If your house got hit by a meteorite, you’d think it was a weird coincidence. I mean, that doesn’t happen every day. What if it got hit again? And again? And again?
And again?
That’s what has happened to Radivoje Lajic, a Bosnian man whose home is being pelted by celestial projectiles every time it rains.
Experts at Belgrade University have confirmed that all the rocks Radivoje Lajic has handed over were meteorites.
They are now investigating local magnetic fields to try and work out what makes the property so attractive to the heavenly bodies.
But Mr Lajic, who has had a steel girder reinforced roof put on the house he owns in the northern village of Gornja Lamovite, has an alternative explanation.
He said: “I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don’t know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit five times has to be deliberate.”
The first meteorite fell on his house in November last year and since then a further four have smashed into his home. The strikes always happen when it is raining heavily, never when there are clear skies.
He said: “I did not know what the strange-looking stones were at first but I have since had them all confirmed as meteorites by experts at Belgrade University.
“I am being targeted by aliens. They are playing games with me. I don’t know why they are doing this. When it rains I can’t sleep for worrying about another strike.”
When getting pranked by aliens, sometimes it’s best to just do what Chad does (note - bit o’ salty language):
Yeah, I agree. It’s obviously aliens. But I was kind of hoping that they’d turn out to have more sophisticated weapons technology than, well, rocks.
Pelting a guy with rocks just seems so…
so…
Islamic.
…or sophomoric,
which more or less amounts to the same thing.
