Well, it *did* go all the way through the car, and we don't get to see the
hole in the ground -- there's a woman out there somewhere who was in her
house when a meteorite came through the roof and whacked her on the thigh
-- made an awful bruise, but that's all.  Pretty sure you can find a
picture of the bruise, and maybe the meteorite too, on the web
somewhere.  Try snopes.com.  It was a lot smaller than that one though, I
believe.

More to the point, it wouldn't be a NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day if it
weren't real...
