Alien rock causes cosmic disturbance in New Jersey home

Residents of a home in New Jersey have been left shaken after a possible meteorite crashed through the roof, ricocheted off a hardwood floor, and dented the ceiling before coming to a rest.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the freak incident at a house on Old Washington Crossing Pennington Road, Hopewell Township, on Monday afternoon. The object appears to be metallic, measuring 4" by 6".

Owner Suzy Kop told a CBS affiliate that no one was at home at the time and said at first she believed someone had chucked a rock through the window.
