RE: (meteorobs) Re; Meteor shower/meteorite shower.
Actually, they are not travelling in swarms is space, at least I know of no
verified cases. A meteorite shower (if such a term really exists) produced
when a meteoroid (bolide) shatters or explodes in the atmosphere and
creates a "strewn field" of the resultant pieces. I recall it being used in
"Rocks from Space", O Richard Norton, but could not find it in the
glossary, and don't really have time to reread the book again. Does anyone
know if it a true technical term?

What the heck I'll throw in two my near worthless two cents worth. It would
seem that in this
important :-) discussion that meteorites travel in swarms beyond the
earth's atmosphere. Therefore,
one would talk about meteorite swarms. However, once entered the atmosphere
they become a meteor
shower. Anyone for a herd, colony, ...?
