Qaz raised her hand and replied, 'Aristotle took the position that strong winds had lifted an Earth rock into the sky, then dropped it. .An alternate theory was developed to explain stones that fell from the sky. This theory held that meteorites somehow formed in the sky during violent thunderstorms. Proponents of this idea suggested that particles inside the clouds consolidated because of the heat during a lighting flash. For this reason the rocks were sometimes referred to as thunderstones.'
