Meteor showers increase across the US, but the country still stinks

As noted in HNTB's previous article, Asteroidal coincidence - Scientists soften the warning system, just as the number of meteors hitting and lighting up the earth is increasing, scientists want to dampen reports.

A brilliant green fireball streaked over New England on Sunday, April 24th, at about 8 pm EDT. What was it? Probably a small asteroid, sofa-sized or so, breaking up in Earth's atmosphere. Such space rocks hit Earth frequently, but they are seldom observed because they appear, e.g., during the day or over uninhabited ocean. This one disintegrated over a densely populated area during the dark of evening while many people were awake to see it.

Contrary to some reports, the fireball was not a Lyrid meteor.

Sooner or later, someone will come out with a grand unified field theory to explain all of this. It'll be the least-read piece of shit you ever didn't see.

Asteroidal coincidence - Scientists soften the warning system

Good timing! Just as the number of meteorites hitting the earth and near-earth asteroids are increasing dramatically, scientists soften the asteroid risk-assessment system so that possible near-earth rendevous or collisions won't sound so bad.

If you believe the India Daily, "...some of these asteroids are artificially made invisible by the extraterrestrials and is used as their UFO bases for intergalactic travel." (That passes for news?)
