FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A metal, rock-like object about the size of a golf ball and weighing nearly as much as a can of soup crashed through the roof of a Monmouth County home, and authorities on Wednesday were trying to figure out what it was.

Nobody was injured when the oblong object, weighing more than 13 ounces, crashed into the home and embedded itself in a wall Tuesday night. Federal officials sent to the scene said it was not from an aircraft.

The rough-feeling object, with a metallic glint, was displayed Wednesday by police. "There's some great interest in what we have here," said Lt. Robert Brightman. "It's rather unusual. I haven't seen anything like it in my career."

What do you guys think it is? A Meteorite? A piece of an alien space craft? A piece of metal some guy shot out of his spud gun?...


Thoughts?
 
A metal-like golf ball object? Superman's balls have finally dropped.
 
Id say meteorite, looks like its smooth on one side, as a meteorite would be after burning through the atmosphere. In all likelihood it's probably not, but that would be cool
 
cool!!I want one.It looks sorta like lead.
 
^ Yes I agree. It probably is what's left of a meteorite after burning up in the atmosphere.
 
That would be interesting. I wish that this thing was putting off radiation, that would have made things more interesting.
 
Yeah then it would've been somethin' like this: The cops come back to the house where the object was found and tell them:" we're sorry to inform you that the object is highly radioactive and you've got about 5 days left to live":|
 
meh I could ahve said god ..but god is always blamed for stuff falling from the sky ..like when it rains people say he's crying or that he has a problem with dandruff when it's snowing ..jesus has stuff to lose too you know
 
the cops smiling looks like saying "weee me are a astronaut wusshhh"
 
Maybe it was my penis!
No, wait. That's on my desk.

Prolly some noob with a catapult shooting crap.

why would you cut your penis and put it on the desk? some kind of ritual?



meteorite.
 
Had it been a meteorite surely someone would of seen it approching. For a meteorite to be that sized by the time it reaches the ground, it needs to have an already substantial size so as it doesn't completely vapourise in the atmosphere...
 
It was the golf ball that was played on the moon back during the apollo missions!
Came home!

or God is on the toliet and having a wild case of IBS when it's thundering...
 
Oh, dayum. I knew I shot that kidney stone pretty hard, but I didnt realize it would land all the way over there.
 
lol, I live in Freehold Township. The meteor was incredibly small, about the size of a baseball. It went through a house, through a tile floor in a bathroom, bounced back up and lodged itself into a wall.
 
Maybe they have an autistic girl with psychic powers next door who doesn't like them.

Rose red....... rose red.................
 
Why am I not surprised that an American community is puzzled by a rock.
 
Its pluto ... its a small version ofv what's gunna happen too us
 
Ah, the rail cannon tests have suceeded.

I know :| I mean don't these people know that large rocks falling from the sky, crashing through your house, and lodging into walls are normal occurences!?

Not normal, but events like that are common knowledge, as is the how and why. For example, if I was on a boat, and a submarine passed by, I wouldn't go WTF was THAT??? - Just because it wasn't a "normal" event 'round these parts. I have never seen a submarine in real life, but I still know one when I see one. Yet these Americans can't understand it's just a meteorite (which is basically a rock from space anyway), just because they haven't seen one before.

"It looks like a rock, but rocks live in the ground, and this one came from the sky....I don't get what it is..."[/inbred hick accent]

Yay for stereotypes!

Of course people realize it could be a meteorite.:rolleyes: That's what they think it is, and it's being tested.

The only reason it made headlines is that it's an unusual occurance to have one hit a house.
 
Neutrino got to it before I did . Thats what they think it is. They went to some guy and he even told them anywhere from 20-50 objects like this fall onto the planet every day.

Oh yeah I didn't know New jersey had Inbred Hicks :|
