Ruth Hamilton was asleep in her bed when she was awakened by the sound of a crash through her ceiling and the sensation of debris on her face. "I just jumped up and turned on the light, I couldn't figure out what the heck had happened," she said.
The British Columbia resident called 911. A police officer arrived; after exploring their options and examining the hole in her ceiling and a black rock on her pillow, the two decided that a meteorite had come through her roof.
Others in the area had seen a bright light in the sky that exploded and caused some booms. Ruth, however, experienced personally what others only observed. She says her experience has given her a new perspective: "Life is precious and it could be gone at any moment, even when you think you are safe and secure in your bed.
"I hope I never take life for granted again. It is a gift from God and may He sustain it."
