[meteorite-list] Space Debris map

[Chris Peterson]

It's a consideration, but space debris is readily distinguishable from 
natural meteors given good witness reports, and I'd consider it a bit 
foolish to be hopping on any planes without good witness reports or 
other data.

Even so, the ratio of space debris to natural meteors is very small, so 
it doesn't need to be a major concern.
