How do flat earthers explain meteors?

Nope. Do some research. With atmosphere, line of sight, refraction, the capabilities of the human eye and range of sight equipment, hills land etc. On the flat ocean or lake I have documented, verified visual proof that there is NO CURVATURE. You will ignore it because that's not what you're looking for. All Nasa or Hubble needs to do is take a REAL picture of the "globe" earth. You don't find it curious that we don't have an unedited picture or image that show us where we live? With all of our expertise and technology?

Looks pretty globular to me.

They're "falling stars" - everyone knows that. They occasionally get dislodged from the dome of heaven.

Meteorites are the angels throwing rocks at us. Sometimes big ones.

I've never yet seen a meteor - and I'm old. Too nearsighted in my youth and too citified in my middle-age. One night, though...when the weather is clear and the Perseids are active, I'll stay up and see.
You don't even need to wait that long. Go out to the country side and camp out under stars and on any given clear night if you're patient and look long enough, you should see at least one or two, maybe more. Even light pollution isn't always a limiting factor. I've seen one in the sky here over LA once when I just happened to be looking in the right direction at the right time.

Is it possible they are just pulling our legs? I've posed as a flat-earther once myself.
I'd say at least half are just trolling. I don't know what to say about the other half.

It's silly enough that it's hard to resist the urge to say something like, "The earth sure looks flat from where I live."

Jup, just like Copernicus, Newton, Neil Degrasse,...
Ha! NdGT wishes he was included among the ranks of Copernicus, Newton and Galileo. He's a celebrity scientist. At the same time there are literally thousands upon thousands of non-celebrity professional and amateur astronomers doing much of the same work he does but without being a part of your NWO flat earth conspiracy.

If there's no such thing as outer space and there's just a solid dome above the earth, where do all of these rocks come from?

You can't say they're all photoshopped trickery as you can see them for yourself if you just go outside during a meteor shower.

Meteors are actually flat too. The stars (which are actually angels) are playing with Pogs, (It's still the 90's up in heaven).

Why do people even engage flat earthers?
If you are going to marry one, it's the conventional thing to do. The main drawback is that you cannot go round the world on your honeymoon.
