Eyewitnesses said the sky lit up like day after an explosion and objects which looked like fire balls fell into the sea, according to state-run ANA-MPA news agency.
"Meteor strikes are common in Greece, it is not threatening," geology Professor Efthimyos Lekkas told an AA correspondent.
The meteor didn't cause any damage but people panicked around the region.
From Youtube:
...is very significant but why is not known. Currently there is no sign of the increase, which seems to be about a factor of ten in a decade, levelling off. The increase seems to be common to all sizes so we are getting many more bigger meteors hitting the Earth. This suggests that the risk of a dangerously large meteor hitting has increased in proportion.
Interestingly over a similar timeframe the number of volcanic erruptions has gone up by a similar factor. I cannot think of a causal link.
If anything I would put the meteor increase down to the solar system passing through a could of debris or the Oort cloud being perturbed by a large body. The vulcansim does seem to be linked to "solar/space weather" but I haven't looked into this.
If the end to these exponential rises does not come soon the planet is going to become a scary dangerous place.
