Twitter is kick the bucket mad with talk of ameteoritepossibly get today ’s fervor in San Francisco ’s Western Addition . It ’s all free-base on ablurry ( they ’re always burry ) photograph . Guess , what , that did n’t go on .
I made a warm call to NASA to see if they had heard anything . After being puzzled as to why I was calling , they give down a few fact . First off , meteorite are n’t giant flaming rocks fall from the sky . They ’re usually just rock and water ice . If a meteorite had hit San Francisco , there would be hole in the top of the home it hit and a crater in the ground .
Secondly , the Earth gets arrive at by about one to two baseball game sized meteorites a year . One to two . That ’s it . Most of the particles that hit the Earth are about the size of a grain of grit .
in conclusion , look at the picture . I have in mind really . They might as well have put a UFO and Bigfoot in that thing . And should n’t there be a rock at the end of that streak ? Plus , with the amount of mass constantly snapping photo in San Francisco ( it ’s a prissy place ! ) , we ’d have far more photos of it . Just to show how easy it is to add streak to the sky that wait like fall objective , we present the photo below . Anyone with Photoshop and five instant can do this . I think someone got punked .
