Russia just got rocked by a meteor exploding in the air. An asteroid flies over the indian ocean. And now we get a (harmless atleast) meteor shower here in the eastern in the USA.

Earth must be passing through a comet's tail, or some other kind of rock strewn patch of space.

Another lit up the west coast.

Comet trails are only a few days wide, as we move two million miles a day, so these come from a more diverse source.

I think we will see a lot more.
