So what is your definition of 'truth' anyway?

The sky pytaet Egypt a fiery rain

The Arabian mass-media transfer, that the present fiery downpour has fallen upon a number of villages in southern Egyptian province Sohag - so has characterized the unusual phenomenon local population. However, behind the beautiful name serious accident which already has ruined some inhabitants of the country disappears.
Heated "drops" in huge quantity fall from the sky on roofs of buildings, setting fire to straw covering them and a reed. Constructions flash as a match, the flame has captured already more than 80 apartment houses. From an asthma and burns have suffered about 60 person, two small children were lost at least. In the Egyptian settlements where the fiery rain goes the third day, firemen constantly are on duty.
Police and forces of safety of the country conduct consequence. Authorities try to find out an origin so strange unknown hitherto a phenomenon. There are already some versions of an event. pogoreltsy are inclined to trust in overseas metamorphosises, they assert, that on their houses anything fell other, as fiery spheres.
Others try to explain tragedy household incidents: the some people speak, that when the temperature of air reaches +55°N, at pets and birds the wool and feathers starts to decay. The cat who has received a burn or the rabbit starts to rush in a panic on a court yard and climbs up a roof of houses that leads to to distribution of fire.
However scientists count, that speech, most likely, goes about a meteoric rain: pieces of breed flying from space light up in an atmosphere. However, the exact reason of mass fires till now and remains a riddle.
For the information: the Meteoric rain - the unique astronomical phenomenon. His kinds which can be observed at various times year and with different periodicity are known some.
For example, " a star downpour ", "Leonid" named astronomers, it is possible to see seldom enough - each 33 years when about the Earth comet Templa-Tattla flies by. "Leonids" are her chastichki which breaking away, generously shower our planet.
The name has received the phenomenon because there are meteorites from that part of a space where there is constellation Leo. Encyclopaedic editions assert, that the most ancient on supervision the meteoric stream has been marked by Chinese in 1768 B.C.
Time in 130 years the Earth passes through a dust tail of a comet of Swift - Tattla and then meteoric stream Perseid reaches the maximal activity, dumping on us thousand "tail" meteorites.
And in general, " falling stars " can be observed every year in second half of summer. Always was considered, that they do not represent for people of danger - chastichki reach our planet extremely seldom, and in history yet there was no case that the meteorite has done much harm to the person. To tell the truth, more than 50 years in the Great Britain the fragment of a meteorite has killed the cow.
