As Victor Clube, Bill Napier, John Lewis and others point out, these kinds of fireballs usually cannot be seen before they enter the atmosphere. Special equipment is necessary. That equipment is not a high priority, but armaments and killing machines are. What an irony. The pathologicals who spend all their time, effort and money on more and better ways to kill other human beings, while ignoring the threat from space, will probably die themselves in a cometary bombardment.
