In October of last year a meteor crashed through a roof and landed right on a pillow beside a sleeping woman in British Columbia, and she lived to tell her story.
The woman told Canada’s CBC News, “The next thing was just a huge explosion and debris all over my face. I jumped out of bed and turned on the lights. I didn’t know what else to do, so I called 911.”
A chunk of rock about the size of a melon had plummeted from space. It tore through the woman’s roof before coming to rest inches from her head. She said, “I was shaking like a leaf. You’re sound asleep, safe, you think, in your bed, and you can get taken out by a meteorite, apparently.”
Christie’s auction house confirmed to Fox News that it is hosting an auction that includes a doghouse from Costa Rica that was struck by a meteorite on April 23, 2019. The occupant of the house, a German Shepard named Roky, wasn’t injured during the incident. Though the dog was understandably startled by event.
Peter Brown, a professor of physics and astronomy at Western University, confirmed what it was, saying, “It’s certainly a meteorite.”
