Johnie,
Who exactly are you speaking to? No one here is accusing anyone of being
wrong or lying.

A point meteor is quite simple. It is a meteor that displays absolutely
no motion. All of the motion is directly toward the observer and it
simply appears as a brightening star that fades just as quickly as it
appears.
I hope this helps.
