This might sound like those that we usually see in movies but Ruth Hamilton, 66, awoke with fear on October 3 after a huge meteor from space burst through her roof and landed in her bed.

Ruth, who lives in Golden, British Columbia, was awakened on October 3 at 11:35 p.m. by the sound of a collision and her dog barking.

"I'd never been more scared in my life," she says, adding, "I didn't know what to do, so I phoned 911, and when I spoke to the worker, she asked for a pillow, and he noticed that a stone had fallen between two cushions."

“This has never touched me. I had debris on my face from the drywall, but not a single scratch.”

When a police officer arrived on the scene, he thought that the piece that had fallen on Hamilton's bed had come from a nearby construction site.

"Call [construction site]" They said they didn't produce an explosion, but they witnessed one in the sky, which led us to believe it was a meteor."

The 2.8-pound space rock, the size of a small coal, was discovered as part of a meteor shower spotted by Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Calgary, and colleagues.

According to the organization, the meteor that impacted Hamilton's house would have been visible in southeastern British Columbia as well as central and southern Alberta.
