A meteorite fell on a woman having coffee with a friend in France full details

There have been incidents of meteorites falling on Earth, but what happened this time is strange. A meteorite fell on a woman in France. At the time of the incident the woman was with her friend and was drinking coffee. The good thing is that the woman was not seriously injured. Initially the woman and her friend thought that a piece of cement had fallen. When in doubt, he took help from an expert. Only then did it come to light that the piece that hit the woman was a meteorite.

French newspaper Les Dernieres Nouvelles d’Alsace (DNA) has reported the incident. It is told that the woman was talking with her friend on the terrace. Both were drinking coffee. Then a mysterious pebble hit the woman’s ribs.

Talking to local media, the woman said that she heard a sound on the terrace. The next moment there was a jolt in the ribs. Initially it seemed that it was some animal like a bat. Then when I saw that thing, I thought it was cement. But it had no color. This incident is being reported from the commune of Shirmec in the north-east of France. The identity of the woman has not been revealed.

After the incident, the woman and her friend went to a roofer. He told that that thing was not made of cement. The woman showed the mysterious thing to a geologist, Thierry Rebmann. Then it was revealed that it was a meteorite. The fragments recovered have a mass equal to 4 ounces. The geologist also confirmed that it is very rare for such things to collide with people.

Newsweek quoted NASA wrote It is estimated that 50 tons of meteorite material falls on Earth every day, but most of it falls in the sea. Even if it falls on Earth, it is difficult to identify it from the rocks here, because meteorites and rocks look similar.

The report says that the first case of a meteorite colliding with a human came to light 70 years ago in America. An Alabama resident was hit by a meteorite weighing 8 pounds and suffered serious injuries.
