Canada: Ruth Hamilton was awakened by a meteor that shattered the roof

Ruth Hamilton had been sleeping for several hours when she was suddenly awakened by her barking dog. This gave her a little second to wake up, before a meteor came flying into the bedroom through the ceiling.

In an interview with The Canadian Press tells Hamilton that she experienced it all as an explosion, when roof remnants splashed on her face.

– I have never been so scared in my whole life, she says.

Landed on the pillow

Confused and in shock, Hamilton called the emergency number. During the conversation, she discovered that the meteor, the size of a melon, had torn up the roof and landed on her pillow, only millimeters from where she had been a few moments earlier.

– I was shaking like an aspen leaf. You lie down and sleep, and think you are safe in bed, then you can obviously be hit by a meteor.

When the police arrived at the scene, the policeman first thought that this was a consequence of an explosion at a construction site nearby, writes the Canadian broadcasting company CBC.

Scientists confirm: From space

The construction site was contacted, but they had not carried out any blasting work. They had, however, seen a great explosion in the sky. That was when the puzzle pieces began to fall into place.

Hamilton reported his findings to experts at Western University in London, Ontario. Here she was confirmed that she had actually found a stone from space on her pillow.

Now she plans to send them the stone, with the hope that they can identify the type of meteorite in question.

She herself thinks the rock has fallen from the solar system’s asteroid belt.
