Mr and Mrs Thomas Hill, who lived at Keithick lodge just outside Coupar Angus (about 10 miles away) were nearly killed by a meteorite after they heard a frightful crash as the meteorite crashed through their Kitchen Roof. Even then I don't think a helmet would have helped if it had actually hit someone on the head as it weighed over a 2 lbs and was traveling around 150mph There was a bigger one that fell nearby that weighed over 22 lbs.

I have actually seen this rock that fell out of the sky!

It was being sold in an auction last year.
