Workers at a New Jersey treatment plant say they saw a heavy, metallic object fall from the sky Wednesday, and they want to know where the potentially deadly projectile came from.

"It came close. It came pretty close," said employee Victor Suppa.

It "could have killed somebody, absolutely" if it hit anyone, added operations foreman Steven Bronowich.

“A 5-by-5 inch piece of metal that appears to be made of ceramic, metal and rubberlike layers fell from the sky.”

I see nothing wrong with that sentence. Did you miss a comma?

Reminds me of a tile from the space shuttle.

I've seen shuttle heat shield tiles.

This kinda looks like one.

Remember the good old days, those days before emission controls, computers and catalytic converters? Back when if the car didn’t start or ran poorly you didn’t have to have it hooked up to a computer to diagnose and you could do the repairs yourself at home. I sure do.

I don’t think Grover’s Mill exists anymore. IIRC, it was subsumed under a local government consolidation plan by that crooked Dem NJ governor, former Dem senator former Goldman Sachs CEO and Bernie Madoff class thief, Jon Corzine.

But I was very disappointed when I heard what happened to the town.

They probably still have the memorial to the broadcast, though.

Oh, come on! Things from the eighth dimension would be projected as 5 dimensional objects in our three dimensional world. You must have been edjucated in a gubmint school.
