2016-01-03 - Three mysterious metal spheres fall out of the sky after atmospheric explosion in Vietnam:
http://tuoitrenews.vn/society/32562/unknown-spheres-found-dropping-onto-northern-vietnam

Quote: "The first sphere was found by local residents in Tuyen Quang Province, following a loud noise from a supposed aerial explosion on Saturday morning."

Note: Some strange orbs fell out of the sky near Calasparra (Spain) recently too, mentioned in the 2015-11-10 update. Maybe these are some kind of autonomous drones being used to try to mitigate the atmospheric contamination problem, perhaps by generating ozone to react away hydrogen sulfide and methane. Ozone can't be transported because it's too reactive, so it has to be generated where you need it. We need it in the atmosphere, to postpone the extermination of mankind by at least a little bit, so maybe that's what these things do. They must use electricity, so they may ignite concentrated gas plumes and get knocked out of the sky by fires and/or explosions from time to time - not unlike all the planes that have been coming down smoking or burning in recent times - but they're clearly unmanned, so some loss is acceptable. If I was Vietnam, I'd crack these spheres open and have some smart people take a good hard look at what's inside...

http://kron4.com/2016/01/03/a-property-fire-caused-some-injuries-and-property-damage-in-solano-county/

Quote: "It took fire crews from six agencies to control the flames that took down the two story home and destroyed five cars. John Zazrivy with the Solano County Incident Management Team said the family living inside the house wasn't home at the time of the fire, but they are now displaced."

Note: So more unknown orbs crashing out of the sky, after an atmospheric explosion this time, and more piles of parked vehicles igniting and sometimes destroying whatever buildings are nearby. The more vehicles you have, the greater the chance that one will ignite and destroy the others too, if they're parked near each other anyway...

Quote: "Ahmad said that the rumor in their neighborhood was that the young couple had purposefully set themselves on fire in order to commit suicide, although there was no evidence yet to support that conclusion."

Note: Mighty huge assumption there, taking into account the numerous people who've burst into flame and who definitely didn't commit suicide. Also, I'm sure any young couple that did want to commit suicide would be very highly likely to find a better way to accomplish the goal than BURNING TO DEATH...

2016-01-12 - Tire shop erupts in flame in the wee hours, fire spreads to restaurant, in Harris County (Texas):
http://www.click2houston.com/news/two-east-harris-county-businesses-catch-fire

Note: A massive tire fire just burned 130,000 tires in coastal Melbourne (Australia) too, mentioned in the 2016-01-10 update, the same day that Melbourne was hit by a huge cloud of unidentified sulfur-smelling noxious gas that sickened people. The problem with tires is that they contain steel wires, so if any old tires are around and some hydrogen sulfide blows by, the rusty steel may spark and since it's right next to flammable rubber, you may get a fire. Some of the tire fires in recent years have been outrageously huge, some so big they could be seen from space...

2016-01-12 - Pallet company erupts in flame at 2 AM, fire gets huge, in Albuquerque (New Mexico):
http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s4014518.shtml
http://www.koat.com/news/fire-erupts-at-south-valley-business/37387444

Quote: "Firefighters are trying to figure out what caused a massive fire at a business in the South Valley early Tuesday morning. Officials say around 2 a.m. they were dispatched to the 3500 block of Broadway Boulevard SE after a wood pallet company caught on fire."

Note: Pallets are much like tires - they're made with steel nails or screws, which rust, and since the rust is right next to flammable wood (which may itself have adsorbed methane and/or hydrogen sulfide), then if some hydrogen sulfide blows by, you may get a fire. Some of the pallet fires in recent years have also been outrageously huge and also so big they could be seen from space...

Quote: "The blaze broke out at 5:30 a.m. at a home in the 300 block of St. Mary Street in Burlington. The blaze was so large it even forced a nearby school to close for the day. Roof timbers, estimated to be 100 years old or older, fueled the intense flames from a four house row of homes in the historic river town."
