Shooting stars can be produced by particles as small as a grain of sand! This being said, there are millions of shooting stars everyday. They happen during daytime hours and nighttime hours alike. When you look up at the sky though, you can only see about .005 percent of the total area of the sky. Even with this limited viewing range, on a typical night expect to see a shooting star every ten minutes to fifteen minutes.

A good friend of mine predicted that we would "see a shooting star" within the next five minutes... Well, we did.

We saw that shooting star. All of us did.
Now he's predicting the end of society. Not the world, but of conventional society.
Who wants to join me? Helter skelter, let's all get drunk.

I've found that such predictions come true on the micro-scale, not the macro-scale. Your friend may have forseen his own enlightenment coming up, and when that happens, society, for that person, does indeed end, in a manner of speaking, because enlightenened people are indeed freed from the mechanisms of conventional society.
