Here in Arizona we have a law that makes it a felony to fire a gun into =
the air randomly.

Now I know common sense would dictate to most intelligent people that =
firing a gun into the air is stupid and dangerous. The reason we have =
the law is that a young girl was killed in Phoenix by a bullet that was =
coming back down to earth after being fired into the air. It was a .44 =
caliber bullet 240 grain I believe. The news did not report the angle of =
entry into the girl but it did say it entered the top of her head and =
stopped inside her brain and killed her instantly. They named the law =
after the girl...it was big news here some years back

My point is that a .44 mag has a muzzle velocity of roughly 2200 feet =
per second and is carrying a lot of foot pounds of energy when it is =
fired and loses velocity as it travels. Fired straight up it would =
travel roughly a mile or more before tumbling back to earth at terminal =
velocity.=20

This girl in England was supposedly hit by a meteorite and sustained NO =
damage to her foot? Come on! I am no mathmetician but even at terminal =
velocity that rock would have/should have penetrated her foot. I do not =
know the weight of the rock she found but traveling at terminal velocity =
from even 5000 ft it SURELY would have caused some REAL damage to human =
flesh even through a shoe.

It seems incredible that anyone could believe this story. What is worse =
is that someone would report this story.

Life must be rather boring in her part of the world. It is also sad that =
the media would think so little of the general population there to think =
they would be gullible enough to believe such a story.

Just my opinion on this story and meant disrespect to only the media.

          Hello Charlie, and List,
        =20
        I once read a study about such things happening. The study went =
on to say that this occurrence happens more often than one might think.
        =20
        One of the theories states that a major reason might be from " =
Dust Devils, Water Spouts, Tornadoes, Hurricanes and from Cyclonic Winds =
with enough power to toss and hold them aloft carrying them as there =
last stop, in the Jet Stream waiting to fall down.=20
        =20
        It was also mentioned that this might be a possible cause of =
major aircraft failures.

        Thank you for your time in reading this, should we all start now =

        Dave,

        Regarding things falling from clear skies, let's not forget =
rains of
        fish and frogs. Sometimes by the hundreds. Strange but true.....

        Heads up!
