A woman in France may have just become the second-ever known person to be hit by a falling space rock after a tiny meteorite fragment allegedly bounced off her roof and struck her in the chest, leaving her with minor bruises.
The unnamed woman, who lives in the town of Schirmeck in northeastern France, was on her porch drinking her morning coffee at around 4:00 a.m. local time on July 6 when she heard a loud "bang" from the roof and then felt something ping into her ribs, French to English news site The Connexion reported.
