Mysterious Object falls from sky

**Grunt 70** · 01-04-2007, 08:56 AM

Got a kick out of this CNN piece that described how a metallic "object" mysteriously fell from the sky, piercing a roof and landing in someone's bathroom. It's got to be a meteorite right ?? I'm surpised we don't hear more about this phenomenon. Surely someone somewhere must've been unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time--now that'd be a tragic way to go.

Probably not :

meteorite noun, astron the remains of a meteoroid which has survived burn-up in its passage through the Earth's atmosphere as a meteor.

More likely something fell off the ISS.

ROFL...the ISS...

Astronaut: "Whoopsies daisies..."
Control: "What's going on up there?"
Astronaut: "I think I just hurled the solar panel towards Texas..."
Control: "Gosh darnit, just grab another one!"

20 mins. later...

*whack* *boom*

Reporter: "It seems that just a few minutes ago, this man (points at remains of middle aged man on toilet) was enjoying a late night when a mysterious object struck him from behind."

Blah Blah Blah...

It looks like gold. Probably the revenge of the gold rush.

If anyone's ever watched the series Dead Like Me they're familiar with this phenomenon. The main character gets her start as a grim reaper when shes killed by a toilet seat from space.

Im guessing its this. A piece of some Russian rocket debris. Really is re-assuring that Russia is helping back ISS and their rockets seem to fall back to earth.

I wouldn't have told anybody and kept it to myself for a while. I figure I could sell it and have enough money to fix my house.

Alien fecal matter.
