a meteor shower.
Maybe the report of a meteor airburst event just before the falls of red rain is not purely coincidental.
If the button isn't pressed within ten seconds of noon, the meteor will not be destroyed, and the many will die.
A single observer would find it impossible to distinguish the meteor as being far from the realm of the stars.
Since comet orbits intersect the earth's orbit in welldefined regions, modern scientists can predict the days on which we can expect to see meteor showers.
This prediction success continued in the following years and included outbursts in other meteor streams.
However, doubts have been expressed about whether reports of a meteor were merely a coincidence.
In other words, red rain was seen on the same day as a meteor.
And this was the rule for hundreds of meteors who did not leave any signs of their passage.
