Gerrit Blank is a 14 year old kid from Germany. One day when he was on his way to school he saw a bright light flash in front of him and noticed a pain in one of his hands. Seconds later he then heard an eardrum rattling kaboom and a foot wide crater appeared in the ground near where he was standing. Gerrit had been struck by a pea sized asteroid traveling approximately 30,000 mph and survived! The odds of this happening are one in a million. Scientists retrieved the pea sized meteorite from the crash site and confirmed that it was not of this world. Now Gerrit sports a cool little scar on his hand and one heck of a story. Talk about lucky, here's a link to the original story.
