The rock bounced off the roof of her house and hit her in the chest.
A woman from a village in Alsace in east France has told how she was hit by a meteorite as she sat on her terrace - an incredibly rare event.
Just before the woman and a friend had heard a loud "boom" from the roof of the house as they sat outside at 4:00 on July 6, she told her local paper
Dernière Nouvelles d'Alsace.
She said the stone bounced off the roof and struck her in the chest, leaving a bruise over her ribs.Her first thought was that it was an animal, before she realised what had happened.
The woman, from Schirmeck, later had it checked out by a geologist, Dr Thierry Rebmann.
