10 Meteorite hits doctor’s office
Doctors at a small U.S. medical practice got a big surprise when a tennis ball-sized meteorite punched a hole through their roof. No one was injured.
Dr. Frank Ciampi says the rock struck the two-story building around 5:30 p.m. Monday in Lorton, Va., not far from Washington, D.C. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

is part of a long-standing effort by authorities to enforce political conformity,
