Kid Hit by Meteorite and Survives
This reminds me of an event back when I lived in Home Park near GaTech. One day, Jeff C. and I found a hole in his room’s wall (2nd floor) that went all the way through the vinyl siding to outside. The drywall was pushed inwards like a projectile came from outside. We found a little bit of rock in the space in the wall. I believe we considered it being a meteorite but dismissed it, thinking a bullet was much more likely and that the rock was from house construction debris. However, the hole wasn’t bullet-shaped and we didn’t find a bullet either. We probably should have investigated further since a meteorite would be very valuable…
