A woman who miraculously avoided the meteorite that broke through the roof and fell

According to a study by Professor Stephen Nelson, who studies natural disasters at the University of Turene, the rate of meteorites hitting and dying is 1 in 1.6 million. It is unlikely that he will die, but a woman who has miraculously avoided a meteorite that has fallen from the sky toward her head has become a hot topic.

The miraculous experience was with Ruth Hamilton, who lives in British Columbia, Canada. One day, when Hamilton was sleeping at home, a dog in the neighborhood woke up with a barking voice. The next moment, an explosion sounded, and Hamilton's eyes were filled with huge explosions and debris. Hamilton immediately jumped out of bed, turned on the lights, and hurriedly called the police.

When Hamilton, who had settled down while being asked some questions by the operator, suddenly saw the bed he was sleeping in, a huge meteorite jumped into his eyes.

The following is a meteorite that actually sits on Mr. Hamilton's bed.

There was a hole in the ceiling that would have been made by a meteorite. And the place where the meteorite fell is exactly the place of the pillow of the bed where Mr. Hamilton was sleeping, only about 10 cm from the place where Mr. Hamilton's head was. If Mr. Hamilton had turned over even once, there was a good chance that his head was shattered by the meteorite.

Initially, Hamilton was unaware that the object on the bed was a meteorite. Local police who came to the investigation also suspected that some debris had flown from a nearby construction site. However, even when the local police heard from the surrounding area, no one witnessed the explosion near the construction site, but rather the testimony that 'I saw a big shooting star' and 'I heard a roaring sound' was obtained.

So, when I contacted a team of experts at Western Ontario University to investigate, it turned out that 'the object on the bed is definitely a meteorite.' Professor Peter Brown of the Faculty of Astronomy at the University of Western Ontario commented, 'The situation at the scene showed that everything was a meteorite fall. The fact that bright fireballs were seen at the same time confirms that.' increase.

At the time of writing the article, the meteorite is being investigated by Professor Brown's research team, but Professor Brown predicts that 'the meteorite may have flown from the asteroid belt of the solar system.'
