Meteorite crashes through roof of Canada woman’s home and on to bed

I've never been so scared in my life,' says Ruth Hamilton after meteorite shower above a western Canadian region

A woman in Canada awoke in shock earlier this week when a rock crashed through the ceiling of her home and landed on her bed, narrowly missing her but spraying grit and other debris on her face, as her dog barked frantically.

Police were called and the culprit was initially suspected to be a construction site nearby, where work must have sent the fist-sized projectile onto the woman's pillow. But when the construction workers said they had not set any blasts - but had just seen an explosion in the sky - the consensus quickly became that the rock was a meteorite, the Canadian Press reported.
