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?
