This has been a fun post. Kind of reminds me of the meteor limericks
from last summer. Here's a crack at a few (not sure if some of these
are dupes),

MeteorFlight - the path of a meteor as it falls to earth
MeteorHype - what the media does after a public meteor fall
MeteorWiz - Rob Matson
Meteoriteosis - An obsessive psychological disorder for which there is no cure.
MeteorLight - Light put off from a fireball that in some cases can
cast shadows; or what someone sees when they catch meteoriteosis

Thanks,

Mike
