Stargazers should stay inside on the evening of May 1st if they want to keep their eyes and equipment safe. Although the most recent shower, Lyrid, hit its peak before dawn on Sunday, several bodies have fallen into orbit and begun to land on earth since. The frequency of meteorites landing in the continental United States has been puzzling to area scientists.

“Usually, we can predict impact events years in advance.” Says Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. No further comments from other individuals or NASA have been provided, but a list of potential sites provided by Cooke’s office will be listed below.

A theory for why this is occurring with limited scientific notice was presented in an anonymous reddit thread. “It is not like they’re just appearing from nothing. There is such thing as the Smith Cloud that could have been obstructing our view.”

The Smith Cloud has been on science's radar since it was discovered in 1963, but its origins and chemical makeup were a mystery for a long time. It is a huge cloud of gas which is approaching the edges of the Milky Way at a speed of around 193 miles per second. Some thought that the cloud could be a starless galaxy or just a giant body of gas, falling in to the Milky Way from intergalactic space.

List of Impact Areas for the night of May 1st:
Cleavesville, Washington
Rock Cabin, Wyoming
El Dorado Hills, California
Ashland, Delaware
Shraderville, Kentucky
Onaway, South Dakota
Timbercrest, Utah
North Salem, Maryland
South Albany, Kentucky
Wicomico Church, Ohio
Kandiyohi, New Mexico
Portal, Connecticut
Third Cliff, South Carolina
Newburg, Ohio
Moorehead Place, North Dakota

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
