Authorities were trying to identify a mysterious metallic object that crashed through the roof of a house in eastern New Jersey.

Nobody was injured when the golf-ball sized object, weighing nearly as much as a can of soup, struck the home and embedded itself in a wall Tuesday night. Federal officials sent to the scene said it was not from an aircraft.

The rough-surfaced object, with a metallic glint, was displayed Wednesday by police.

I wonder if that was a big can of soup? That would be very heavy, if it was a really big can of soup. Looks like they have big golf balls there as well.

The thing actually hit a house and no-one was hurt. If it'd come down in Indonesia it would've been a h#ll of alot bigger and several villages and towns would've been wiped out.

IF (and I think IF is the operative word here) that thing is a meteorite, I hope the house owners hang on to it - it could be worth a lot of money to them. When meteorites fell over Park Forest - a suburb of Chicago, a few years ago, the local Police collected up many samples as "evidence" and were then caught selling them to dealers rather than returning them to the owners of the property they fell on as the rightful owners !!!.

I'll probably get busted now by the CIA for reporting that

Significant that He was silent on the subject of soup though.
