<b>Woman Hit by 'Meteorite'</b><br /><br />LINK<br /><br />A woman hanging out the washing in Suffolk could have become the first in Britain to be hit by a meteorite.<br /><br />Pauline Aguss, 76, was struck on the arm in the garden of her Lowestoft home, reports The Sun.<br /><br />She felt a sharp pain in her arm and looked down to find a deep cut. Her husband Jack then found a small, brown metallic rock where she'd been standing.<br /><br />Neil Bone of the British Astronomical Association said it was "quite possible" it was a meteorite, but added: "They're pretty rare and the chances of being struck are tiny."<br /><br />The last record of a meteorite causing injury was the death of a dog in Egypt some time in the last century.<br />
