AGAIN? As far as I know only 1 person was ever hit by a meteor so you should be famous
@starwatcher-al It's not as cut and dry as that. I was in Japan walking through a very very wide ally between four story buildings, about fifty to seventy five yards apart. Maybe a quarter mile long. Midway a rock smacked me in the middle of my back. I looked all around, I yelled, I assumed someone threw that rock, but it would have been a hell of a hit for that distance. The rock was stony and ambient temperature. I just see nowhere else it could have come from, and it hurt when it hit.
I didn't even consider the possibility until I watched meteor men and they were talking about finding meteors on ice. They explained small meteors can break away and cool as they slow down.
I wish I had kept the rock...I was just mad someone could bean me from so far away I couldn't detect them until then.
@Willow_Wisp Wow, yeah, too bad you did not keep the rock and take it to a geologist. You could have been famous.
@starwatcher-al Weird stupid stuff happens to me all the time. I bought a lotto quick pick and forgot I had, two days later in a town two hundred miles away I bought another quick pick. They weren't winners, but they had matching numbers. Isn't that the same odds as winning, but still losing?
@desertastronomer You're an ass hole that just made my block list, which I'll do as soon as I'm fairly certain your stupid ass has read my reply.
@Willow_Wisp Gee, a girl can't even have a little fun.
@starwatcher-al It's always like that, you read your horoscope once in thirty years for the fun of it and some person with a stick up their ass has to take the fun out of it.
