The homeowner wants to know if the federal government is going to replace his Banquet Salisbury Steak Dinner that was destroyed by the meteor? “30 more seconds, it would have been done. Except that meteor pretty much shattered my microwave oven. What am I supposed to do for my supper?
And my Cherry Cheesecake is also missing. Maybe FEMA can reimburse me. I was not thrilled with the disruption!!”

“This is something that used to be expected once every few decades and not multiple times within 20 years,” Harris explained.

The only reasonable explanation is that it’s due to global warming.

I assume that rock is worth million(s) potentially.
So, as long as nobody in your house gets actually injured by a rock flying through your roof at 1 KM/second, it literally is like winning the lottery. Sell it and it is more than worth the value of your home owners deductible

I wondered that, too. If it crashes through your roof, do you get to keep it? And if not, who pays for the damage?

Was the Meteorite ‘beeping’ like the Moon Rocks on ‘Green Acres?’ Asking for a Friend. ;)

I think the price of meteorites vary greatly, depending on the type, where it’s from, its age, etc. And also what someone is willing to pay, of course. Stony meteorites are pretty common however, and might not be worth as much as you think.

Wonder what a meteorite is worth? I found one on my property and have just kept it in a drawer.

Ann Elizabeth Fowler Hodges (deceased) of Alabama is the only known person to have been hit by a meteorite and lived.

I remember seeing pics of her in our family’s Time Life book on weather.

Watch nerds are aware that there are such things as meteorite dials made from a thin slice of meteor rock. Each slice if authentic meteorite being unique in pattern.

There is a certain appeal in owning something that is from another world. I owned a meteorite once, or at least something that was highly suspected of being one. It was never properly tested, however. What happened to it is another story.
