A metallic, oblong object tore through the roof of a house in Freehold Township on Tuesday, mystifying the family living there and perplexing authorities, who could not immediately say where it came from.
Scientists were eager to examine the golden, rocklike lump, which measures about 21/2 inches by 1 inch and weighs 13 ounces - about the same as a soup can.
The mother told cops she heard "an unusual sound" about 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, police said.
Her son found the object that night in an upstairs bathroom, where it damaged some tiles before embedding itself in the wall. The family called the cops yesterday.
Geologists were intrigued by the object and said its composition must be examined to determine whether it was extraterrestrial or manmade.
