Do superstitious beliefs about meteors have scientific basis?

You are confusing a couple of concepts. NO superstitious belief has a scientific basis. If a belief is scientifically based, there is no need to call it a superstition. If a belief is superstitious it is by definition not verifiable scientifically. However, there are superstitions that result from some real events. Total eclipses of the sun are real, and they are explainable in completely natural terms. However, people at different times in history have superstitious beliefs about what is happening during an eclipse, and superstitious beliefs that performing certain rituals or prayers during an eclipse will save the world from doom. So, a superstition is an irrational belief usually connected to some magical ritual that will ward off disaster, and some superstitions have to do with real events in the world. But the superstitions themselves are not based in or verified by the real world.
