That Meteor Hitting the Kid Story

A bunch of you have sent in links to this story about a 14-year-old getting hit by a meteor in Germany.  But it all just didn’t add up.  I mean, he got grazed in the hand and then the meteorite slammed into the ground and made a 1-foot crater!  Are you effing with me??

So I had Fassinator run some calculations in his astrophysics apps (amazing what the iPhone can do these days — 3.0 rocks!) and he confirmed there’s no way the incident could’ve happened like it’s been reported.

So that got us to thinking — is this another government cover-up?  What if an alien was landing and that’s what made the crater?  And this kid saw it so they said, if you keep quiet, we’ll make you famous.  And that’s when they conjured up this wack story. We won’t link to it or post images, it would only further THEIR agenda.
