Alien 'Golf' Shot Pretty Dam Forceful SYDNEY (Reuters) - Even for an alien it was a poor shot an intergalactic out of bounds in the water, irretrievably embedded in the earth, for a one stroke penalty. The mysterious object which slammed into an Australian dam, leaving a large crater and attracting nationwide attention, has turned out to be a meteorite but only the size of a golf ball. Police divers on Friday recovered sediment and fragments from the dam at Guyra, 250 miles north of Sydney, which geologists believe came from a ``golf-ball' size meteorite which landed sometime between Monday and Wednesday. Despite its small size, the force of the impact left a 50-foot-long and 20-foot-wide crater in the dam, and the meteorite penetrated the bottom of the dam. ``The meteorite has penetrated the mud at the bottom of the dam and is now embedded about 13 feet into granite and unable to be removed,' said a police spokeswoman.
