You were saying ...

But they seem like alot are raining down..

There are a lot that are raining down on us. We're getting absolutely "rained on" every day, every hour and every second... all year long, year-after-year... with no let-up...

Sometimes people see them, and sometimes they don't. We have a lot more observers these days (more people on earth) and better communications and more people to take pictures of things like this... :-)

Even the pictures taken from the Space Shuttle has shown us things that we didn't know were there, before, until we got up there and were able to observe them.
