This is a depiction of what might transpire if humanoid aliens arrived to Earth as refugees, and were accepted into our midst. In this case, they're basically just very ugly humans, but extra smart - the locals complain that the aliens are getting A's in school (like Asians) and getting promotions at work.
If this show were produced today, they would focus a lot on the discrimination and "illegal alien" concepts. Well, Supergirl TV show does focus on that quite a bit. It got so politically correct I couldn't watch it any more.
In real life, probably an alien race would not be like us at all. They'd be huge blobs of grey ooze, perhaps with a few tentacles sticking out here and there. Or they'd be intelligent rocks that slowly think one thought every 100 years. Or insectoids, tiny in size, with a hive-mind that would be very smart and vicious.
I think overall, we probably are not going to ever meet any aliens, but if we do, we'll probably be sorry. There's a reason the star systems are so far apart.
There are about 112 established meteor showers, but not all of them are dazzling displays for various reasons, including brightness ( not all are so bright). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_meteor_showers
You're right, bigger meteors are not as frequently viewed as smaller ones. But that's because they don't come in as often. Sometimes they do though. Observations have captured by camera views. If you recall the meteor that passed over Russia, not so long ago, was captured by numerous cameras in cars and CCTV cameras in and around various buildings. That one was a 66-foot asteroid that exploded with enough force to cause both damage to buildings and injuries to people from the shock wave concussion. The injuries were mostly from flying debris. Most of the meteors that enter the atmosphere tend to break up (fragment) into smaller pieces if their composition is stony. Metallic meteors chiefly composed of iron or nickle-iron remain fairly intact. However, the more common ones that make it to the ground are usually the size of small stones right down to sand sized particles. Also, some even briefly pass through the atmosphere at an angle from one side and exits back into space from another. It's often referred to as "skipping" through the atmosphere. Interestingly, some studies have been done on flat rooftops, looking at the dust that collects there. Tiny, dust-sized particles (micro-meteorites) have been found that have come from space. There's a lot of stuff soaring around the solar system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor https://www.sciencefriday.com/articl...rban-stardust/
Do you remember a program on Science Channel called "Meteorite Men"? I thoroughly enjoyed the program. It was a so-called "reality program", but they found some really nice meteorites on their ventures. I think it was taken off the air because of bit of a falling out between the two stars of the program.

Yes, I remember that program and saw it a few times. Most of it was scripted, or as you said a "reality program", kind of like most of the ghost hunting programs. But they did give a little bit of an understanding about what's involved in hunting for meteorites. What they didn't show is how many searches fail to produce nothing or very little, and not all of their finds are big money treasures. I have no idea about any falling out between the guys. I never kept up with them.
At the University of Oregon, there's a replica of a monster meteorite called the Willamette Meteorite on display, and another not far from where it was originally located. There's suppose to be another giant located around Gold Beach Oregon, but so far no one has found it. It might be covered in a large area overgrown with blackberry vines. It could be larger than the Willamette Meteorite. Stuff like those are real treasures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willamette_Meteorite

i agree, I think we will find they are cold, uncaring and unsympathetic, if they are so much more advanced than we are, we will be nothing more than rodents to them and they would treat us accordingly.
I dont buy the encounters where people claim they are trying to help mankind reach some kind of enlightenment, or giving us technology, etc, we would be scum on the bottom of their boots, I dont think they would have any sympathy for man.

Is the Willamette meteorite the one on display at the Smithsonial Natural History Museum in Washington, DC?

I'm not sure if the Smithsonian ever had anything to do with the Willamette meteorite. The American Museum of Natural History in New York does though. It was long known by the Clackamas people and other Native American tribes as a spiritual relic. The Wiki article describes what happened to it starting in the early 1900s. The Smithsonian Museum has what's called the Goose Lake meteorite which was found in California and weighs a little over a ton. The Willamette meteorite weighs about 16 tons.
