From Times Wire Reports
A mysterious object that crashed through the roof of a home and landed in the bathroom was a meteorite, experts said. No one was injured.
For now, scientists are calling the dense metallic object “Freehold Township” after the place where it fell. The meteorite, about the size of a golf ball, weighs about 13 ounces. Geologists determined it was an iron meteorite because of its density and magnetic properties.
