Targeted by aliens

I dont know if this is in the right section. I hope it is as it does mention aliens:

A Bosnian man whose home has been hit an incredible five times by meteorites believes he is being targeted by aliens.

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."

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum!

What are the odds of one house being hit be meteorites five times? Has to be astronomical! I'd have loved to see some pictures of the areas of his house that were hit, and pics of the meteorites as well. (The skeptic in me pictures this guy buying pieces of the rocks on ebay and throwing them through holes in his roof or something...)

Interesting. The chances are indeed infinately slim to be hit that many times. I wonder if the meteorites somehow belong together? Maybe there will be more.

It is quite improbable that a meteorite breaks up and all of it hits the same location on seperate occasions, sometimes days apart.

I am more inclined to agree with JeepGal and his ebay account should be looked at
