Incidents with meteorites.

On the 20th a very strange thing happened, we must first clarify what asteroid we call rocks that are in space, when these rocks are small we call them meteoroids, although normally the term meteoroid is not used and they are all referred to as asteroids, but When they enter the Earth's atmosphere shining they are called meteors and when they hit the surface and we find them on the ground we call them meteorites.

A meteorite has been in the news this week because on the 20th it destroyed a car, a Renault Clio that was parked on a street in Strasbourg in France, that is the most accepted theory, because it is a bit strange, at the moment no meteorite has been found. rest of the supposed meteorite in the car that has been destroyed like this.

According to some sources, it not only pierced the roof, but also pierced the floor of the car, what happened is that the meteorite has not been found, the only thing that has been found was an object similar to a hazelnut and which they also describe as light and brown, it is possible that the meteorite disintegrated upon impact, it would be rare, but not impossible.

Other similar cases occurred, for example, in 1992 when a 13 kg meteorite fell in a town in New York and destroyed the rear of a Chevrolet Malibu and in October 2021 a meteorite almost killed Mrs. Rum Hamilton as it went through the roof of his house and fell right on his bed, luckily he missed the woman and the roof must have also cushioned much of the energy of the impact.

In both cases the rocks were found, as can be seen by seeing The Rock of Canada in the photo, but not in this one in France, which is quite strange.
