In November 1954, Ann Hodges was napping on the sofa inside her rented house in Sylacauga, Alabama. Something crashed through the ceiling, bounced off her radio and hit her hip.
It was a meteorite, a grapefruit-sized rock from space. She became the first person known for certain to be hurt by one.
Then the house's owner claimed the rock as hers. They settled: the Hodges family paid her $500 and kept it.
