Large Meteor Explodes Over Atlantic

A large meteor exploded over the Atlantic on the 6th of Febuary, with the energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT.

It been exactly 3 years since the Chelyabinsk meteor , obviously just an amazing coincidence and absolutely nothing to worry about! In fact there was quite a few meteor explosions in 2013. There was this one :- Massive fireball in the sky over Spain There was also this one :- Huge fireball in sky over Britain And don't forget this one :- Fireball Across New Jersey And another :- Second fireball meteor seen over Scotland Obviously just a coincidence, but if not then are we likely to get loads more later on in the year as its looks possible that there are some very big rocks out there that are on a three year orbit around the Earth.

So to balance out this apparent strangeness, there must be several more objects that are heading towards the Earth, making this event just part of several events which are yet to occur.
