So I'm watching the meteor shower. It's impressive I'm enjoying it, saw 25 plus meteors. If the official story is true, why do I see them coming from every different direction? Logically that makes no sense.

If you pour water onto a beach ball, the water runs down all sides. Our atmosphere is the beach ball and we can only see the affects of the meteors changing direction on impact, not them coming in from the same direction.
Wiki actually has listed 112 different meteor showers that the Earth plows through every year. Gotta be stressful in the space station or running satellites up there.

Maybe Earth will get lucky and take a direct hit...
They say a 2000 lb'er at that speed would wipe-out 1/2 too 2/3'erds of earth's living population...
Good times for sure

these meteor showers are not much more than dust, but there has been a few bus sized meteors that have passed between the moon and earth!

We had one crash about 7 miles south of my house a few years ago. I just pulled up in front of my house and the sky went from night time to day time and back. My first thought was my power transformer blew up. They found where it landed and recovered some shrapnel

A mysterious green comet is approaching Earth and could be visible to the naked eye soon. Here's how to see it.
Comet Nishimura is already visible with small telescopes. If it survives the sun, it will be visible to the naked eye in a few weeks.
