Earthling assaulted by meteorite...

in Germany. The 14-year old boy was struck in the hand by a pea-sized meteorite and it "scared the bejeezus out of him." I bet! Link to more complete news article.

Someone call a lawyer.

  1. The article claims that it hit him while traveling at a speed of 30,000 mph??? And it only scarred his hand, not went entirely through it? Who measures these things anyway? How come the article didn't show the crater in the road that it claimed resulted? Or his injury? And why is this kid still smiling??? I'm a bit skeptical...

  2. Yes, I agree, all good points. The story doesn't exactly pass the smell test though I am reluctant to call it a hoax.
