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. https://www.google.com/#q=asteroid+hunters+by+carrie+nugent
