Best of the Web: Meteorite impact suspected as parked car is punctured in Strasbourg, France

The fire department in Strasbourg, France, said it suspected "the fall of a stellar body" as the culprit.

Officials in Strasbourg are investigating a suspected meteorite strike, after a parked car was found with a 50-centimetre diameter hole in its roof.

The fire department were called out early on Monday morning to reports of smoke coming from a car which was parked in a suburb of the city in north-east France.

"Following reconnaissance by the first team, we suspect the fall of a stellar body," wrote the Bas-Rhin Sdis, the regional fire department, in its intervention report published mid-day.

"When we arrived, we noticed a relatively large impact, around 50 centimetres in diameter, which had gone through the roof, underbody and fuel tank of the vehicle", fire department captain Matthieu Colobert told AFP.

A search concluded that there was no radioactivity.

Comment: French meteor experts say the country has recorded just 50 or so meteorite falls over four centuries.

So what would you say if we told you that, just 20km west of Strasbourg, and just 4 months ago, another meteorite fell and actually hit someone?!..
