The sky is falling! The sky is FALLING!!1!11!

Explanation: The Peekskill meteor of 1992 was captured on
16 independent videos and then struck a car. Documented as
brighter than the full Moon, the spectacular fireball crossed
parts of several US states during its 40 seconds of glory before
landing in Peekskill, New York. The resulting meteorite,
pictured here, is composed of dense rock and has the size and
mass of an extremely heavy bowling ball. If you are lucky
enough to find a meteorite just after impact, do not pick it up --
parts of it are likely to be either very hot or very cold. In this
weekend's Leonid meteor shower, few meteors, if any, are
expected to hit the ground.
