Some years ago there was an atmospheric scientist who was
puzzled by photographic evidence via weather satellites of huge
objects impacting the upper atmosphere at the poles that seemed
to dissipate rather than having fiery re-entries. He deduced
that these were hundreds or thousands of house sized chunks of
ice that didn't survive the journey downward intact-each day. He
was pooh pawed by the mainstream.

Some of you might recall this from about 5-7 years ago. Maybe he
was right and the chunks of ice we are hearing about now are
from some of these larger chunks that didn't completely melt.
