Mount Palomar, California (IP) - The Orionid meteor shower will be visible in the early morning hours of October the 21st after the moon sets.
Scientists at the Mount Palomar Astronomical campus report that meteors the size of train locomotives will fall from the sky. Dr. Povenmire Finootch urges viewers to step aside if a train size meteorite falls in their direction.
Some college students have turned meteor ducking into a sport and wait until the last moment to step out of the way when locomotive sized meteorites fall in their direction.
One meteorite filled a swimming pool at a Holiday Inn last year causing little harm to people sitting around the pool at outdoor dining tables. That event occurred in Denver, Colorado. The pool boy was asked to back up his pick up truck to the edge of the pool and yank the meteorite out of the pool using a winch.
The Denver meteorite was placed in the hotel's dumpster and was hauled away to the city dump.
