I don't think they would be visible because they would probably not be going 
fast enough.  Meteors glow mainly because of their velocity relative to the 
Earth, which is on the order of 20 miles per second.  A stone dropped from 
the edge of the atmosphere would not glow.

However I still think we are intended to believe that the inhumi do indeed 
fly between worlds.
