I saw the strangest thing last night...a meteorite that took a sharp 70 degree turn?!   Is this even possible?  I also saw a cluster of meteorites falling together in a bunch.  Super cool.

wow...you're making me wish I'd braved the mosquitoes!  Maybe the 70-degree turn was 2 meteors appearing at once?  Or maybe these were just larger meteors breaking into smaller chunks?
