Thanks for the reply Doreen eruptions and earthquakes will continue to increase from the weaker magnetosphere and more cosmic energy hitting the earth’s surface.

Above mine too. They are supposedly designed to “burn up in the atmosphere” and every one will eventually fall so not every “ fire ball” we see will be “extraterrestrial.” Even the space station is expected to come down unless salvaged in situ by SpaceX et al. 🤓
