Bolide used in a sentence

Bolide in a sentence as a noun

> it seems a bit improbable that a bolide would just so happen to hit the armory.

It could be something very fast and far away, like a bolide leaving a trail of debris.

Past climate change has been driven by all sorts of factors, from bolide impacts through volcanic eruptions to large-scale forest fires.

Is there any evidence inconsistent with the bolide hypothesis?

At only one place in the paper do they admit that the osmium/osmium isotope ratios found in their samples, from the one cave, do, in fact, match a known bolide.

Not what I said - the Chelyabinsk meteor was a large ferric bolide, which isn't the kind of meteor which typically airbursts - that's reserved for less dense material.

It is also telling that we find certain bolides to have an osmium isotope ratio in the range they consider a problem--and they know about those.

He spends lots of time talking about pykrete and bolides and orbital mechanics and robot swarms and space habitats, and in the end it doesn't feel like he spends very much time talking about people.

Indeed - a bolide crossing the city from northeast to southwest is by far the most plausible explanation, though, as the sky was clear, it would surely have been seen as a fireball, as in Chelyabinsk?

There is no plausible scenario that can do that: nuclear weapons won't do it, biological warfare won't do it, bolide impacts even at the scale of the Sudbury or Chicxulub probably can't do it.

What reversed the failure 1200-odd years later?Evidence for a bolide strike producing a huge meltwater pulse, to start the process, is accumulating, coinciding with extinction of 30+ genera and the sudden end of the Clovis culture.

Without citing current problem children, geology until quite recently forbade mention of catastrophic events like bolide strikes, and psychology filtered all hypotheses through behaviorism.

When you look at history of our planet over evolutionary timescales, you see all kinds of disruptive events -- rapidly rising or falling seas; bolide impacts as powerful as tens of millions of nuclear bombs -- which the planet has managed to shrug off with apparent ease.

I've seen a bolide in broad daylight, which was literally a "holy **** drop to your knees in awe" moment, but I've also on a few occasions seen patterns of lights moving in impossible fashions - high speed motion, instantaneous vector changes, followed by insane acceleration and disappearance.

Many of the videos of it breaking up show an object approaching it at huge velocity from the rear the moment before it breaks apart, with many fragments accelerating relative to the previous speed of the bolide - again, not typical break-up behaviour - that would be the Gazelle, automatically intercepting a high speed object entering highly protected military airspace.
