My local Saturday newspaper had a small piece about a meteorite that hit a
parked car in France. Anybody heard about this yet? From the article, I
quote:
"Chambery, France (AP) - A three pound meteorite tore through the roof of a
parked car Friday in this French Alpine city, setting the vehicle on fire but
causing no injuries.
Police said the small molten-basalt rock fell from the sky around 3am.
Scientists at the nearby University of Savoie pronounced in non-radioactive.
The car's owner - awakened by the crash and fire - refused to believe it was
a meteorite and insisted of filing an arson complaint with police."
