Those guys are going to get in trouble for breaking this story. I'm sure

> meteors. Training occurs because the objects
> travelling along the same path share the exact point
> of origin.

> No one was hurt when the new meteorite hit. A nearby
> taco vending stand sustained minor damage. The old
> meteorite was pushed further into its crater by the
> new meteorite.
