    So why does it not cause any damage? Is it because it is so small it burns out in the earth's atmosphere?

    Also, is it possible that a meteorite could come and destroy everything?

    Finally, what reports and recordings on meteorites are available? Is there a common place on earth that they fall on?

    Have a lot of meteor ites always fallen on earth over the past 1000 years or has there been an increase in the last 150 years?
