1976 in the northern suburb of Jilin city, China, why does a big red fireball fall from the sky during the day and then disperse like a rainstorm?

Meteorite shower, Jilin Province is a rare astronomical event that occurred in the northern suburb of Jilin City, China on the afternoon of March 8, 1976. According to eyewitnesses, with the deafening roar, a red fireball fell from the sky during the day, and then exploded in the air, splitting into many large and small meteorite fragments and scattering all over the floor like a rainstorm.

In this incident, the total weight of meteorites collected exceeded 2 tons, with more than 3,000 pieces. The largest meteorite, Jilin 1 meteorite, weighing 1770 kg, is the heaviest stone meteorite known in the world, and is now on display in Jilin Museum.

The next morning, people went out and found a large number of dead crows and pigeons lying on the streets of the whole downtown area. In the next two days, people witnessed intermittent "bird rain". The authorities speculated that the birds died of poisoning. Later, researchers at the California Institute of Technology conducted an investigation and found that these birds did eat grain contaminated by toxins. When they passed through the area, they died of poisoning and fell from the sky. According to statistics, 400-600 birds died in this incident.

On September 1969 and 1 Sunday, the headline of St. Petersburg Times was "Dozens of golf balls fell from the sky". The incident took place in Pantagol, Florida, USA, located in the west of the Gulf Coast. After a seemingly ordinary rainstorm, white golf balls were everywhere in the local drains, lawns and streets. Bad weather often occurs here, and waterspouts have become commonplace. Scientists pointed out that this is the key factor of the "Golf Rain" incident. As for why it is golf, many golf courses in this area have provided a reasonable explanation-the tornado rolled up the balls accumulated in the golf course pond for many years and "sent" them here.
