[meteorite-list] Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite

[Michael Farmer]

I just don't see how the camera
could even focus at those speeds, the skydiver and rock intersecting at what, 300+ mph minimum? How
could the camera catch it in focus? For even a split second.
It is just all to crazy to believe.
