What does the Mag storm data from yesterday have to do with the meteorite that did its thing over Russia?

Conjecture
If the meteroid's composition contained iron - a conductor- as the object travelled through Earth's magnetic field currents and electromagnetic radiation are induced.
As it travels through atmosphere, the air is ionized.

The first picture in post #20 was released way earlier than the incident that happened in Russia... It is a picture about mag storm data... When people copy and paste they should do a better job 8)

So where do you get the environmental permit to crash a meteor into earth? And where did they hold the public meetings on this?

have often thought that where there's one, there has to be more....and usually, the smaller ones are out in front..............
