November 30, 1954 –
At 1 pm, an 8.5 pound stone meteorite fell from the sky and struck Ann Elizabeth Hodges from Sylacauga, Alabama. She was the first reported person in modern times to be struck by an object from outer space.
The housewife was seriously bruised but survived, although the meteorite destroyed her radio.
