An Act Of God?

There have been many reported incidents of objects falling from the sky with some objects
causing substantial damage to cars building and in some case even people. My interest was
My first thoughts were that the falling objects were small meteorites. There have been a few documented cases of meteorites crashing through houses causing minor damage.
Overall these incidents occurred over many years and there were only a few cases reported of
meteorites actually striking buildings. I guess the insurance company would call it an act of god.
Over the past 6 years the incidents of objects falling from the sky has increased dramatically each year.
Damage to roof of the house caused by the falling ice
What ever caused the damage to buildings could not be fully attributed to falling meteorites alone,there has to be another causal link.
Some suggestion was that these objects were caused by rouge comets and that fragments of ice could account for the damages.
This theory cannot be fully supported because most of the ice would have evaporated during re-enter into Earth’s atmosphere.
Even if the ice formation was the size of a small house the extreme temperatures caused by the atmospheric friction would have melted most of the ice leaving only .05 of a percent to reach the Earth’s surface too small to cause any significant damage.
Other suggested that the object falling from the sky were caused by aircraft, perhaps the ice was shed from the aircraft after de-icing during the flight. This was also discounted as being the cause.
There reason is that aircraft have special de-icing procedures whereby the ice is dislodged into tiny fragments of snow too small to be able to cause this type of damage.
Meteorologists suggest that these objects are actually formed from ice crystals and that these objects have a similar make up to hailstones.
The theory is that this phenomenon is a product of global warming, well you can blame most things on global warming but the solution is not that simple.
The causal theory is that a vast amount of water vapour reaches the very edge of space. Ordinarily water vapour does not reach beyond the Earth’s stratosphere, some 50 km above the Earth.
There is a high probability that water vapour trapped so high in the Earth’s atmosphere can form ice objects that can grow to the size of a basketball and reach a terminal velocity of around 150KMH.
Objects of this size and speed can cause extreme damage on us living here below.
There have been many reports of object fitting this description hitting houses throughout the US.
A number of similar occurrences have been found in other countries including India. The frightening part is that these objects are like ice bombs and can fall from the sky at any time even in clear sunny weather.
All of a sudden space junk falling on Earth does not seem so bad!
Every 24 hours around 150 tons of debris falls to Earth.
The real cause or reason for these objects falling is yet undetermined. It is possible to learn the real cause of megacryometeors and the reasons for the apparent multiplication with further research.

Hi S.L.
Perhaps a few ice bombs should fall on our politicians it may knock some sense into them.
