So here are my questions...is it because of more people reporting them?
That would be a logical explanation.
Tell me, have you personally seen a dramatic increase in meteors? I haven't.

Why would we think of meteorites like dry rain when they are nothing at all like "dry rain"?

Your not the only one, I saw some in Northern Utah, evening time, about 4 months ago, no one else saw them except me who always looks at the sky.
Same color, same shape and same reaction (mid-air extinguish).
But if that isn't enough, ever saw 2 red "stars" come close then get away far then dim out? About 3 months ago I saw that.
What ever is going on out there, it must be hell.
as soon as that fireball lit up, i had the worst feeling of dread and doom come over me, i remember catching myself saying "oh sh** " out loud inside my car, as people pointed towards the skies, very surreal it felt like a movie

I know one thing for certain. This is a statistical anomaly. Large meteors which are able to make it through the atmosphere and to the ground without burning up are quite rare. The one in Russia was one of the most powerful we've had in quite some time, and it sounds like the one described by the OP was quite large and powerful too. All these similar events packed together so tightly is certainly out of the norm. It could be a coincidence, but if we see any more like this I'll be fairly convinced we're entering an area of space which contains a large amount of debris.

can't, too many holes.
Dust can't act like a hailstone and fall like that, plus the size of the rock doesn't match up with your said theory.
any other idea?

i would say maybe 15-20 minutes ago at the street light of le jeune avenue and nw 7th st, 2 meteors almost caused a multiple vehicle car accident!..and i got front row seats to witness both of them!
i was the first in line at the red light on le jeune ave, and IMMEDIATELY something caught my eye in the sky..you couldn't miss it! it started as a "swipe" for lack of better word..of light, and then BAM! a giant fireball and then it just went black, just disappeared probably lasted 2 seconds, and them again a second "ignition" near the same area it started with a streak of light and then a literal FIREBALL, im talking about like if the light ignited or caught on fire, it was so immense! 2 cars that were turning almost crashed into each other, and several people got out of their cars and pointed at the direction of the 2 fireballs..
i have seen a couple of "shooting stars" before, usually just a "swipe" of light streaking across lasting mili seconds, but god no! not this! it was HUGE and i could see the fire my god we are so helpless and puny!
i thought the Russian video was CGI..or fake...haha wow im such an idiot, how could i be so naive and hard headed...
something is going on, did anyone in this area in florida just see this? about 15 minutes ago?..does anyone know what the hell is going on?
here is what i keep telling myself might be happening.
*our atmosphere has somehow been diminished and these rocks that used to burn out, are now piercing effortlessly into earth.
* i am open to this possibility, the whole "end times" thing, and "flaming rocks falling from the sky" bible verses symbolizing the end times are near? and the "fallen ones" are crashing into earth? a stretch i know but hey..
* alien crafts crash landing on earth
* planet earth entering a certain region in space where all these space rocks are more abundant?
these were no shooting stars, i feel humbled to have witnessed them, yet scared, god the way they just errupted into flames!..UNREAL
god help us
edit: this happened at le jeune ave and nw 7st miami fl at the street light of le jeune ave.
also i so sorry im on my way to pick up my wife from work i wont be able to respond until tomorrow morning, i just felt that this needed to be documented if not at least for the sheer coincidence and circumstances given the recent events of this weekedit on 17-2-2013 by ooYODAoo because: (no reason given)
