The Hodges Meteorite
At 1:00 p.m. on November 30, 1954, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Hodges was minding her own business dozing on the couch of her Sylacauga, Alabama home when suddenly an 8.5-pound meteorite crashed through the roof, bounced around the living room, and hit her squarely on the upper thigh and hip. Hodges escaped with just a bruise (though quite a nasty bruise it was) in the only verified instance in history when an object falling from space has hit and injured a human being.
