I was at home at that hour and writing in my study; and
although my French windows face towards Ottershaw
and the blind was up (for I loved in those days to look up
at the night sky), I saw nothing of it. Yet this strangest of
all things that ever came to earth from outer space must
have fallen while I was sitting there, visible to me had I
only looked up as it passed. Some of those who saw its
flight say it travelled with a hissing sound. I myself heard
nothing of that.
-The War of the Worlds,
H.G. Wells

earth from outer space must have fallen while I was
