You want a better source?

"The good news, says Dr. Nugent, is that no known asteroids currently
pose any significant hazard to humans. Only one American is known
definitively to have been hit by a meteorite (what an asteroid is called
after it lands on Earth). In 1954, Ann Hodges of Alabama was struck by
one that fell through her roof, leaving a nearly foot-long bruise on her
side."

In March, Dr. Nugent released her first book, “Asteroid Hunters,” about
the science of tracking and studying space rocks.
