loud boom was first reported as an explosion at Barskdale Air Force Base, but the base spokesperson said the explosion did not originate there.

Webster Parish authorities set out to find the source of the bright flash in the sky, the loud boom, and the shaking of residences and businesses in northwest Louisiana.

According to the Shreveport Times, Webster Parish Sheriff Sexton earlier said he was driving in the Springhill-Cullen area when he saw two flashes from the south. Also according to the Shreveport Times, the sheriff’s office entertained the possibility that the source of the explosion might have been a meteorite, possibly in the Dixie Inn area, but as of Monday night, they “did not know what it was or where it hit.»

One of the first places Sheriff Sexton checked on Monday night was Camp Minden, which he gave the all clear – no explosion there either.

By Tuesday morning, authorities had called in NASA and others to help investigate the loud boom, and the heavy foot of damage control “cover-up” came down hard on the fireball sighting witnessed by so many in Texas and Louisiana. Confusing and conflicting explanations emerged.

Did a meteor or munitions cause the mysterious explosion in Louisiana on Monday, Oct. 15, 2012?

According to Nancy Lieder of ZetaTalk, NASA often uses meteor showers as an excuse for the fireballs caused by Planet X, with the debris from the tail ascribed to meteor showers. She says NASA may jump in and make claims after a fireball spate, but only in a sad attempt to explain the increase in fireballs screaming across several provinces, states, or countries around the world.

Even though Webster Parish authorities found no evidence of an explosion on Monday, by Tuesday morning they were “absolutely certain about what happened.” The fireball sighting had morphed into an underground munitions explosion.

Somehow the Sheriff’s department had «missed the underground bunker explosion” in the dark, even though it was said to have sent a huge debris plume more than 7,000 ft. in the air and damaged nearby buildings – probably a very dark night. But wait, things became even more interesting and complicated.

According to Webster Parish Chief Deputy Igo, the mysterious underground bunker belonged to a company named Explo Systems, Inc., whose officials would explain the loud boom at a 9 a.m. press conference on Tuesday morning. The 9 a.m. meeting was first pushed to 11 a.m., and then suddenly canceled at the last minute – no explanation given. When later reached by phone, Explo Chief Operations Officer Terri Wright had “no comment.” Neither Explo officials nor state or local authorities ever said what kinds of explosives were stored in the mysterious bunker.

In any case, on Tuesday morning, the damage control “cover-up” had became even more confusing. A Fox news report stated that on Monday night, “students had been evacuated from the school” – at 11:30 at night? – and somehow the sheriff’s office was unaware of this, as well as the exploding underground bunker with the 7,000 ft. debris plume.

Sheriff Sexton had said earlier there was a possibility that a meteor did hit the ground in the area, a theory (sort of) put to rest with the “almost” confirmation of the underground exploding bunker. (Remember some witnesses reported “something coming down” rather than blowing up, but who are you to believe.)

Later, the National Weather Service, who previously had no idea what the loud boom was, issued the following statement: Monday night at around 11:26 pm, a large explosion occurred to the southwest of Dixie Inn in Webster Parish, approximately (sic) 4 miles southwest of Minden or 28 miles east of Shreveport. The initial event occurred at Latitude/Longitude 35.578 N, -93.351 W, which is in the borders of the Camp Minden Army ammunition plant. A large flash was observed, citizens were shaken out of bed and windows were shattered during the late night hours of October 15, 2012.

Could there be a connection between fireballs streaking over Texas and gouging out earth in Louisiana and the sinkhole in Bayou Corne, Louisiana? The Bayou Corne salt domes store petroleum, and thanks to the sinkhole, they are leaking and collapsing.

What would happen if a flaming fireball came down on a leaking salt dome? Will the public ever be told the truth about what really happened in Louisiana on Oct. 15, 2012? Probably not.

Some witness comments follow:
In Avery, Texas, Karen Rust “was out with my little dog last night and I saw a huge ball of fire fall to the earth from the sky east/southeast of my home. It was very big and very bright. It had a tail on it so I assumed it was a meteor. I went in and posted it on Facebook so when I told someone about it they wouldn’t think I was crazy.»
KSLA viewer, Shana Levick, was driving on I-20 when she saw the sky light up a bright orange color. She also saw what appeared to be small fire sparks above the tree lines.
Laura Kester Moehring wrote on the KTBS Facebook, «Felt the boom at 11:30, but also was driving west on I-20 in Shreveport at 10:30, when my husband and I both saw a greenish glow streaking rather low and shakily across the sky with sparks behind it. Angle was from the NW. Couldn’t estimate distance.»
A resident of the Lake Bistineau area reported it almost shook their house off its foundation.
