This 14 - year - sometime boy is Gerrit Blank , and he is probably smile because he survived a 30,000 mph meteorite hit . His narrative — confirmed by scientist at Germany ’s Walter Hohmann Observatory — seems like the generation of a superhero :
At first I just saw a large ball of luminousness , and then I suddenly matte a painfulness in my hand . Then a schism second after that there was an enormous bang like a collapse of thunder . The noise that came after the flash of lightness was so gaudy that my ears were ringing for hours afterwards . When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still run tight enough to bury itself into the road .
That could have been written by Stan Lee himself , but it is what really happened . harmonize to scientists , the extremely magnetized rock-and-roll — the size of a pea plant — came from extinct space . It was in all likelihood a lot full-grown when it get in the atmosphere , but this was the mo that survived the combustion cognitive process . It impinge on him on his hand , leaving a 3 - inch mark . If the hot meteorite had hit him on his head or torso , he would be idle now .

Only one other human being has survived a meteoroid strike — a one in a million luck . [ The Daily Telegraph ]
