No worries, it happens all the time.

Super-fast particels originating from planet Bogus a couple of hundreds of lightyears from earth collide with the earth's atmosphere all the time, releasing 10¹⁷ times the energy that will be produced at CERN. And because Bogus is located at a distinct direction to the earth it only happens at one side of our rotating planet. So what we see at night is really the sum of a fantastazillion tiny black holes...turning the sky black!

The university, town and neighboring community for miles was obliterated in a matter of seconds and a portal to anther dimension openned up

I think researchers should read more.
