James said she was a little scared during the impact, but added that she's definitely going to keep the rock, which she described as being very heavy.

NASA has since confirmed there was a meteor that first became visible 49 miles above Stagecoach, a small town northwest of Houston.

James said the rock tore a hole through the roof, landed in her daughter's bedroom, ricocheted off the floor and back into the ceiling before landing on her bed

It “bounced” off the floor, no?

But floor is, in the strictest sense, not ground.

It’s just one of those funny technicalities I like to play with. In practice once it stops moving it’s a meteorite. But the technical definition does say ground so if one wants to be picayune and silly about it you can have a little fun with meteors that only hit man made surfaces.
