Meteors do NOT “re-enter” the Earth’s atmosphere. Meteors ENTER, once. Usually, unless they skip over the top several times and slow down, but they only, generally, enter ONCE.

When they arrive on the ground (if they don’t burn up completely) they become “meteorites”.

Meteors that strike the atmosphere almost ALWAYS burn up, leaving an ionized trail of gases behind them. These trails are almost ALWAYS visible, and in some cases can reflect radio signals in the 50-70 Mhz range (in ham radio, we do something called “meteor scatter” bouncing signals off those trails).

Just thought I’d throw in some facts to that “Skeptics say” stuff.
