LATEST EXPLODING METEOR OVER TUCSON, ARIZONA, A PREVIEW OF MORE TO COME
Saturday, December 28, 2013 2:57
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Residents of Tucson, Arizona got an early preview of the Germinid meteor shower 12/11/2013 when a shock wave, created by a meteor rattled windows and frightened residents with the resulting sonic boom.
Most do not realize since comet ISON atomized during its closest pass around the sun the resulting debris will follow the same path as the comet would have. What this means is earth will begin to experience spectacular meteor showers beginning around the last two weeks of December 2013 and should last into the 3rd week of January of 2014.
Along with the substantial increase in shooting stars, there will also be quite a few fireballs as well. Some of these larger pieces of ISON very well could make it to the ground.
Over the next several weeks earth could experience many impacts such as the Russian meteor of February 2013 where over 1500 people were injured as an indirect result of the meteor.
The next several weeks will be very interesting and perhaps to a certain extent, dangerous.

OK, first off, we have a Geminid fireball that is seen on Dec 11, 2013 when Comet ISON was nearly 56 million miles away from us. Notice how the article tries to relate the concept of a meteor strike with ISON, because they go right into describing ISON in the next paragraph:
“Most do not realize since comet ISON atomized during its closest pass around the sun the resulting debris will follow the same path as the comet would have. What this means is earth will begin to experience spectacular meteor showers beginning around the last two weeks of December 2013 and should last into the 3rd week of January of 2014.”
Ok, ISON is atomized and it’s on the same path. Correct so far. Now catch how the next sentence is completely wrong when it says, “What this means is earth will…,” be what? How does the Earth tie in? Well, it doesn’t. If the debris is following the path of the old orbit and that orbit takes it 40 million miles away from the Earth and rotated 90 degrees to its path in space, then it has no effect on the Earth whatsoever.
See how this is done? Omit the key fact of the distance and location differences of the orbits of ISON and the Earth and you get to insinuate that the main debris of ISON is gonna smack us. lol
We might see a couple specs of dust in mid-January from ISON’s incoming path before it broke up, but the experts say it will be nearly insignificant and most people will not even notice it. Anything beyond this is either very low probability, hype or outright fraud and lies.
We’ve been having an increase in fireballs/bolides. The rate has been in a steady, sharp rise for a few years now. So, what is causing the increase then, if not ISON? Now that is the right question to ask and a very good one, too.
