New Jersey Home Struck by Possible Meteorite

A metallic object, possibly a meteorite, crashed through the roof of a house in Hopewell Township, New Jersey, and ricocheted around a bedroom. No one was injured. Officials suspect it is related to the current meteor shower, called the Eta Aquariids, which is an annual phenomenon in which debris from the famous Halley’s Comet rains down into Earth’s atmosphere. The police department is working to identify the object and safeguard the residents and the object.
