TULSA - The only person on Earth known to have been struck by space debris hopes to be outside when pieces of the Russian space station Mir fall from the sky.

In fact, Lottie Williams of Tulsa will be walking laps early today in O'Brien Park just like she always does. It's the same park, at 66th Street North and Lewis Avenue, where she was hit by a rocket part in 1997.

"I don't want to be inside, I really don't," Williams said. "There's no noise, so the only defense you have with one of those things is to see it coming. Unless you're like me where you get hit from behind."

Williams was hit in the shoulder by what is believed to be part of a Delta II rocket body launched April, 24, 1996. It entered Earth's atmosphere about 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 22, 1997.
