[QUOTE="J.P., post: 1622829, member: 6"] There was a story about it on NPR yesterday morning and apparently a lady from Tulsa was actually struck by falling space debris....and according to the story, the only person in the entrie world to have ever been struck by such. I don't recall what year it happened but the lady said she was outside walking and witnessed what she believed to be a more extravagant than ordinary shooting star. Then she claims she felt a "tap" on the shoulder at wheich point she turned around to find nobody there.....except upon the ground was a piece of meshlike material which ended up being from a falling rocket, sattleite...or whatever. Interesting I thought. A scientist speaking during the NPR story said whoever witnesses the latest falling debris is in for a rather spectacular lightshow....so we should keep track of it and hope we are in an area to be fortunate enough to see it. I don't think we want this one to hit us tho', because apparently the chunks of it that will actually collide with Earth are large enough to injure or possibly kill a human. :shocked: On another note..... When the shuttle burnt up upon re-entry, some debris from it landed on my grandmother's car. It was more like a grey/silver oily film. She put on some rubber gloves and wiped the windshield, door/doorhandle off with a paper towel, placed the gloves/towel in a freezerbag and went diredtly to the carwash to clean it off. Shortly thereafter she heard NASA officials asking the public to report and findings.....she went out to retrieve the freezerbag and discovered that the rubber gloves that she placed inside were almost completely dissolved. :shocked: IIRC, she called the "hotline" and they said they'd come investigate but nothing ever happened.
