What is the probability that a meteorite will go through the roof of your house and end up lying there in the living room? Although it seems that it is an impossible story, it happened in New Jersey, in the United States.
It turns out that a possible meteorite recently crashed into (and passed through) the roof of a house in Hopewell Township, in Mercer County, New Jersey.
A meteorite fell on a house
How was the matter? According to what they report local media, A few days ago at night a loud noise was heard in the area and the people who live in the house quickly looked out to see what had happened.
Surprisingly they found with a more or less large stone on the floor and a hole in the ceiling, through which he entered.
The residents of the house, who were not in the area at the time, called the police, and the police called the University of New Jersey, to be specific, the Physics department.
Dr. Nate Magee, from this department, Explain that it is rare for a meteorite to hit a house since 99.9% of the meteorites that have hit the ground fall where there is a lot of ice like Antarctica.
As the possible meteorite fell in the house, those who live there are the owners. However, it is interesting to analyze it to know Is it a meteorite and where does it come from? That is why the experts from the university asked the owners to take it in for study.
At the moment, the only thing that is known and according to statements by the Hopewell police officer, this stone could be a meteorite and could be related to the recent Eta Aquarids meteor shower. It’s nuts, nothing can be guaranteed yet because they are analyzing it.
