A meteorite crashes through a home in Canada, barely missing a woman's head [View all]

Ruth Hamilton had a rude awakening earlier this month when a large meteorite plunged from space, through her roof and landed in her bed.

The resident of Golden, British Columbia, woke up to the sound of a crash and her dog barking.

"I've never been so scared in my life," Hamilton, 66, told the Canadian Press of the Oct. 3 incident that occurred about 11:35 p.m. "I wasn't sure what to do so I called 911 and, when I was speaking with the operator, I flipped over my pillow and saw that a rock had slipped between two pillows."

"I didn't feel it," she told CTV News in Vancouver. "It never touched me. I had debris on my face from the drywall, but not a single scratch."
