it is time elapsed photography, lol, but seriously, who would want to stand there, while even 1 metorite is hitting your village or town? [/QUOTE]I would! I'm a rebel like that! Yeah...ooohh...ahhh...

i might be stupid but what is the red glow? dawn or dusk or something, although the website says the photo was taken a 3 pm

[/QUOTE]Well, usually you don't stand there, you just set up your camera on a tripod and leave it. And as far as the falling, they probably weren't falling anywhere, more than likely that's a picture of one of the meteor showers we've been seeing in the night sky lately. You can see them like that where I am, but none hit earth anywhere near us.
Anyway, it's a really cool pic, thanks for sharing that with us, Stormy [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Well, even if those pebbles hit India, they probably wouldn't even notice. And if those are life-sized, then they're also 10 lightyears away from here...

Flaming falling meteorite causes panic

September 30 2003 at 06:23AM

Bhubaneswar, India - Geologists travelled on Monday to India's eastern coast to hunt for the debris of a meteorite that crashed to Earth, injuring 11 people and leading to an elderly man's death, officials said.

A team arrived in Mayurbhanj village in the state of Orissa to examine a 6kg "stone-like object" recovered in a rice paddy field, a scientist from Geological Survey said.

The massive ball of fire panicked hundreds in Orissa, home to India's main missile testing range.

The debris fell on two houses in Mayurbhanj, slightly injuring three people, said a district official.

Sukdev Singh, a 70-year-old man panicked by the meteorite, died in hospital on Sunday from a heart attack. Eight others also received treatment for temporary blindness or for losing consciousness after seeing the spectacle.
