When a meteorite enters the Earths atmosphere the air that it is passing through is very thin and it cuts right through it. However the lower atmosphere has much greater density. The meteorite is moving at 11-72 Kps and when it hits the lower atmosphere it's like hitting concrete. Depending on its size, composition, speed and angle of approach mid air explosion of a meteorite can be considered a very common occurrence.

if the population is a problem in America, I'd say that the beaners are the one who should be eliminated, coz they are the one who got a lot of kids and don't have green cards that's why there's a lot of mouth to feed, instead of worrying only citizens and immigrants, they make it harder for the country.

Statistics is merely an average. 50 percent chance to flip a coin and get heads or tails, but you could get 10 heads in a row. There's also a lot of stuff in the sky that we can't see; additionally a lot of stuff happens out there that we're not aware of. We're still learning a lot. Perhaps the December meteors can be explained by the Geminid meteor shower. Can you point me to a source that says we should only have a few "fireballs" per year? I know they're rarer, but a source is nice.

Meteors do explode. A simple search on the internet will tell you that. Also, most meteors are traveling on the order of tens of thousands of miles per hour, so I doubt we intercepted it.

As Skytroop said, meteors explode in the sky all the time. Not all meteors burn up or simply smash into the ground. Meteors are made up of different materials; some are very dense and some are very brittle. So break apart in the sky, such as the Tunguska event (which was actually probably a comet, but meteors do explode). When you see a shooting star peak in brightness in the sky - that is what you'd consider an explosion. They heat up, break apart into a wider stream, and burn up.
