Quote:Falling rocks from the sky (meteorites) became a generally accepted scientific phenomenon around 1803–1804. Before this time, mainstream European science largely dismissed reports of falling stones as folklore, volcanic, or superstitious nonsense, preferring to believe—based on Aristotelian philosophy and Newton’s physics—that interplanetary space was empty.

Quote:In 1802, Howard published the results of his analysis and his conclusions regarding the Wold Cottage incident, convincing a growing number of scientists that meteorites actually represent extraterrestrial matter falling from the sky.
However, a large number of conservative scientists kept on denying the obvious facts, among them some of the most influential members of the respected French Academy of Sciences. Their mockery and sarcasm was silenced several months after Howard's publication: on April 26, 1803, a shower of about 3,000 stones fell in broad daylight near L'Aigle, France, witnessed by countless people.
