7. Meteor, Alabama, U.S.


On the afternoon of Nov. 30, 1954, Ann Elizabeth, who was snoozing in her house in Alabama, was hit on her hips by an 8-pound-meteor. It destroyed her roof falling into the house and rebounding off the radio onto her hips. The meteor just left her with a minor bruise, and she is still the first known person to have been hit by a meteor.
