Several netizens from Hebei and Beijing said that two bright lights flashed across the sky early on the morning of the 27th. They were fleeting, but they could light up the courtyard in an instant. In addition, Tongliao netizens also said that they had seen this phenomenon.
According to the surveillance video posted by netizens in Hebei, at around 0:10 on March 27, two flashes suddenly appeared, and the light source was obviously from above, and one of the bright lights was blue. In addition, a Beijing netizen's driving recorder recorded an image of a suspected meteorite. In the image, a ball of blue light slid along the "tail flame" and disappeared from the image after blinking twice. Many netizens speculated that it was a fireball.
A netizen in Chengde County, Hebei told reporters that the flash of light lit up the sky as if it were daylight and the area was very large.
Li Liang, a popular science expert at the Beijing Planetarium, said judging from the video and photos, it was more likely a fireball. Meteors emit light when they brush the atmosphere during their high-speed fall, and the color of the light is affected by the materials contained in the meteorite itself and the composition of the atmosphere. "Under normal circumstances, meteors disappear quickly. This time, the phenomenon lasted longer and was very bright, which is relatively rare," Li Liang said.

I think it's been several years since they have posted an article about the increase in meteor showers/counts. If I remember correctly, the trend is increasing almost exponentially.
I have no idea what else is coming, but I do know from my own experience that I've definitely seen more in the last 10 years than the 30 before that.
Did you know that there are 4 fault lines just off shore in lake Ontario?
Yes, for sure earth changes, which remind me of the Days of Noah story/saga.
I have a copy of that map if it is. See if I can find a link to it (not promising though)
Oh… and it’s odd to me that the vast majority of these “meteorites” keep coming in over the northern hemisphere and not evenly dispersed over both hemispheres, Earth does spin after all.
If the sky is clear enough times during any given month, I usually see these lights, dusk, late at night, etc.
Anyone else see these. they sometimes do loop de loops as they track along. They do not move like a satellite and are usually brighter. A little dimmer than Sirius.
Have you also seen the ones that start to light up out of the darkness (you couldn't see at first), then literally stops and flashes like the old style flash bulbs on cameras, and starts moving forward again and slowly dims out? I've only seen these ones in the last 7 years, never before that.
Last summer I attracted the attention of a red orb with a bonfire, burning brush. For 40 mins, every time I threw more branches with leaves on the fire, this red orb would zip out of the darkness directly above us, circle around then zip off. Each time from a different direction. Originally this red orb was tracking straight across the sky.
How about this one (I like the visual and mathematic geometry): [Link]
