 Your risk of being hit by something falling from space is really, really low. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning. But as we hear from ABC's Jim Ryan, the space junk risk is rising. As slim as the chances are, it is still possible to be hit by space junk. I felt it roll off my shoulder and it hit the ground. Lottie Williams was in a park in Tulsa in 1997 when it happened. I just turned around to look and I saw something dark laying there on the ground.
