All Hell breaks loose from the Heavens

“‘I thought some wise guy was shining a spotlight at me,’ says Josh Bowers of New Germany, Pennsylvania. ‘Then I realized what it was: a fireball in the southern sky. I was doing some backyard astronomy around 9 p.m. on Halloween, and this meteor was so bright it made me lose my night vision.'” – NASA.gov

“Every year in late October and early November, …Earth passes through a river of space dust… Tiny grains (meteors) hit our atmosphere at 65,000 mph. Because these meteors shoot out of the constellation Taurus, they’re called Taurids.

Most years the shower is weak, producing no more than five rather dim meteors every hour. But occasionally, the Taurids put on quite a show. Fireballs streak across the sky, ruining night vision and interrupting fishing trips.”
