re: Meteor Destroys German Cottage
Let's see, a house burns down "mysteriously", and suddenly an extraterrestrial cause is invoked with no evidence whatsoever.
Sounds pretty bogus to me...
If this is substantiated with evidence of impact damage to the house prior to the fire, or meteorite debris recovered from the ruins, then I'll retract my scepticism.
A 10 mm fragment wouldn't reach the ground, anyway...
