Today In History
A meteorite has crashed into Chevy Malibu. Michelle Knapp was watching televesion in her living room when she heard a thunderous crash in her driveway. When she ran out to investigate she found a sizeable hole in the rear end of her car, an orange 1980 Chevy Malibu. There was also a matching hole on the gravel driveway underneath the car, and in the hole was a, bowling-ball–sized rock. It was very heavy for its size and weighed about 28 pounds. It was also pretty warm to touch and had a strange rotten egg scent to it. The next day a curator from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City had confirmed that the object was a genuine meteorite.
