Description:

While many in the world are wondering where on Earth a falling satellite could hit, one California man had his own space mishap. A meteorite slammed into his house! That was how Mike Gibson responded after he was rudely awakened the night of August 13. " I heard a boom like you wouldn't believe hitting our house, middle of the night, " said Gibson. He ran outside and searched his roof with a flashlight, and that's when he saw what happened. " A huge impact zone about 4 & #189; -6 feet around was in my roof, " he said. But Gibson still didn't quite know what had happened. The Perseid meteor shower was taking place, and Mike thought maybe, just maybe it was a meteorite that hit his home. But he couldn't find proof. That's when his son, Ben, joined in the search in the front yard plants. " Grabbed some gloves, brought it over, started lifting it up, soon as he lifted it up, you're able to see, it's not a rock from Earth, " he said. " We took it over to City College, my daughter did, to her astronomy professor and he tested it, and it has magnetism, that's a meteorite. " But with all the initial excitement came the harsh reality this meteorite did thousands of dollars in damage to the home, and could've done some serious harm. " Going faster than a bullet, it's hitting at 20,000 miles an hour, " he said. Gibson is just happy that no one was injured, and now a month later, is still excited about his outer space visitor.

who knows anymore - one fell in OK some years ago - Nuuminite - probably spelled it wrong - it is older that dirt and a need stone/rock - I got one from my sisters store

 

I have a 9:45 am apt with my eye doctor tomorrow - no more eye problems - migraines from the weather - it was probably high blood from being stressed by the idiot cable company - $265 to fix my computer and a new keyboard and mouse - I am not going to eat it

 

How odd!   How fortunate no one was hurt and they have a cool " rock " to show for their adventure. 

hugs
