00:00 On this day in space.
00:03 In 1992, a rock the size of a bowling ball fell out of space and crash landed on someone's
00:08 Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, New York.
00:11 Thousands of people along the U.S. East Coast witnessed the Peekskill meteorite blazing
00:14 through the skies over Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania before it hit the parked
00:18 car.
00:19 18-year-old Michelle Knapp was sitting at home when she thought she heard a car crash
00:23 outside.
00:24 When she went to look, she found a hole in the trunk of her car and a smoking hot meteorite
00:28 beneath it.
00:29 She had just bought the car for $300, and after it was damaged, she sold it for $10,000.
00:33 And that's what happened on this day in space.
