Meteorite smashes windshield

GRIMSBY, Ontario, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- An Ontario man thought vandals
had smashed his mother's car windshield with rocks but it turned
out the rocks came from a meteorite, officials in Canada said.
The meteorite's fireball lit up the sky over Ontario Sept. 25 with
a light 100 times brighter than the moon.
Researchers at the University of Western Ontario tracked the
remains of the fireball to Grimsby, Ontario, where Tony
Garchinski discovered the windshield of his mother's car shattered
and five small black rocks sitting in the driveway, Canwest News
Service reported Saturday.
