MONMOUTH COUNTY, N.J. -

Authorities were trying to identify a mysterious metallic object that crashed through the roof of a house in eastern New Jersey. The golf-ball sized object, weighing nearly as much as a can of soup, struck the home and embedded itself in a wall Tuesday night. Federal officials sent to the scene said it was not from an aircraft.

I searched and didn't see this posted. This is the first time I have posted a photo so I hope it works. (Thanks to the freeper sandbox).

Is it a Boeing bomb? Quick, call Joe Dirt.

[AntiKev]

Meteor? Just a guess.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Looks like "GOLD".

A present from the O'Hare UFO...? :-)

[RightWhale]

Since this is about the tenth thread, they must have identified this object by now. Last story was it was part of a satellite, and if it is steel that would be unlikely, but if it is aluminum it is too heavy.

Hmmmm....metallic object which looks like a meteorite. Now what could it be? They need better detectives.

[dfwgator]

Did it land anywhere near Grover's Mill?

[nmh]

An asteroid?

[IronJack]

It may be a part off the UFO that was crusing O'Hare Airport. They took a wrong turn at Cleveland and the flying saucer broke down on the Paramus off-ramp.

It's sad that you're the only FReeper I've seen reference my favorite Bad Movie.

My earlier post on this story:

Just a piece of radioactive Russian space debris. No big deal.

If the owner of the house can spot an image of the Virgin Mary in that thing, he should call GoldenPalace.com to try to get a few $$$.

Snicker. Wonder how many will get that...

Near which exit?

[Orlando]

It does look like gold ?
This happened on Tuesday and today over most of the western states it's been reported that part of a Russian rocket came down.

I once heard of a frozen block of turd from an aircraft smashing into someones house.

[NonValueAdded]

Was this about the time of thet Russian rocket's re-entry and burn up in the atmosphere?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Actually, a piece of Russian space debris was spotted over Colorado...it was the remains of a rocket that launched a satellite for the French, and a portion of the rocket survived re-entry and impacted Earth in the State of Wyoming. The New Jersey incident was a separate situation.....looks like a small meteorite.
