The odds are even lower than winning the lottery! A woman living in Schirmeck, in northeastern France, was drinking coffee and chatting with her girlfriends on the balcony of her home. She first heard a loud noise from the roof, and then she was suddenly hit in the ribs by an unknown object.
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the incident happened on the 6th of this month. When the woman was enjoying leisure time on the balcony with her girlfriends, she suddenly heard a loud “bang” sound from the roof. The next second, she felt her ribs being hit. At first she thought it was hit by a bat or a bird. Later, she found a cement-colored stone at her feet, regarding the size of a golf ball. The violent impact also caused bruises on the woman’s ribs.
Afterwards, the woman handed over the rock to geologist Thierry Rebmann for identification. It was found that the rock contained iron and silicon, the typical components of meteorites. It was preliminarily determined that the woman was indeed hit by a rare meteorite flying from outside the sky. “It is already very rare to find a meteorite. It is even rarer in astronomy to directly touch and be hit by it.”
However, other scholars believe that meteorites enter the atmosphere at high speed to generate high temperatures, and most meteorites should have a glass-like smooth surface. However, the appearance of the stone dictated by Dr. Leibman is obviously different from that of meteorites, and it is suspected that the identification results may be wrong.
