TL;DR Summary

A metallic object, possibly a meteorite, crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home and ricocheted across a bedroom before coming to rest on the floor. The object was about 4 inches by 6 inches and was warm to the touch when found by the homeowner's sister. Authorities tested the object for radiation and called in a geophysicist who said it appears consistent with a meteorite. The family is keeping the object in a safe location. This is a rare occurrence, especially for something this big to come through the atmosphere.
