This phenomenon is called a meteor, or colloquially a "shooting star" or "falling star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. Incoming objects larger than several meters (asteroids or comets) can explode in the air. If a meteoroid, comet or asteroid or a piece thereof withstands ablation from its atmospheric entry and impacts with the ground, then it is called a meteorite.

Lending you a hand. I'm sure these dumb-fucks will try to refute your statement.
For what it's worth: First recorded meteorite strike of a human was in Sylacauga Ala.early 30s, passed thru roof striking victim on arm, Can't dredge up a name at the moment, may have been a woman(?). Giving rise to the 1934 song, The Stars Fell on Alabama.

Imagine something comes blistering in from space and hits you, but actually misses by a millimeter.

She would have been in pieces had it really caught her. It didn't even break the skin. Amazing Grace.

Kinda thinking had she been blown to bits all over the living room, it would of made for a better song.

I want to know what exactly she was doing when it came crashing in. My money is on eating/making something to eat.

The pic. was too big a clue. My recollection was she was at the kitchen table, but I don't recall it being mealtime,perhaps she was just downing a Dagwood.

No way it landed near her and caused no harm...have the seen the crater a coke can sized meteorite can make?

Ahh ok, I thought you guys were saying it struck the ground beside her and missed by millimetres.

The shockwave alone would've probably torn the skin off her arm.
No, I don't do think, that it sizzled past her. Also, I am pretty sure there is a wide range of speeds for these things, that depend on a lot of factors.

The one the para-jumper caught on film, was probably in free fall, and not even hot anymore. They don't all come in at solar orbit velocity. A right sized one at the right angle will plow through 1000s of miles of atmosphere until it slows and cools and drops like a rock.

The one that hit the guy's car, punched a hole but didn't even dint the pavement.

Well, let me clear it up for you pea brains.

My handle is potroast, and I've been using potroast as my sole handle since 1997 when I started helping growers on the original pot-growing forum on Usenet. When Rollitup started this forum, he recruited me to help others here, too. I have a profile called potroast here, and used it until 2011 when he made me the Forum Admin. Now I use this Rollitup profile.

I'm a Man, 6'2" and 225 pounds. Think NFL Linebacker. Yes, that is my actual picture, snapped with a webcam about 6 years ago, so my hair is longer now. I'm about to turn 62 years old, and I wear my hair like this because I like it. I don't care if you taunt me about it, I will just refer to you as a redneck idiot.

:mrgreen:
