A family discovered a hole in their car's windscreen when they got up, but their inquisitive youngster quickly figured out what was wrong.
The night before, Paul Butler and his family were watching TV when they heard a big crash outside. They thought it was holiday fireworks and went to bed.
When they awoke the following morning, they saw that the car’s glass was broken, but their 12-year-old son had found a small, shining black pebble nearby that was different from the other stones.
The perceptive When Nathan placed a magnet next to the rock, he discovered that it was magnetised, which is a clear indication that the stone most likely fell to Earth from space.
Nathan told SWNS news, “I was looking around on the ground near the car and there was a black rock right by the front wheel that stood out from all the others.”
“I was unsure until we used a magnet and did some internet research, but I wondered if it might be a meteorite.”
According to his 55-year-old father, it “looked like it had been burned” and had “a strange shape.”
Since it wasn’t present when the automobile pulled into the driveway, it is the only plausible explanation for the damage.
“It appears that the impact broke the glass that covered the driver’s seat and dashboard inside the vehicle.”
The family enjoyed describing the billion-to-one source of the damage when they brought the vehicle to a neighbouring repair shop in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.
