Fire in the Sky

Instances of comets, asteroids, and meteors flying by Earth, many visible to the naked eye, have increased markedly, perhaps exponentially, in the past decade. This is an interesting page: http://www.sott.net/signs/list_by_category/17-Fire-in-the-Sky

A few days ago, this comet or asteroid was seen by many in the LA area. I saw one very similar in LA last November.
