Komaki meteorite strikes houses in Aichi, Japan

When

Late on a rainy night, a stone dented a house roof in Komaki, Aichi, then holed a neighbor's carport. Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science found space-made isotopes, confirming a fresh L6 chondrite fall, the country's first confirmed fall since 2003.
