A woman in British Columbia, Canada, was allegedly woken up by a meteorite that landed on her bed while she was asleep.

“I just jumped up and turned on the light, I couldn’t figure out what the heck had happened,” said Ms Hamilton.

She then looked around and found a small rock, which she told The Independent had been confirmed as a meteorite by experts at Canada’s Western University.

Ms Hamilton, who said she also now had a hole in her roof, called 911 and inquired with a nearby building works about blasting work, before concluding that it was a meteorite that hit her home.
