Meterorite chunk crashes into house, bedroom, pillow
It kind of makes me wonder if my intuition about how rare meteorites are is a bit off; for one meteorite to almost hit a person, there must be many more meteorites that weren't noticed, or were never found.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_event#Frequency_and_ris...> An estimated 500 meteorites reach the surface each year, but only 5 or 6 of these typically create a weather radar signature with a strewn field large enough to be recovered and be made known to scientists.I wonder if there are places on the sea floor with piles of these things that have accumulated over the years and for whatever reason not been buried in sediment?  I suppose iron meteorites would probably rust and disintegrate; maybe some of other materials might survive.
