Because life is unexpectedly unpredictable, things can fall into your life from anywhere, even the depths of the sky. Many people dream about watching a falling star and making a wish. But what if it falls through your roof and lands on you? That’s not something one can ever wish for.

The night of October 4, a woman named Ruth Hamilton in the province of British Columbia in Canada, awoke to the sound of a collision and dirt on her face. The woman nearly dodged tragedy when a meteor broke her roof and fell on the pillow beside to her while she was sleeping.

A meteor had been seen earlier that night above Lake Louise, about 52 miles east, by observers. The woman dialled emergency helpline and calls were made to ensure it wasn't rubble from a nearby construction facility.

It was soon concluded that it was meteorite that had pierced her roof and crashed on her bed.

'We called the Canyon project to see if they were doing any blasting and they weren't, but they did say they had seen a bright light in the sky that had exploded and caused some booms,' explained Hamilton.

Hamilton was unharmed, and she intends to treasure the rock as a memento for her grandkids. According to Arizona State University's Center for Meteorite Studies, meteorites that come from asteroids or rocks that circle the sun, are all around 4.5 billion years old. Her insurance company will conduct a walk-through to evaluate whether her claim covers burning space stuff.
