There are safe light shows when there is a meteorite shower. A man in Northern California says his house was destroyed when a meteorite hit it.
There is a chance that the claim is a hoax or a misunderstanding.
A bright ball of light seen near Nevada County'sDustin Procita's house was probably a meteorite from the Taurids meteor shower.
Procita said that he heard a big bang. I smelled smoke. The porch was engulfed in flames.
According to the report, people from all over the rural farming region saw the fireball, which was captured on film.
The captain of the Penn Valley Fire Department told the news station that although he didn't see the strange ball of light himself, he's taking the accounts of people who saw it seriously.
Miller said that everyone he talked to said it was a flaming ball that fell from the sky and landed in the general area. I had one person tell me about it and I put it in the back of my mind but then more people came in and talked about it.
When meteorites do touch the ground, they're usually cool to the touch, according to a statement from NASA.
He said that if it was a meteorite that hit his house, he would attempt to turn his luck around.
He said it was a one in four trillion chance of a meteorite hitting your house, so he might be buying a lottery ticket today.
NASA has released the first ever audio of meteorites smashing into Mars.
