A possible meteorite crashed through the roof of a New Jersey residence this week to the shock of the homeowners, officials said.
The four-by-six-inch object struck the ranch-style home on Old Washington Crossing Pennington Road in Hopewell Township on Monday, destroying the hardwood floor, the Hopewell Township Police Department said.
“It appears whatever came from the sky fell through the roof of the top window that’s my dad’s bedroom,” resident Suzy Kop told CBS.
Kop said she thought someone had thrown a rock at the house until she got a closer look at the oblong object, which was “warm” to the touch.
“We are thinking it’s a meteorite, came through here, hit the floor here because that’s completely damaged, it ricocheted up to this part of the ceiling and then finally rested on the floor there,” she told the outlet.
