In 1997, Lottie Williams "felt a tap on her shoulder" and looked, but no one was there.

"I think I was blessed that it doesn't weigh that much..." I mean, that was one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me."

The weirdest thing that ever happened to her?! She is unique in all of humanity: the only person to have been hit by a piece of falling space junk.

But the junk that will fall from the sky later this week is the size of a school bus. It won't hit the ground (or, more likely, the water) the size of a school bus. It will break up and burn, with the biggest piece weighing maybe 300 pounds, which won't feel like a tap on the shoulder if it hits you, but there's only a 1 in 3,200 chance that it will hit a human being, and if it hits a human being, it's terribly unlikely to be you.
