Should we be concerned about the large fireballs that have been flying through our skies in recent weeks? I have been writing so much about the war in the Middle East that I haven’t given this fireball swarm the attention that it deserves. Over and over again, people have been capturing footage of meteors streaking across our atmosphere. NASA is insisting that we have absolutely nothing to be alarmed about, but other experts are not so sure.
Whenever we see unusual events in the heavens, people are going to start asking questions. According to the Daily Mail, the unprecedented fireball swarm that we witnessed during the month of March has been “sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs”…
Earth has seen a mysterious surge in massive fireballs lighting up the sky, sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs.
The American Meteor Society (AMS), a nonprofit group that has been tracking meteor sightings for over a century, revealed that there have been more reports of fireballs in the first three months of 2026 than in the first quarter of any year dating back to 2011.
Nobody denies that people are reporting meteors more frequently than we have ever seen before.
And on Saturday night there was another major incident in the skies above Washington, Oregon and British Columbia…
Over 100 people in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia have reported seeing a “bright fireball” on Saturday night, according to NASA and the American Meteor Society.
The sighting makes it the third sighting in Washington in March.
According to NASA, analysis of these reports and videos suggest the fireball became visible around 50 miles above the town of Wilkeson before disintegrating 30 miles above Wauna in Pierce County around 8:34 p.m.
One large fireball would not be a big deal at all.
But there have been so many over the past month.
For example, hundreds of people witnessed a green fireball flying over California on March 22nd, and on March 23rd a different green fireball was spotted flying over southern Oregon…
On March 22, hundreds of people saw a green meteor flash across the night sky above central California around 8:19 p.m., according to NASA. Early the next morning, around 6:07 a.m., residents in the Pacific Northwest witnessed another one flying above southern Oregon, per the agency.
“It was bright, it was green, it was spectacular,” says Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, to the Associated Press’ Claire Rush, describing the second event. “One tiny little piece of rock put on such a show.”
Scientists believe that these particular fireballs were green because they contained either magnesium or nickel…
The meteors above California and Oregon were likely green because of certain elements within them, reports the AP. When heated, magnesium produces blue-green light, and nickel can also emit green. Eyewitnesses of the California fireball noted that it changed colors—looking blue, green, red and orange—as it moved through the sky, per the San Luis Obispo Tribune’s Kaytlyn Leslie.
The day before the green fireball above California was spotted, a fragment of a meteor slammed into a home in Houston, Texas, and a few days before that a 7 ton space rock that flew over Ohio and Pennsylvania created a tremendous amount of buzz…
On March 17, a daytime event over Ohio and Pennsylvania involved an object estimated at about 2 m (6.5 feet) in diameter and about 7 tons in mass, with an energy release of roughly 250 tons of TNT. Meteorites recovered from that event were identified as eucrites.
On March 21, a meteoroid of about 1 ton broke apart over the Houston metropolitan area, producing an airburst of about 26 tons of TNT, sonic booms, and at least one meteorite fragment that penetrated the roof of a home in Ponderosa Forest.
I can’t remember a time when meteors have made so much news.
According to Mike Hankey of the American Meteor Society, we really did witness an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs” during the month of March…
There were about 2,046 individual reported meteor events; 38 events that involved 50 or more reports and 14 events that involved 100 or more reports, according to the AMS.
Most of the elevated activity so far in 2026 took place in March 2026, according to Hankey. In his report, he referred to the month’s sightings as an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs.”
“It’s been really very flat and consistent for over five years,” Hankey said. “Then all of a sudden, we get this rush of reports this month, in March — didn’t start in February or really January, even.”
If January and February were so normal, what caused the sudden spike in March?
The AMS is admitting that this “warrants serious investigation”, and it is also telling us that the meteors appear to be coming from “the direction opposite the Sun”…
The American Meteor Society (AMS) reports an apparent surge in large fireball events in the first quarter of 2026, saying an analysis of its records back to 2011 reveals a pattern that “warrants serious investigation.”
“The enhanced activity is coming from a specific part of the sky—the direction opposite the Sun—at roughly double the normal density,” Mike Hankey, who wrote the analysis, told Newsweek.
But despite everything that has been happening, NASA says that we don’t have anything to worry about.
NASA is telling us that the only reason we are seeing more meteors right now is because we are in peak fireball season…
While it may seem like meteor reports and sightings have been more frequent recently, it is not out of the ordinary. In the northern hemisphere, we’re in peak “fireball season.” From February through April, the appearance rate of these very bright meteors can increase by as much as 10% to 30%, especially around the weeks of the March equinox. Exactly why is not known. Some astronomers think the Earth passes through more large debris at this time of year, causing an uptick in fireball sightings.
Another likely reason it may feel like meteor sightings are increasing is that more of us have cameras at the ready — from smartphones to doorbell cameras to dashboard cameras — making it easier than ever to capture and share these fleeting cosmic events when they happen.
Hopefully NASA is right.
Of course NASA doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record of being honest with us.
I tend to agree with the American Meteor Society.
We really should be getting to the bottom of this.
Geophysicist Stefan Burns is actually suggesting that there is “a serious risk of a large impact event occurring”…
Hopefully there will not be a “large impact event” any time soon.
But it is just a matter of time before a giant space rock with our name on it comes heading our way.
In my latest book I discussed the fact that the entire Alpha Centauri system is racing toward our solar system at a speed of approximately 79,000 miles an hour.
As the Alpha Centauri system gets closer, it is inevitable that we will begin to encounter more interstellar objects.
Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS were just the beginning. Huge interstellar objects will enter our solar system more frequently over time, and one of these days one of them might just hit us.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
