PARABNORMAL NEWS — A metallic-looking space rock crashed into a home in Hopewell Township, New Jersey on Monday.<\/p>\n
“It appears whatever came from the sky fell through the roof,” Suzy Kop tells CBS Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Due to the speed it had to be traveling, the apparent meteorite dented a bedroom floor, ricocheted up to the ceiling and punctured another hole. <\/p>\n
Thankfully, nobody was home at the time to be injured.<\/p>\n
“I did touch the thing because I just thought it was a random rock, I don’t know, and it was warm,” said Kop, whose father owns the home.<\/p>\n
The rock measuring 4″ by 6″ is possibly from the Eta Aquariids meteor shower<\/a>, although the origins of the object are not yet known.<\/p>\n This kind of thing is rare.<\/p>\n “For it to actually strike a house, for people to be able to pick up, that’s really unusual. It has happened very few times in history,” commented Derrick Pitts<\/a>, Chief Astronomer and Director of the Fels Planetarium at The Franklin Institute.<\/p>\n He says it could be from the beginning of the solar system some four to five billion years ago.<\/p>\n Police say<\/a> they’re working to identify the object.<\/p>\n
