Here is this meteor, which survived some sort of collision in space as meteors are NOT round as though formed from molten matter but are irregularly shaped, yet it can't stand passing through something like air. Next you have it breaking apart in an instant into such tiny pieces that they combust in a flash. In the first place, there wouldn't be sufficient OXYGEN for such a complete combustion in one place! Items falling from space that can combust burn steadily as they fall, and if the combustion process is not complete before they land, they are INCOMPLETELY BURNED. Is it so very frightening to contemplate a pole shift that you must continue to stick your head in the sand?
