What is a meteor or meteorite? A meteor is a small body of matter apparently from outer space that upon entering the Earth's atmosphere resembles a streak of light, what we normally call falling stars. A meteorite is one of these that successfully hits the ground and sometimes other things, including people, buildings and animals!
Until 1803 most scientists regarded falls of meteorites as absurd and fantastical. As well as impossible. This was until the massive fall onto L'Aigle in France of thousands of meteorites on April 23rd 1803. Previously on November 11th 1799 there had also been a massive meteor shower comprising thousands of meteors that was seen all over the Earth. This is now known to be the Leonid meteors whose falls have diminished since. The Leonids come around every November, usually near the beginning of the month. Funny how this is a peak period for UFO sightings! That was accepted meteorites. Then you have such things as Black Comets. Black comets are extinct cometary nuclei which no longer create outgassing. No tail is visible. They are black and difficult to see in space unless they are passing celestial bodies. Even these seem apparently normal when you look at everything that has come crashing down, sometimes heavily and sometimes lightly, from the skies. Amongst the true meteorites and possible fragment of black comets, and possibly even antimatter, and even large blocks of ice, what then are the rest of these? That the majority of UFO sightings might actually be misidentified meteoric or cometary bodies. The list of incidents from the sky including numerous near misses. Are they meteors, comets or UFOs or a combination or misinterpretation of all of the above?
Astronomy books and papers far too numerous to cite offer the assurance that No one has ever been killed by a meteorite. (John S. Lewis, University of Arizona).
IF THESE WEREN'T METEORITES KILLING PEOPLE, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE!
I have also included ball lightning as well as other anomalous aerial and not so aerial phenomena which are often confused with meteors and meteorites as well as other luminous aerial sightings that do not fit in but could also be confused with meteors and meteorites.
