A Meteorite Colored Blue

I have done several pages on the Blue Star which was considered to be a Nova in ancient times. Eventually, I was able to apply the "Doppler Shift" to what I had read and what I was seeing in the iconography. Yet an astronomer scolded me for this idea of mine, claiming there was no way that the "Doppler"could apply to a star/comet/meteorite seen with the naked eye because,only the giant telescopes could determine the shift of red (leaving the area, receding from the viewer) and blue (arriving into ouratmosphere; coming toward the viewer).

I wonder why no one ever told the Aztecs or the Mixtecs of Mexico that. In the Codex Vindobonensis, there is a small figure at the bottom of Lamina V (48) is colored blue and is covered with stars symbols. I would say that this is a good indication that the star was a multiple display. . . similar to Ezekiel's description in Ez.1:1 in both the KJ And the Torah. This does not necessarily mean that Ezekiel was in the Mixtec area; it only indicates that this particular blue star was seen world wide as a particular color. And why not? The sky is not isolated over the Aztec lands, the Mixtec lands, or the Maya lands, or even over the Peruvian mountains. As the earth rotates, the stars appear to move across the sky in the opposite direction. Each area probably sees a different view of the sky during the night, due of course, to their different latitiudes.

The 1911 Look Magazine review of Halley's Comet which claimed that the comet was an iridescent blue did not shake the astronomer's resolve. No primitive culture is capable of seeing a Doppler image in color. Apparently, he knew that Halley's was a comet of a different type. Yet, a real person, who is not an astronomer, sent me an e-mail about his view of a meteorite over the mud flats in his homeland, New Zealand. Because his greeting Kia Ora, a Maori greeting, appeared to be a combination of Hebrew and Latin which translated as "vomit [from the] mouth" I did not believe him, even though "expelled from the mouth" could actually indicate "Words" and not what we expect to see when the word vomit is used. His second e-mail convinced me that he was, not only telling the truth about the event, but he also had a very good concept of how it sounded.

In one of the links I noticed you said that no-one has ever heard the sound of a meteorite. Well I have. I [will tell you about] the first one [that] flew over the Mapua Mudflats. The first time was in the early 70's in Nelson, New Zealand, when one flew over us as we were fishing, at about 1-30 am. it can best be described as a "hiss and a roar."
It had a bluish cone and a vivid white tail that lit up the whole area like daylite,an awesome sight to behold.

The 2nd one I heard was only about a month ago,I did not see the 2nd one, as I was in bed, but the windows were open as were the curtains, and again it lit up the valley where I live now, in Cheviot, New Zealand at 4-15 am, and that sound was like roaring flames. The best way to emulate that sound, would be to imagine a ball of burlap soaked in fuel, set on fire and whirled about one's head, only much louder.

The sound of a Meteorite at Lake Tagis,in Canada a couple of years ago was recorded on a video. In the 70's when the New Zealand strike occurred, there were no home videos; which is similar to not having a television, a computer or a cell phone, a microwave, or an SUV, such as cannot even be imagined today by the younger generation.

The astronomer's view of a Doppler effect not being visible on earth, only through giant telescopes, does not explain why there are so many references to a "blue" entity. The Hopi have a Kachina doll which a blue star form on the face instead of eyes, nose and mouth. The Hopi are "not sure" if this doll represents a meteorite. However, in its hand is a bell. A noisemaker that is not a pleasant sound probably is just an indicator of the sonic boom created as a meteorite comes to earth.

In India, the origin of the Buddhist religion, Krishna is a benign aspect of a blue entity in the sky. He is a god of the tree filled with sparkling saris, owned by women swimming in the river. It is a good example of cultural diffusion, where the tree could be the Milky Way and the saris, could be the many stars found there. The women swimming in the river is only a common sense reason why the saris were in the "tree."

The Aztec version of the "blue" entity is an iridescent blue/green serpent being who almost destroyed the Aztec world, except that the natives entered the seven caves and survived. The "blue" entity, then became the god called Huitzilopochtli. Joyce Marcus, in her book Mesoamerican Writing Systems, described the Temple of Huitzilopochtli located in Tenochtitlan.

In that book, her description of the second Temple of Huitzilopochitli was very explicit about the color "blue." Ms. Marcus stated that "a new ruler, as an inauguree, was dressed in a blue-green cape that bore the design of fleshless bones. The new ruler wore a turquoise diadem (xiuhuitzolli), a turquoise nose adornment (yacaxiuitl orciuhyacamitl) and a turquoise-colored cape with turquoise stones knotted into it (xiuhyacamitl) in honor of the old Fire God also known as Xiuhtecuhtli, the Turquoise Lord (or the returning Comet)."1

But the best description I have ever found is that of a blue star in the short end of the constellation, the Northern Cross. In Hawaii, this Cross is seen upside down, but it is still located in the Milky Way. It is said that the blue star is called URI; however, the missionaries decided to change the spelling of certain letters and altered URI to read ULI.
The Hawaiian dictionary definition of ULI is that of a dark color, blue or black associated with sorcery and witch doctors of the islands. Even so, the original spelling is associated with the Mother/wife of Tane the main god of ancient Hawaii. It has little to do with sorcery, or witch doctors. This goddess, called URI, sent down to the sea a great white bird with an iridescent rainbow tail in its wake. The bird carried a great flaming stone on its back, similar to an image found in Maya's Rio Blanco's incised pottery and in Ek Balam. The Maya placed a bowl between the fire stone and the bird.2
In Hawaii, it was said, that the bird dropped the fire ball into the ocean where it bounced in and out of the water, until "it grew roots" and formed the Hawaiian Islands.3

A similar entity is found in the Nuttall Codex of the Mixtecs in Mexico. Instead of a giant bird, it is a jaguar with a star sitting in a red bowl on its back. He is making a hole in the sky through burning maw in a heaven star band ( Nuttall p. 31: right middle) PLease notice that the star band is reversed or upside down, not only for the Jaguar with a bowl on its back, but for the fractured Tlaloc above him. Yet the rest of the star bands are in the correct position. This appears to say that the entity carrying the meteor on the back was first seen (or last seen) south of the Equator where the constellations are reversed, or upside down. It agrees also with the story of Huitzilopochtli in the book "The Flayed God" by Roberta and Peter Markman. The story is found on pp. 384-386. It claims that this god founght with his brothers and sisters, the stars and chased them to southern climes where he killed them all, thus he acquired their gear and ornaments and considered them his symbols from that point on. On the Palenque West Panel there is a phrase that GI took the heart of the Death God and threw it into the ocean. Are not these units all the same god entity, a astronomy event that was altered into personae instead of stars?
The Hawaiian description is that of a stone heated to kelvin (1000 +) degrees falling into water heated to centigrade or farenheit (100 +) degrees. It was "thrown" off the back of the bird. As this "stone" bounced in and out of the water, not only did it break up into smaller pieces when it hit the water, it also sizzled, like grease on a hot griddle. Formal texts found in A Chronicle of Pre-telescopic Astronomy (archaeoastronomy) records some meteor[s] in the year 861 AD had the color RED as they "fought a duel in the center of the sky".4
Even though it is found in an article about auroras, two entities that are fighting a duel in the sky could indicate a dual comet or meteor passing through the area of the Northern Lights, or the north end of the Milky Way.

This is reminiscent of the blue bull, the red dragon, and the magical bird with two feathers in its tail (similar to the Maya Quetzal), all sky entities of China. They each had a battle in the sky; the blue bull with the golden-eyed monkey god; two dragons with a magic pearl or "ball" 

or the bird and a dragon with a fire ball. These were formal power symbols of the Chinese emperors.
It is also appeara to be part of the Aztec poem called "The Birth of the Fifth Sun," which reiterates the "sizzling" of the one of the two antagonists of the sky.(Section IV, Line 51). In lines 20 to 31, the prominent entity approaches then retreats from a blazing fire four different times.5 Was that an indication of an entity dueling with the fires of an aurora? Also, how did the humans on earth hear the sizzling sound? Where were they? In Italy? They probably would not have seen the Northern Lights. In Mexico, they could not have seen the Northern Lights unless it was a grand inversion of the atmosphere.

Even though it is doubtful if these examples of blue or red stars are related to cultural diffusion, it may have reflected the Muslim war missles that during the time of the Crusades were sent as pots of fire through the skies and were called "dragons." The Muslims were astronomers in all parts of the known world.
