Our planet experiences falls of meteorites with different airburst and ground impact risk. Some of these meteors can survive after the atmospheric passage and fall into the ground. Although there are claims that people were hit and killed by meteorites in history, the historical records do not prove this fact so far. This issue might be due to the fact that either the manuscript was written in a language other than English or there is not enough interest in historical records. To the best of our knowledge, we show the first proof of an event ever that a meteorite hit and killed a man and left paralyzed another on August 22, 1888 in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, based on three manuscripts written in Ottoman Turkish that were extracted from the General Directorate of State Archives of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey. This event was also reported to Abdul Hamid II (34th sultan of the Ottoman Empire) by the governor of Sulaymaniyah. These findings suggest other historical records may still exist that describe other events that caused death and injuries by meteorites.

陨石死亡和受伤的最早证据

我们的星球经历了具有不同爆炸危险和地面撞击风险的陨石坠落。这些流星中的一些可以在大气通过后幸存下来并掉入地下。尽管有人声称历史上有人被陨石打死，但迄今为止的历史记录并未证明这一事实。此问题可能是由于以下事实：手稿是用英语以外的其他语言编写的，还是对历史记录没有足够的兴趣。据我们所知，我们展示了有史以来第一个证据证明，陨石在1888年8月22日在伊拉克苏莱曼尼亚（Sulaymaniyah）炸死并杀死了一名男子并使另一人瘫痪，这是根据三篇用奥斯曼土耳其语撰写的手稿摘录的。土耳其共和国总统府国家档案总局。苏莱曼尼亚的州长还向阿卜杜勒·哈米德二世（奥斯曼帝国第34苏丹）报告了这一事件。这些发现表明，仍可能存在其他历史记录，这些历史记录描述了导致陨石死亡和受伤的其他事件。
