Abstract

Lottie Williams made history in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, on 22 January 1997. Out on an early morning walk in the park, she noticed a bright light in the sky and thought initially that she was looking at a star. But several minutes later she felt something hit her shoulder. It turns out that what she had seen was part of a spent Delta rocket burning up in the atmosphere, and that a small piece of that rocket – made from a lightweight metallic material – had struck her (but did not injure her) as it fell to Earth.
