    Meteorites (and probably comets) have been connected with various religions for a long time. In Ephesians 19:35, the city recorder is quoted as saying "Men of Ephesus, who in the entire world doesn't know that Ephesus is the home of Artemis temple, and of her image which fell from the heavens?"

    What would this "image" be, other than a meteorite? (possibly reshaped by human hands). A very thorough development of the connection between comets, meteorites, and human affairs can be found in the book "COMET", by Carl Sagan. This was a sequel to his better known book "COSMOS", but is very interesting and stands on its own merits.
