"Pieces of an "astonishingly rare" meteorite, which lit up the sky last week, have been found on someone's driveway! It's the first time in 30 years that a meteorite has been recovered in the UK. The fragments, which scientists are calling "incredibly exciting", have been identified as very rare and were discovered in the Winchcombe area of Gloucestershire. Scientists had calculated where some of the pieces would land and had asked people to look out for them in their gardens." I think I found some on my car. I may send it in for analysis

My immediate thought was that I'd wished it fell on my driveway or even smashed my car up. I suspect it's worth tens of thousands (and my car's ten years old).
