I have one of the stones that fell over Chelyabinsk Russia on February 15th, 2013. The meteor exploded in our atmosphere and created a sonic boom that broke thousands of windows and knocked down doors. Thousands of pieces of meteorite rained down on the earth that day. I have one of those pieces. If you do a Google search of that event, you’ll find videos taken by Russian citizens showing the smoke trail left by the meteor and you can ...Expand for more
