Sussex Man
Hit by Meteorite From Space

Sussex cricket fan Jan Marszel looked up in
amazement as he saw a small, dark round
object hurtle towards him on the boundary
edge.
But it was not one of Luke Wright’s mammoth
pulls coming his way – it was a meteorite
that had fallen from outer space – and
nearly struck him on the head.
It’s thought to be the first
extra-terrestrial crash landing in the UK
for nearly 20 years.
