Say What??????????

FIREBALLS STREAKING ACROSS WESTERN SKIESFebruary 17, 1998ÿAt least five incidents of fireballs streaking across the skies in Denver last month have kept the telephone lines abuzz at the Denver Museum of Natural History as reports of new sightings continue. The Associate Press reported that Los Alamos Natonal Laboratory scientist Dough Revelle said, "These little things are the little brothers and sisters of the bigger ones. The reason for the interest is eventually a big one is going to hit, a real big one. And the question is: Can we protect ourselves?" He went on to say that if a large meteor hit Earth "life as we know it would be very different...In order to defend the Earth from a large meteor, we would need to know about it while it was months away to deflect it. If we know about it when it was week away, it would be too late."

Scientists cannot account for the increased meteorite activity.
