A meteorite (隕石) almost hit an 80-year-old man named Arthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden.The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain.
The meteorite weighed (重量) one kilo,and might be over four thousand million (百萬(wàn)) years old.
“I hear the big noise in the air.I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,” he said.“I didn't know what it was.”
Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space.About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year,but only very few are found.Mr.Pettifer's meteorite is the fifth to fall in Britain since the Second World War.
Mr.Pettifer is glad.“When you think about it coming from so far away,it really is something strange.”
