FIRST DROPS
Man Says He Was Nearly Hit by Meteorite
A Nebrasks man was watering his yard last week when he had a very rare and close encounter with a possible meteorite.
Brad Kinzie was out watering his yard in the wee hours of the morning Saturday - trying to avoid the hottest period of the day - when an object whizzed by his head and landed.
“It came over my head, probably, about a foot and a half. I could feel the breeze,” Kinzie said. “It was silver and it kind of had red and black on the back of it and smoke.”
The object landed about 65 feet from where Kinzie was watering.
"I stood ... here looking at it, ‘cause it was still glowing. I says, ‘Wow,’” Kinzie said.
