2015-12-17 - Mysterious fiery something seen falling from the sky at 7 AM near coastal Melbourne (Florida), nothing found:

http://www.sott.net/article/308723-Mystery-fireball-seen-falling-from-sky-in-Brevard-County-Florida

Quote: "A mysterious, fiery object falling from the sky was reported in Brevard County, prompting authorities to launch a search, officials said. Nothing was found after 911 callers reported seeing a fiery object falling to the ground. The calls were received about 7 a.m. Thursday, with reports of the mysterious object striking the area near the Interstate 95 onramp on the southbound side of Palm Bay Road. Palm Bay Fire Rescue crews and police searched the area but found nothing. A check with Melbourne International Airport also turned up no information about the mysterious object, News 6 partner Florida Today reported."

Quote: "The mystery will likely go unsolved, police say."

Note: I don't think there WAS an object here. What they likely saw was an atmospheric gas plume igniting, and it burned from the ignition point downward until there wasn't enough flammable gas left unburned to sustain the 'flash fire'. When that happens, it may look like a burning object in motion, but there's no actual object, which is why they found nothing. A man saw a huge expanding cloud of fire in the sky near coastal Port Townshend (Washington) in August, mentioned in the 2015-08-13 update. That too had to be a 'flash fire' burning off a cloud of flammable gas in the atmosphere, though the cloud he saw burning off must have been significantly larger than the one here in Florida. If the cloud is concentrated enough there may be an explosion and 'flash of light', as with all the mysterious unexplained city-shaking explosions reported around the world in recent years...

http://ban.jo/News/Asia/20151218/Cargo-Ship-On-Fire-In-Japan-Toyohashi/
http://seafarertimes.com/2015-16/node/1557

Quote: "A fire broke out in the cargo holds of the 'Xin Zhou' at 2.20 p.m on Dec 18, 2015, during loading of cargo of scrap in Toyohashi. Several firefighting vehicles and boats were engaged in fire fighting. The Chinese crew went ashore."

Note: The cargo ship 'Hong Yan' was hit by a scrap metal fire in November at 2:30 AM while docked in coastal Yokohama (Japan), mentioned in the 2015-11-12 update. Four days before that, the cargo ship 'Soya Maru', was hit by a scrap metal fire too, forcing the crew to abandon ship near coastal Matsuyama (Japan), mentioned in the 2015-11-08 update. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. Normally scrap metal isn't flammable but increasingly it is becoming so. A lot of the car fires that are blamed on arson are starting with tires, which are in the wheel well, which is where there is always rust, so they're surely blaming a great many car fires on arson that aren't arson. That's because fire investigators are jumping to conclusions and making assumptions, and they're somehow oblivious to the fact that parked vehicles are now spontaneously igniting all over the place and have been doing so for some time now. Competent investigators don't make assumptions or jump to conclusions...

And there's no reason that that won't continue...

http://www.southasianmedia.net/stories/maldives/english-language-media/boat-in-maldives-island-harbour-catches-fire-story

Quote: "Friday's fire is the latest in a series of maritime accidents, involving fires. A speedboat with three people onboard caught fire soon after departing from Reethi Rah resort in Kaafu Atoll on Thursday. The crew were the only people onboard the boat named 'Sirius 19' which was only carrying three. All three people jumped as soon as the fire broke out and were picked up by another speedboat soon after. In September, a speedboat carrying tourists from the airport caught fire leaving several injured."

Note: The speedboat fire was mentioned in the 2015-12-24 update, so that's two boats going up in flames in two days in the Maldives. These are the 1101st and 1102nd boats or ships to burn in 2015...

http://www.englishnews.info/sitio/news-uk.php?id=17-48529&id_sm=1&titulo=hgv-blaze-leaves-to-plumes-of-thick-black-smoke-above-burscough

Quote: "Emergency services were called to Burscough Industrial Estate at 12.40pm due to the Boxing Day blaze. The fire was said to involve a 'large number' of HGVs and no-one is believed to have been hurt in the incident. Smoke was visible for several miles and amateur footage showed vicious flames at the site, reported as being a waste management facility."

Note: Not sure what a 'large number' means, but in one of the pics it looks like at least 5 or 6, so I'll just call it five to be conservative. These are the 2057th through 2065th tractors/tankers/semis to burn in 2015...

Quote: "While two appliances were en route, the Fire Service received more calls reporting an explosion at the address. When fire crews arrived they could not see any fire or smoke. However, they found one person suffering 'pretty bad burns', according to Fire Service southern communications shift manager Daryl Ball."

Note: A cloud of methane blows in off the ocean, odorless and invisible, the cloud finds some static electricity or a vehicle or an electronic device or any kind of fire or heat source, and you might expect to explode into flame just like this. Sounds like one of those 'mysterious explosions' that have been reported around the world in recent years, except this explosion wasn't big enough to shake an entire city, and this time it did occur near a residence...

http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/crime/2015/12/29/fire-marshal-investigates-fatal-fire-townsend/78014420/

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, parked or driven. Park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see burning at your own risk. Also, some of these fires disable the electrical system of the vehicle, so if your windows are up and your doors are locked, you can get trapped and burn to death, as many people have. So I'd highly recommend keeping something handy in your vehicle with which to quickly break out windows and cut seatbelts, because if/when your vehicle ignites then you may have only seconds to act before you fall unconscious from lack of oxygen and then unless someone rescues you, you're dead...

Quote: "The homeowner, Dick Caskey, stood in disbelief as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze. 'It's a brand new barn,' Caskey said. 'We just got done rebuilding it after the fire last year.' Caskey was referring to an April 2014 structure fire, which consumed his old pole barn. Reportedly, the family lost two antique cars and several tractors and lawnmowers in the first fire."

Quote: "In a surreal New Year’s Eve tableau Thursday in Dubai, thousands watched an elaborate fireworks display erupt from the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Just a short distance away, another of the city’s huge towers, the nearly 1,000 foot tall Address Hotel, was engulfed in flame."

Quote: "The five-star hotel is near the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. At least one person suffered a heart attack from the smoke and over-crowding during evacuation, and 14 suffered minor injuries."

Note: The 'Marina Torch' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-02-20 update. The 'Marina Pinnacle' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-05-24 update. The 'Regal Tower' high-rise burned in Dubai this year, mentioned in the 2015-11-25 update. And in nearby coastal Sharjah, a high-rise residential building burned this year, mentioned in the 2015-10-01 update. It's not just high-rises burning on the coast in the UAE though, but cars (including multiple Lamborghinis), trucks, warehouses, recycling facilities, you name it. Because high-rise fires have becomes such a problem in recent times, the government there recently ordered 20 high-tech jetpacks for firefighters in Dubai, to use to fight such fires, mentioned in the 2015-11-12 update...

2015-12-31 - Car bursts into flame at 6 AM while parked at apartments, fire spreads, apartment building destroyed, in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut), 120 people homeless:

Quote: "The fire was reported at 215 Charles St. around 6 a.m., and started as a car fire. 'It was a car fire in the garage. Multiple cars caught on fire in the parking garage beneath the building. Everybody's evacuated,' said Bridgeport Assistant Fire Chief Michael Calderoni."

Quote: "The fire appears to have started in the garage, where several cars were burning under the building, and several residents said they woke up to find smoke and hear booms from below."

Quote: "A fast-moving blaze that ignited early Thursday left about 120 people homeless, creating a temporary housing crisis that’s shaping up as one of the worst in the state’s history."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. So a car ignited and caused what may be the worst housing crisis in Connecticut history. That's all it takes - one person not taking the problem seriously, parking a vehicle near or under an apartment building and boom, 120 people are now homeless and have lost everything...
