Skydiver Almost Hit by Meteor!! UPDATE!!
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but talk about imaging!!!
This Norwegian skydiver was fortunate in soooo many ways! This is unbelievable.
UPDATE: The latest theory on this is that it may have been a rock caught up in the parachute during previous dive.
Go to site below for more details. GEEZ, I had my nets set up and everything!
