The only human hit by a
meteorite: Ann Elizabeth Hodges, 30 November 1954 at 6:46 pm (she survived).
On a clear afternoon in Sylacauga, Alabama in 1954, Ann was napping on her couch covered by quilts when a softball size hunk of black rock broke through the ceiling, bounced off a radio and hit her in the thigh, leaving a large bruise.
