A meteorite hit our car windshield, causing it to crack.
It was a normal Boxing Day for the Butler family, relaxing at home and watching TV together. Little did they know, a rare and unbelievable event was about to happen. Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted their peaceful evening. They all looked at each other, wondering what it could be. But then, they dismissed it as just some noisy fireworks and went to bed.

The next day, Paul Butler, the head of the family, noticed something peculiar as he stepped outside his home in Stratford-upon-Avon. His car windshield was completely shattered, with strange stones scattered around it. Confused and shocked, he called his son Nathan over to take a look. As they inspected the area, Nathan, who has a keen eye for details, discovered a small black shiny rock lying near the car. It was about 2cm in length and unlike any other stones they had seen before.

Curious about its origins, Nathan decided to do some research. He placed a magnet next to the rock and to their surprise, it was magnetized. This could only mean one thing - the rock came from outer space! Further research on the internet confirmed their suspicions. It was a piece of meteorite that had fallen from the sky and landed right in their driveway.

Nathan excitedly shared his findings with his family. They were all amazed and couldn't believe their luck. Paul, who runs a company that provides forensic science equipment, was particularly fascinated by this extraordinary occurrence. He explained, "We all heard the loud bang last night, but we didn't think much of it. We assumed it was just some fireworks. It was only in the morning when we saw the shattered windshield that we realized something must have happened."

Paul's parents, Graham and June, were unfortunately the ones who had to drive their damaged car to a nearby garage. They had to explain the unbelievable cause of the damage to the bewildered mechanics. Paul joked, "We found out that the chances of a meteorite hitting our car in our driveway was about a billion-to-one. We might as well start buying lottery tickets now!"

Nathan, being the proud owner of the rare space rock, plans to take it to his school to show it off to his classmates. The whole family is still in disbelief over what happened and they are grateful that no one was in the car at the time of impact. It was truly a one in a billion experience that they will never forget.
