Default Constantine and the Meteorite

http://space.newscientist.com/articl...g-is-safe.html

reports a meteorite hit Italy in the fourth century and it has been proposed that this was Constantine's conversion point.

Anyone know about this?

Might Mountainman be correct?

There was a BBC documentary within the past year on the Science Channel called "Hot Rocks" that brought up the same point. I can't remember the name of the actual episode was though.
