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.”

This story reminds of the Park Ranger in Virginia who was struck by lightning 7 separate times and survived. If I were this guy, I would find a nice cave.

    Since when did aliens start throwing meteors at annoying humans?

  3. MikeR says:

    Those people who attract meteorites (and lightning) are obviously cheesing off the great Spaghedeity. Stop it!

  4. hhopper says:

    I suggest he paint a target on his neighbor’s roof.

  5. Improbus says:

    Can we get him to move to Crawford, TX?

    #5. Or Wash. DC….something about 2 birds, one stone.

    His magnetic personality?

    Oh yes I can just see travelers from light years away with there giant slingshot.

    Thomas Pynchon is not amused.

  11. RBG says:

    I can’t think of any other explanation myself. Maybe clever trickery, but what are the chances compared to aliens?

    That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time – thanks!!!

    I wonder what the average space meteor brings on the market these days? He might be looking at a very lucrative next career.

  14. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    I’ve been using a tin foil hat to divert asteroids, meteors and comets. Works well against tractor beams, mind control waves and government wiretaps. He should try it too.

  15. pnelson says:

    He collects meteorites then hoaxes their collision with his property and plays it up to get attention. I’d say that’s slightly more likely than his explanation of aliens — considering the evidence at hand.
