New Jersey police investigate possible meteorite that crashed into home

Police in Hopewell, New Jersey, are trying to determine if a rock that crashed into a home on Monday came from outer space.

In a press release, the Hopewell Township Police Department said a metallic object believed to be a meteorite crashed through the roof of a home on Old Washington Crossing Pennington Road.

People were in the home when the "oblong" shaped, 4-inch-by-6-inch metallic object crashed through the roof, then the ceiling before impacting the hardwood floor and coming to rest.

The department added that no one was hurt when the object crashed into the house.
