That's a great idea and a great post Majoska. Here's a bit of trivia which concerns a rather amazing coincidence about two meteorites which fell in Wethersfield, CT, USA. In April 8, 1971, the meteorite in your database fell on a house and crashed through the roof. 11 1/2 years later, November 8, 1982, a meteorite crashed through the roof of another house in Wethersfield CT. After passing through the roof and into the living room, it bounced into the dining room, and landed under a table.
The one which fell in Sylacauga, Alabama, is the only known case of a meteorite hitting a person in the US. Ann Hodges of Sylacauga was slightly injured when the meteorite crashed through the roof of her home and hit her in the hip, bruising her. The story. MORE CLOSE CALLS
