Questionable: Boy Is Allegedly Hit By Meteorite, Lives To Tell Spread Lies About It
Allegedly Gerrit Blank, 14, of Essen, Germany, got hit by a pea-sized meteorite on his way to school.
A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.
The teenager survived the strike, the chances of which are just 1 in a million - but with a nasty three-inch long scar on his hand.He said: "At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand.
"The noise that came after the flash of light was so loud that my ears were ringing for hours afterwards.
"When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still going fast enough to bury itself into the road," he explained.
Jesus, Gerrit, so you didn't finish your book report, it's not that big a deal.
