HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A family in New Jersey says a metallic object believed to be a meteorite fell from the sky and struck the roof of their home.
“We are thinking it’s a meteorite that came through here and hit the floor here because that’s completely damaged. It ricocheted up to this part of the ceiling and then finally coming down and resting on the floor there,” she said.As she stepped around the debris and sheetrock, she found a metallic rock in the corner.
Derrick Pitts, the chief astronomer at the Franklin Institute, said it could be 4 to 5 billion years old and was probably left over from the beginning of the solar system.
